One day I was in the bookstore reading a bodybuilding book and I got hooked on the life style. My high school years was great it was the 80's and our high school gym had some good weights for a beginer. I began making fast gains with the Joe Weider's system, for over 20th years now.I want to move on to 2003 I was told have very high cholesterol and I need to get this under control, so I began to go back to what helped me with my seizure and I know it would control this condition. Bodybuilding is good in controling medical condition in the body along with good food. Just call me the come back kid I was told by my doctor in 2006 that now I have type 2 Diabetes. I been working at control the diabetes, because diabetes breakdown cells in the body; with this in mind I could be nothing but all Natural (I been Natural 42 years ,all my life) It been almost 2 year now and I'm on the come back.

For the last 7 years I been using the ripped system it works and I have a 7.5% body fat at 42 years old. Ripped is the sensible way to achieve ultimate muscularity. I always strive to improve, not only my body but my hold life.

Hey, I read your comment on wanting to lose some belly fat, and I think I have a good tip for you. I recommend reading the book Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle, by Tom Venuto. This book is a great way to learn how to diet correctly. I have been on this diet for 1 year and have lost 70 lbs. About lipo 6x, dont depend on a product to lose fat, dieting is most important.

I don't like Lipo 6X, I tried it and did nothing for me. I like Ergopharm Amp and ALRI Venom. I would really watch the diet and increase the cardio and your BF will drop. -Phil

Thanks man. Honestly, to get cut in 60 days-strict diet, loads of cardio, obviously water has to be flushed and a good protein like ON 100% Whey. There are no magic pills just hard work and determination. Just recently I have tried ALRI Venom and I like it but it does not substitute my cardio. Talk to you later. -Phil
