Question im a freshmen going to sopmore. i want to know is there any good muscle building product out there that is safe. i need to build muscle fast because i am not big enough. im 16 and only 5'6 can bench 130 and squat 185.
Answer Hi Rich. I seem to be getting a lot of these questions lately from kids your age. And I tell them all the same thing. No product, supplement or gimmick machine is going to give you the results if you're not training hard and eating right. And nine times out of ten, these same kids are not doing either one.
