Awhile back when i decided to bulk i gave pro lab n-large2 a try and wow that stuff really worked great for. It was my first bulk but still i took it twice in the day and once before i went to bed and helped really good with my soreness and overall felt really good when i was on it. i think i gained roughly twenty pounds but towards the end lost a little weight cause it was hard to eat so many calories. Overall i was happy with it. Great tasting as well.
