Yesterday Daniel Clough and the team at WannaBeBig.com dropped my second article on the site Unilateral Hypertrophy – Killing it One Leg at a Time: Part 2.

.

And since Daniel is such a great guy, when I asked him if he’d be willing to throw down some product for a pre-Christmas giveaway he was totally on board.  So today I’m offering up two 2.2 pound tubs of Nitrean protein powder for FREE.

.

And just so you know, Nitrean is a two time winner of the Best Protein Powder designation by the Men’s Health Nutrition Awards.  It is high quality protein and it tastes really damn good!

.

All you have to do to score yourself some is leave a comment below letting me know you want it and I’ll pick a winner out of a hat tomorrow (Thursday) at the end of the day or when we get 50 comments…whichever comes first.

.

On your mark… get set… GO!

In light of all the controversy lately over Mike Boyle’s no squatting comment I thought it would be a shame if I didn’t include something on that subject as well.  Please watch and enjoy.

 

 

I should note that some people have commented previously that pigs do not stand upright so this doesn’t necessarily apply.  Unfortunately, when I asked my friends to use their spines them seemed unusually resistant to the idea.  The good news is that pig spines are a pretty decent model for human spines which is why many spine researchers actually use them in their research.

 

 As usual, please share your thoughts, comments, and questions below.
