about 3 or 4 months ago, we started bodybuilding to try to get into the best shape of our lives. we were buying all the supplements, taking the protein shakes, reading all the latest science on nutrition from Muscle & Fitness & Muscle & Fitness Hers. I was even taking Hydroxycut & Travis was taking a thermogenic he ordered from bodybuilding.com. we were following strict diets from bodybuilding programs & drinking a gallon of water a day.
