Jeff Anderson’s “Homemade Supplement Secrets”
This is a timely guide that offers bodybuilders a viable alternative to paying the supplement companies’ high prices for questionable value.
Homemade Supplement Secrets gives readers the inside story on the supplement industry and then the insider information on home-based supplement making. Making your own supplements is a surprisingly simple endeavor and, with Anderson’s tutelage, trainers quickly learn to brew up supplements that are better than the brand names (at a savings of literally hundreds and hundreds of dollars).
Bottom Line: This is an option that any serious trainer interested in getting the edge that intelligent supplementation can provide (without going broke) should explore. Knock-off recipes for 24 top-selling supplements, a full listing of ingredient suppliers and lifetime updates are included.

Lee Hayward’s “Blast Your Biceps”
Every guy wants impressive guns but the biceps can be a tricky muscle group to get growing. Lee Hayward was once amongst the genetically noodle-armed legion of frustrated guys. He isn’t anymore.
His “Blast Your Biceps” packs everything he learned to get his biceps up to the “impressive” level into an intense program. It is everything the weakest of the weak-armed needs to stop dreading the warm-weather short-sleeve thing.
Bottom Line: This program is an intelligent and powerful approach to putting some serious bulk on the arms. Hayward’s passion is infectious and his knowledge invaluable.
