212 – Pre-Workout Deep Dive, Creatine Value, Active Rest

First up:  go check out the new website at FiveStarrPhysique.com !  This episode was delayed a few days while waiting for the new site to get published (otherwise this episode would get lost in the shuffle) so apologies for the delay but we’re in business now! So, today!  We’re tackling a few listener questions (special hat tip to Ron in Tennessee for a couple of these) – the first being just about pre-workouts generally, and instead of just rattling off some nonsense I do a little live digging into labels to come up with a ‘naughty’ and ‘nice’ list for what I’m looking for in a product usually (and what I’m looking for currently, which is NOT what I advise here). Next, creatine:  is it worth it?  This question comes up so often it’s probably worth covering in every 3rd or 4th episode. Also, active rest:  what is it, and (spoiler alert) why should you never do it? And finally, an update on the front of both the NPC and their competition ‘committee-to-be’ and also the IFBB/Wings of Strength and their relationship with Stephanie Flesher.
