Ralph,
Give mr Omega and his lipoflame a try first.... if you are going to be supplementing lifting into your progam.... then try the "Lipostack." Great products... From experience, I feel the same type of boost from Lipoflame that Ephedra gave me, without the nasty sides..
just go back through the threads and look at all the lipoflame and omega appreciation threads.... he wouldnt steer you wrong!
