I jst recently started using Matrix 5.O. It has egg, whey and casein. Its extremely convient to have protein from all three sources in one scoop.
Which type do you think is best and why?
whey protein because it is the one that fits most situations best.

Have you ever had a lifting injury?
Yes
What type of injury was it? How long were you injured? How did you recover?
I tore my left shoulder muscle showing off during a clean and press. Later In tore the ligaments in my left shoulder from being slammed into the ground. I stressed my knee by slightly losing my blance during a 300lb free weight squat. I've busted my nose two times boxing and one time messing around on a trampoline. I've strained various bodyparts from training.I tore my left shoulder muscle showing off during a clean and press. Later In tore the ligaments in my left shoulder from being slammed into the ground.

Why I like this video: This isn't one of my favorite videos but I like who it shows. Here are a couple of the greatest guys to ever touch stage. Arnold is the embodiment of the American dream. Ronnie has the most wins of any man in the game. Too bad he is seeing such a slide as of late.
So i've been dealing with some emotional issues. I'm bipolar but i thought i've been doing pretty good with it over the years. I havent ben on meds sicne i was a teen. I had some drug problems in my early twenties. It was around that time i started hitting the weights. That in it self has helped...
I just got off of ths crazy, single exercise, high volume routinue that ended up drivng me nuts! At first it was ok but by week four where i was doing 15 sets of 15 of the same exercise it drove me nuts. Not that it...
The modeling stuff will be picking up here...I am just keeping my ass in shape regardless....I have a good feeling about everything though...You got good symmetry homie..keep it up!
Thanks man! That is very nice to hear and I appreciate you taking the time to write it! I checked out your videos today! Very impressive! Nice to have you as a neighbor (statewise - anyway)! The best is in the future! ~Ray
