What's up guys?

Welcome back and happy Friday. For those of you that are on a social media,

you probably saw on Tuesday that Empowered Nutrition, creatine is finally available. So we did a

limited quantity run on it, but we still have some in stock. I'm going to link it in the description

muscle is actually built

during that rest time. So when you hear people talk about, I go to the gym seven days a week,
