Just like this tough cardboard cutout is protecting the dymatize booth, make sure you protect your gains in the weight room with dymatize supplements. I am a firm believer that if you want to gain muscle and get lean you can't do it without a focus on protein synthesis. I've been taking dymatize #BCAAs and #ISO100Protein for the last 3 or 4 years and have really seen a reduction in body fat as well as a gain in lean muscle mass.

I used to lose 3-5 lbs of muscle during training camp from the long hours of training. The reason was simple...I wasn't getting enough BCAAs and I wasn't supplementing with a protein shake after workouts like I should have been.

In a sport where losing weight and making weight is paramount, it seemed "ok" for me to lose muscle during camp to make weight, but now that I hold more muscle and less fat, I find I can cut more water weight since muscle holds more water than fat. Therefore, not only is it easier to make weight these days; I'm bigger, faster and stronger in the cage.
