i dont mean to argue with or oppose you but you have to see that whats sauce for goose aint ness sauce for the gander. i had the same training partner for close on 10yrs, some supps worked him and not on me and vice versa. and believe me i tried everything poss to get an extra kilo or two on my three lifts, naturally with supps that is. not to say aminos dont work but they arent ness as an extra therefore not worth it, can easily get em thru shakes and diet.
