See that you've stated that it mixes well, are there a lot of "floaters" or residual?

I didn't see any. Mixed really well in my opinion especially considering I could not shake it.

Have fun at the wedding. I thought the Raiders had cap issues. I wonder how they managed that. I agree they are a bad organization.

Thanks man. I take a drink each time I switch exercises. It works out pretty well that way.

Let's talk about this for just one second... Why is it so bad to shake it and don't give me that "It will explode everyone" stuff.

Ouch this workout looks like a killer! You are what they call a very strong man.

[BuckleyInDaHous]

IDK bro, tbh When I received it my first day taking it I shook the hell outta of it in my shaker cup. Everything was fine.

I am running Norton's Phat routine and am loving it. As far as being considered strong, I guess I am. I try to be anyways

Anna516 shook and it blew the lid off her shaker per her log so that could be it. NO XPLODE will do it too. I know that from experience

It def has a tangy/carbonated taste to it so I believe it builds up some pressure when shaken, but I'd have to see it to believe it. Maybe it depends on the shaker cup (how much extra room/air is in there when shaken). I'd like to this on Myth Busters...
