Here is the link for the full size image just in case you would like to see what the coupon looks like and some popular supplements to order. Note that just like in BodyBuilding.com’s top 50 supplements (which I posted an article on previously), Muscle Milk, Animal Pack, Syntha-6, and NO-XPLODE are all listed. Told ya they were some of the best! Now you have some confirmation.

Type in the following coupon code during checkout:

MassNutrition.com

This company is an online supplement store.

GOOD THINGS-

More often than not, you will find the lowest price for your supplements here.

An additional bonus to low pricing is the weekly discounts that MassNutrition has. If you sign up for email notification (located at the bottom right of the Home page), which is free, you will receive weekly supplement sale notification. Often these are 48 hour sales only, so it is very beneficial to have email notification. Mass Nutrition is very good about having these sales on supplements that people actually like to buy (unlike SupplementWarehouse), such as all BSN products (this includes NO-XPLODE and SYNTHA-6) or on Cytosport’s MUSCLE MILK. A big thumbs up in the pricing department. A good idea is to price match your supplements with MassNutrition and DiscountAnabolics.

BAD THING-

If your product is out of stock and gets back ordered, be prepared to wait….a while! Usually, your supplements will arrive in 2-3 days; this is true for high stock products like Muscle Milk, NO-Xplode and Syntha-6. I personally have experienced both the good shipping and the bad shipping (took almost 4 weeks) from MassNutrition.

The other negative to this company is the shipping prices. Anything you order is going to be 15 bucks hands down, and the price only goes up from there. The only redemption being that orders over $199.00 are shipped free. Now that seems like a lot of money, but when you think of what a order could look like (example):

2 (60 serving) NO-Xplode

3 Jugs of Muscle Milk

2 Animal Pak Multivitamins

Then you may be hitting up that target price for free shipping, then the low prices from this site really become beneficial. Yes that is a large order, but if you order products that are foundational supplements to your training, then you can order in bulk because you know that you will eventually need more anyway. The down side being you have to drop 200 bucks in one order. Another idea is to combine your order with someone else (like your training partner) and reaching a $200 order will be easier.

One more downer for MassNutrition is their customer service. What customer service????? Check out the policy:

For inquiries about existing orders or to check on the status of an order, please email us at the address below. We will respond within 24 hours. support@massnutrition.com

24 hours my ass!! I don’t even know if they read any emails. Obviously I sent them a few choice worded emails about my order that took 3.5 weeks to come in. They only responded to my final email when I added that they had long since charged my credit card and that if I didn’t here back from any customer service representative in one more day, then I was going to call Visa and report a false charge to my card and have this reported to the Better Business Bureau. Needless to say, they called me the next day…What I thought you guys only corresponded by email!! What a surprise! Yes they have a phone # 1-866-577-MASS (6277), which I called by the way, only to get hung up on and told that the phone number was only for making orders and for customer support, to email them. I know one other person that this has happened to as well.

I must say that I have made multiple orders from MassNutrition and have made them since the bad shipping incident as well and have received everything else very promptly.

If ordering here, stick to the popular products that should be in stock, and try to get that free shipping.

The Highlights of this website and good prices, and depending on what product-the cheapest, and the best shipping rate that I have found for online supplement stores. DiscountAnabolics charges a flat rate of $5.95 for packages under 7lbs and $0.85 for each additional pound.

So if your ordering two jugs of

muscle milk or a little bottle of

vpx redline,

you will still pay $5.95 for shipping. Now that may sound like a rip off to you to pay the same amount for two drastically different sized products, but if you go ordering from another online company like MassNutrition, SupplementWarehouse, or A1Supplements, then you will be paying more along the lines of $12.00 to $15.00 (and maybe even more) for shipping, regardless the size of the product.

So to sum things up, if you are price matching your products amongst the recommended sites, make sure you investigate the price of shipping as well as the price of the product. Once again, DiscountAnabolics has the lowest shipping rate that I have seen online. Take it all into consideration before making that purchase.

Why do we show you the top 50 products that we sell? Because this can help you make a smart buying decision! The most popular products are usually the ones that work the best! People are buying them over and over and telling friends about them everyday.

You can see the entire top 50 list here, but I have decided to highlight some of my favorite products that I have personally used and recommend; no wonder they are aslo in the top ten out of the 50!

Coming in at #2 on Bodybuilding.com’s list -but #1 on mine, is BSN’s

NO-Xplode

Amplify Mental Focus, Performance, Strength, & Training Intensity!

Here is what BSN is advertising:

N.O.-XPLODE™ is BSN’s #1 selling extreme pre-training energy and performance igniter. From the very first serving you will experience elevated physical and mental energy, muscle-expanding pumps, unparalleled strength and stamina; not to mention tunnel-vision like mental focus, allowing you to zone in and have the best training session possible. By combining all of these benefits in one knock-out formula, you will experience a level of training intensity that you never thought was imaginable, getting you physically and mentally dialed in for the training session that lies before you; leaving those days of lackluster workouts behind. Once you train with N.O.-XPLODE™, you will never train without it!

Well, they are right about that-Once you train with N O-XPLODE™, you will never train without it!

Basically, this stuff gets you pumped up, dialed in (to the zone), and tuned out to anything but training. If you take some NO-Xplode and hit the weight room, you are sure to have a better work out than you would with out it.

N O-Xplode will increase your fatigue endurance and your drive to stay in the gym & continue lifting weights.

N O-Xplode’s Key ingredients that drive the ‘Pump’ are L-Arginine AKG and L-Citrulline Malate.

As far as the ‘Pump’ is concerned, Arginine relaxes blood vessels-resulting in increased oxygen and blood to the muscles, this in turn should help create the pump quicker and make your lifts a little more solid. Citrulline Malate is a lactic acid buffer that shuttles built up toxins out of the muscle during exercise, increasing rep capacity. The infusion of Citrulline Malate into the muscels aslo results in a major decrease in soreness.

N O X-Plode also contains a high quality creatine matrix.

*It is also a great hang over remedy (Maybe BSN should advertise that as well-Ha!).

No Xplode has won

Nitric Oxide Product Of The Year 2005-2007

as well as

Muscle Builder Product Of The Year 2005-2007

and for good reason too.

———————————————————————————————————————–

The next two products, coming in at #’s 3 and 4 are CytoSport’s Muscle Milk & BSN’s Syntha Six.

Both Products are protein powders. Why are they a best seller and ranked 3rd and 4th? Because they are f-ing delicious! Seriously, they are probably the best tasting protein powders available, hence why everybody is buying them.

2 scoops of Muscle Milk has 32 grams of delicious protein &

2 scoops of Syntha-6 has 44 grams of equally delicious protein.

If you are wondering about the fat content of these products, don’t be dismayed, read on:

Leading scientists assessing the true role of fats in increasing lean muscle growth have shown all fats are not created equal. The type of fat determines whether you use it for muscle energy or store it as body fat! The LeanLipids™ used in Muscle Milk® promote fat loss three ways:

Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCTs), the predigested “fast burning fats,” are more likely burned for muscle energy and heat than stored as fat. 20% of Muscle Milk lipids are MCTs.

Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids are also less likely to be stored as fat. Special enzyme engineering makes these lipids even more functional and enhanced mineral retention.

So, while Muscle Milk may contain slightly more fat than low-fat high-carb products, our Lean Lipids™ are designed to help you get leaner.

Basically they both share similar product profiles and mission towards developing growth:

Muscle Milk is the first product patterned after Nature’s ultimate anabolic food—human mother’s milk. Locked within the composition of human mother’s milk are long-held secrets to muscle growth potential. We took the next step and actually duplicated these important muscle growth factors into Muscle Milk. Muscle Milk helps you grow muscle like never before.

Product Highlights

Sustained Release (up to 8 hours of amino acid nitrogen delivery)

Multi-Functional A.M.-P.M. Protein Blend

6 Different Ultra-Premium Proteins (nutritionally complete/complete amino acid profiles)

Aspartame Free

‘ridiculously’ delicious flavors

We all must have a multi vitamin to complete your nutritional regimen when your delivering intense stress and fatigue to your body through weight training…but not all Multi Vitamins are created equal. Thats why Universal Nutrition created the Animal Pack. (Make sure to check out AnimalPack.com to see different types of animal packs other than the multi vitamin)

The #1 selling training pak in the world for twenty three years straight. Since 1984, more competitive bodybuilders have cut their teeth on the Animal Pak than any other bodybuilding supplement in history. Why? Simple. Animal Pak gets the job done. It works. First time. Last time. Every time.

These guys are serious about training and serious about supplementation.

The Animal Pack multivitamin is superior to most other multi’s.

Check out the product profile here:

Here are some profile high lights:

Mega-Vitamin/Mineral/Antioxidant Complex

Key Amino Acid Blend

Performance Optimizers

Joint & Bone Support

EFA Complex

Digestive Enzymes

* Having digestive enzymes in a multi is very important. Many times, especially with cheaper Wal Mart kind of vitamins, your body will pass them with out ever being able to break them down; so you are literally shitting your money and vitamin down the pot.

As the “foundational” supplement, Animal Pak should be a part of every bodybuilder’s regimen.

I agree!

The only thing that you may not like about the Animal Pack is that each pre packaged pack (comes in containers of 44) contains 11 stinky pills. I can down the whole pack in one gulp, but some people just can’t eat a lot of pills, so that may pose a problem. They stink? Yes. But at least you know they are potent right!? Its not that bad.

BodySpace

is another added feature to Bodybuilding.com

BodySpace can be compared to a MySpace for bodybuilders.

Muscular Development Is a paperback and/or online Hardcore BodyBuilding Magazine!

The MD Website is 100% free and is a top notch resource for Bodybuilders.

Highlights of the website are the

Forums-for both

natural and chemically enhanced bodybuilders

MD TV which provides free interviews and video coverage of many pro events and athletes

No Bull Radio- hosted weekly by the Muscle Mob-John Romano and Dave Palumbo,  is a “No Bull” talk radio who have professional bodybuilders, supplement industry leaders and product inventors, and other guests that discuss whats hot in the body building world

Contest Coverage and Photos are available for free online

MD also has an online supplement store

* An added perk to the forums is that several pro bodybuilders have accounts on the forums and it is fairly easy to ask them questions and get some top notch information.

MD is the most up front, no bull, body building magazine. There is a reason why so many IFBB pro bodybuilders are affiliated with MD.

There is an area on the MD website where you can look at their subscription offers for the online magazine or paper back version. Once again, the website and all of its features are 100% free!

To give you an idea of what the MD staff is like,

Dave Palumbo, nick named The Anabolic Freak, is the online editor of the magazine as well as co host of No Bull Radio. MD is 100% hard core bodybuilding.

Here are all of the covers to each issue of the MD magazine and a few randoms that I thought were pretty cool; apparently the magazine was out whenever Arnold was a pro.

Franco Columbo: Arnold’s training partner and 2 time Mr. Olympia

Biggest Legs in the business: Tom Platz
