1.) I am currently using EAS chocolate whey Post workout. The reason behind this is, it's cheap and fairly high quality as far as price goes.
2.) Protein Per servings, grams per serving, price per serving.
3.) Training background has been for four years on and off with high school sports but steady since Oct 2010
4.) The most important training objective is to gain mass and better my phyisque overall
5.) I like the concept and hopefully this product is worth it.

I like this idea, thank you for reading.

[jon922]

Damn I need to post more! Otherwise I meet everything else.

1. Cytosport complete whey

2.reputation/ recomendation, taste, and price

3. 4 months

4. To gain lean muscle and get to 165 lbs with around 10% bodyfat.

5. All in one sounds like a great idea. You don't have to remember to take so many things!

6. Chocolate.

I am 29 and a Florida usa resident. I have been really interested in ON products and was planning on being my next purchase but if there was a way I could get the hookup then that just sweetens the deal. Thanks for any consideration.

[CDMMA]

Alright, well I meet all of the criteria, yay yay.

I'm still waiting on the samples, so hopefully they'll get here soon!

Anyways, I'm actually currently doing a log, but I would still like to participate either while I'm logging (as long as it would be OK with both companies), or after I'm finished logging the other product.

1. Currently I am using Massport. I was lucky enough to win this in a surprise promo within a promo. I do not want it to sound like the only reason I use it is because I won it, as I would not use it if it was not a solid product. I'm also just taking some EAS whey w/ oats after taking the Massport.

2. To be honest, price per serving might have to be the first thing I look for (see what fits into my price range), after I find products that fit into my price range I find which product people recommend/what has the highest marks, then I guess I could say I check the profile.

3. I've been training for awhile, didn't really lift seriously way back when, so that doesn't really count. I lifted semi-seriously about a year ago for several months, then I lost motivation, and about a two months ago I got back into it full fledged.

4. Honestly, just put on muscle

5. I think it would be extremely convenient! It would be save me the need to take multiple post-workout drinks!

6. Chocolate, although I've never tried a vanilla supplement either!

[person101]

1. I am over 18

2. I agree to use HydroBuilder once per day and post my honest feedback and a review.

3) What (if any) post workout product are you currently using - and why? I am currently using Combat Powder. I bought it because of all the reviews of CnC. It works pretty good keeps me from getting as sore, and is really tasty after a workout.

4) What - to you - are the top 3 most important criteria you require in choosing a brand you will use? I always look at reviews. Peoples feedback is very important to me when choosing a new supplement. I look at the company's history see what kind of other products they have out, see what people think about them look for products I have tried by that particular company. Third is price I do not want to spend a fortune on supplements.

5) How long have you been training? I have been training off and on for five years. I have gotten serious since I started College and have put on a good amount of size. I am very dedicated to lifting.

6) What is your single most important training objective? Success. I train to be successful I train to reach my goals. I am very determined in the gym.

7) What do you think of the concept of an all-in-one lean muscle constructor? That would be really nice. It would cut down on the price of having to buy multiple supplements.

8) Do you prefer Chocolate or Vanilla? I prefer Chocolate.

[Kickerof09]

Insane promo!

1) What (if any) post workout product are you currently using - and why?
Currently, I'm taking:
myofusion+5g optimum creatine+5g optimum glutamine
gatorade (~50g dextrose)
I use this because the simple sugars spike my insulin and help absorb my protein shake.. I take the glutamine to aid recover and creatine for my performance. Myofusion is obviously not the most ideal PWO protein but it tastes good...

2) What - to you - are the top 3 most important criteria you require in choosing a brand you will use?
a)Obviously reviews on products across the board. I use optimum creatine and glutamine because I have seen results from friends, the great reviews, and fanbase optimum has.
b) The profile and list of EVERYTHING i'm considering consuming on the label
c) Responsiveness to their customers. Companies make or break themselves in such forums as this regarding how they cinterract with their customers

3) How long have you been training?
I started 'bro training' in high school for football. I got a college scholarship and then got really serious into my lifting. In saying this, I just ate like crap and lifted aimlessly.... After doing loads of research over this last Christmas break, I started a slow, lean bulk in January which has packed on 15 pounds onto my original frame(5'9 145lbs----160lbs). Thus, I consider myself to have been training 'seriously' (weights+proper rest+good nutrition) since January

4) What is your single most important training objective?
Clean bulking right now so gaining as much muscle as possible!

5) What do you think of the concept of an all-in-one lean muscle constructor?
It would save me from buying additional supplements(glutamine, creatine etc). Being a college student, if I could keep my stack as basic as possible, the better for my body and wallet...

6) Do you prefer Chocolate or Vanilla?
You previously sent me a sample of the chocolate shake (thank you btw!) and I thought it was the greatest tasting shake EVER. Chocolate FTW!

I think logging this product would fit PERFECTLY into my current regime and I would keep an informative log on it (check my profile for previous supplement reviews and a sponsored glutamine log thread).

Thanks again offering a great promo!

[Aerogauge]

1) What (if any) post workout product are you currently using - and why? Currently using ON 100% Gold Standard Whey, Chocolate. I use it because the profile is solid and I like the taste.

2) What - to you - are the top 3 most important criteria you require in choosing a brand you will use? Company reputation, Product profile, Taste.

3) How long have you been training? 2 Years

4) What is your single most important training objective? Gain as much muscle as possible

5) What do you think of the concept of an all-in-one lean muscle constructor?I think it is an excellent idea, very convenient and makes for a very beneficial product

6) Do you prefer Chocolate or Vanilla? Currently take chocolate, Wouldn't mind trying Vanilla.

[Skinkboy]

1) What (if any) post workout product are you currently using - and why?

Muscle-Pharm Combat Powder - easy, blend

2) What - to you - are the top 3 most important criteria you require in choosing a brand you will use?

1: Personal Experience (obviously)
2: Company Rep/Product Reviews
3: Price

3) How long have you been training?

A bit over a year. Have gained around 40lbs, gains ain't slowing down.

4) What is your single most important training objective?

To build my body. I don't know what else to say, I want to be lean and fit, look awesome, and have the strength to go along with my looks. I also sort of model ancient warriors.

5) What do you think of the concept of an all-in-one lean muscle constructor?

Please...
It's such an efficient way to do things, especially in today's world. An "all in one lean muscle constructor" would probably save a lot of time, money, and effort when compared to buying a whole mix of lesser quality supplements and spending all the time to prepare and dose them all.
Also in tune with my lean, simple lifestyle; i'm sure gladiators didn't spend all day ingesting odd concoctions. It was a simple meal, followed by a tournament to the death.

6) Do you prefer Chocolate or Vanilla?

Chocolate.
