Best PWO Supp....
Anyone with any good reviews on PWO's? I have taken the below: - BSN NoExplode (5 out of 10 stars): My first PWO and since it was my first it rocked but really it is just full of caffeine IMO. It has some Arginine but I never saw any Beta-alanine so that is a no go for me. It could be in their "Proprietary Blend" but who…

Vitamin/Calorie Question
I have been tracking my caloric intake pretty close and the vitamins I take equal about 60 calories. Should I track these also or do I need to be concerned with them?

16 cals a day above maintenance for 10lb muscle a year?
Your thoughts on Mike Mentzers 10lb of muscle per year statement. 1lb of muscle = 600 calories. 10lb of muscle therefore 6000 calories. 600 calories divided by 365 days is 16 calories... 4g of protein.
