This is my journey to play semi-pro football here in Wisconsin. I am trying to document all my training and dieting in hopes that one day I can show my kids what it takes to make it, and what I went through.

New Supplements
After giving MuscleFeast 3 months of my time, effort, and money, I have decided to switch supplement brands. After doing some research I decided on going with Muscle Pharm (www.musclepharm.com). Here are the supplements I will be taking.
Assault: Pre-workout. I never used MuscleFeasts pre-workout supp. I had been a religious Jack3d user, so switching brands was difficult, but I had to give Assault a shot. The reviews were great, and I am looking forward to changing it up.
Combat Powder: I replaced MuscleFeasts 100% & Micelar Casein with this product. They have a 5 protein blend. For the price per serving, and again, the reviews from a lot of people I respect, I had to give it a shot for myself.
Armor-V: This is Muscle Pharm's multi-vitamin. This product is pretty much what got the ball rolling for me to switch brands. I had been looking for a multi-vitamin for some time, and through research, and some suggestions I was pushed towards this product. The serving size is 6 pills, but the bottle has a month supply, so for the price, I am good with it. This is the first multi-vitamin I have taken in over 10 years, so I am looking forward to the next 90 days with it.
Creatine: I hadn't been supplementing creatine directly since I started training hard again. I have just gone with what was already in Jack3d, and in my Anabolic Recover from MuscleFeast. I decided for the next 90 days, I will also supplement Creatine, and since I went with Muscle Pharm, it made sense to give their creatine a shot as well. Assault also has Creatine in it, so I am getting 2 servings on workout days, and at least 1 serving daily.
Re-Con: This is Muscle Pharm's recovery drink. I use it immediately after any strenuous workout. After sprinting/agility training. After hitting the iron, and after games. The flavor is great, and again, only time will tell on how well it works, but with the reviews I am going to give it my 90 days.
As for an Intra-workout supplement I am sticking with Purple Wraath until that bottle is gone, and then i'm switching to AEN's Intrabolic product. I haven't looked into Muscle Pharm for an intra-workout product, but will do that research in the very near future. I am happy with Purple Wraath, and the reviews on that product are very good. I had also tried Scivation's Xtend, but wasn't overly impressed with the results.
I will review this products as I notice any differences along the way. It's just too soon to give them a fair review.
