The workout's are effin amazing and I've gotten cut from phase 1. Having said that I kind of wish I would've been using some of the supp's because they're very good and helpful. Didn't do so due to money issues. Either way I'm getting most of the supps for phase 2 in hopes for much bigger gains.

do the workout n get the supplements ur body needs its up to u u know what u need

I think the supplements are a must. I've noticed a enormous improvement in gains and soreness with the supplementation he has giving. Just trust it.

I had been working out since March w/o any "guidance" until the beginning of October and the only results I had achieved was a smaller stomach and higher energy and the only supp I was taking was about 25-50g of protein for the day. After 5 weeks of following the diet in P1 (incl at least 100g of supp protein/day) and 4 weeks of following P1, I am starting to see results such as increased muscle tone, and my gym-buddies are starting to notice too. I now see that supps are a must! Doesn't have to be MP brand, but use his recommendations as a benchmark. Make sure you also complement with fish oil and CLA - both are noticeably missing from the "menu".
