As you all know I’ve been learning a lot about the body building world. All kinds of samples have been thrown my way. Everything from creatine, to pre and post workout supplements, and my favorite… pain relieving cream! I’ve become fascinated by the whole “Pump” theory. I’ve found that guys at the gym LOVE talking about it and seeing their muscles pump up. Everyone is comparing brands and products that will help you get the maximum muscle pump so that you can lift heavy with a lot of energy and build lean muscle while burning fat.

Well, I had to take it one step further. Which one tastes good? Because honestly, some of these protein bars, shakes, and supplements taste like acid (that was a nice way of putting it).

So, today’s comparison: Muscletech Gakic vs. Gaspari Superpump. The results are IN!

Gaspari Superpump comes in two flavors, Orange and Fruit Punch. You take it 30-45 minutes before a workout on an empty stomach. Muscletch Gakic comes in Glacier Punch (it also comes in pill form, but you have to take 8 in one serving and they’re horsepills) and should also be taken 1/2 hr before working out. I found that SuperPump really did give me a pump. I was able to lift heavier and with more energy. The taste was a bit strong but not too bad. Gakic, on the other hand didn’t give me quite the pump I was expecting. The flavor wasn’t that good and the aftertaste was like drinking liquid metal.

Cost: Gakic $54, SuperPump $39 both available at Bodybuilding.com. In the end, I give Gaspari SuperPump 4 girlturf *stars* out of 5.

On a side note… I recently competed in the Colorado State Championships and took 2nd place in my class! It was a great show and all the big boys showed up. There was a SUPERheavy weight category! For pics click on http://www.photoreflect.com/pr3/ViewAlbum.aspx?a=303349

Pumps to you!

Will this be your first NOW Conference? Here are some fond memories NOW members have shared with us about their first conference!

Today, New York's highest court decided 4-2 that state law limits marriage to one man and one woman. Judge Robert Smith declined to expand the interpretation, saying that it is up to the state's legislature to change the law.

The National Organization for Women seeks a qualified bookkeeper/accounting assistant who will be responsible for the management of the day to day functions of the accounts payable and receivables process.

"Equal Marriage" isn't just a political wedge issue, it's the fundamental right to legal recognition and protection of a relationship with a life partner. These stories of people who love each other and those who support such loving relationships offer a powerful testimonial in support of equal marriage.

To call attention to the impact of this unjust war, NOW Executive Vice President Olga Vives and I are joining the CODEPINK "Troops Home Fast" hunger strike on July 4, to support the U.S. troops who remain in danger in Iraq as well as those who are standing up for peace by refusing to fight.
