Hello, and thank you for visiting DynamicDrummer.com. My name is Will and I play drums for the rock band Sighlo. I have created this site to help answer many of the questions I have been asked regarding what I use to look the way I do. What do I know you may ask? Well, I have competed in five bodybuilding shows, and have won first place in two of them. I have been in Flex magazine and NPC report along with a profile at repetrope.com. I have a bachelor’s degree in pharmaceutical sciences from The Ohio State University, and I am currently in my third year of graduate school, also at The Ohio State University. Upon completion of this program, I will obtain my PharmD degree and have the opportunity to be licensed as a registered pharmacist. I have experience in biochemistry, physiology, medicinal chemistry, anatomy, pharmacology, pharmaceutics, and several other fields that I am able to use to help guide my pursuit of an impressive physique. Who cares though, right? You want to know what I use.

Working out heavy and playing drums are not compatible activities, but both are passions of mine. Over the years I have worked hard to keep my body in shape, both physically and musically. Whole foods are, of course, incredibly important in helping someone reach his or her physique goals. It is important to get plenty of protein, carbohydrates, and healthy fats from one’s food choices. However it is also very difficult to meet these requirements only with food found at the grocery store. This is where supplements come into the equation. There are a variety of supplements to choose from, so I will highlight my “big three”.

There are so many choices out there when it comes to supplements; people often ask me what they should use. I always say, buy something of high quality and production that also offers a low price and constant availability to keep you stocked. Even I have bought from many places over the years trying to settle on one company. Well my search is over. I am proud to say I have teamed up with Muscle Dynamics and now exclusively use their supplements. I have one thing to say: Wow! Not only are the prices low but the quality is top notch, the proteins taste fantastic, and I know the people behind the products truly care about their customers’ goals. So you ask, what do I use? Well here we go.

One of the most common questions is how do I keep my body fat low. I’m not going to lie, there is no magic bullet, but there are supplements that greatly enhance my ability to maintain energy when the calories are low. Everybody knows about ephedra, caffeine, and synephrine among other popular compounds. Not only are these restricted to the healthy, (ie. People who do not have high blood pressure or other cardiac problems), but the effects are not long lasting. While these supplements do work and even I use them on occasion, they are not effective for consistent use. So I searched for a supplement I can take on a daily basis that will help keep my energy up. And let me tell you, to play drums for 45 minutes the way I do, you need A LOT of energy. I finally discovered X-Cell-R8 and am very excited. Since I began using it, I have had increased energy, even on those really late nights where our show doesn’t start until midnight. This product is for all of you out there who are trying to strip the calories and are feeling the effects.

What is the most important thing when it comes to building and maintaining muscle? That is easy, protein protein protein. I myself get at least 2 grams per pound of bodyweight daily (Approximately 370 - 450 grams each day). No way am I going to get that from whole foods. Not only would it be expensive, but it would be hard to consume that much food. Trust me, I have tried. Protein powder is possibly the most crucial part of my supplement arsenal. I myself prefer to eat three whole food meals, and three protein shakes per day. All I have to do is throw 2 scoops of Athletic Boosters Supercharged Whey Protein into a cup, add water, stir, and drink. This provides me with 40g of quality whey protein and keeps my muscles from feeding on themselves. This product is especially helpful as a pre-concert meal when I don’t want to eat something dense in calories that would fill me up and make me sluggish. If you are going to start off with just one supplement, this is the way to go. Just start by replacing one meal a day with Athletic Boosters Supercharged Whey Protein and I promise you will see positive changes in your physique.

And finally, everyone should take a multivitamin. Your regular store bought vitamin is better than nothing, but does not truly provide you with all the ingredients that science has proven beneficial to health. Maxi-Charge 2000 is a high quality, high potency multivitamin that provides you with everything you will need to keep your energy high. One great concern for someone who eats “clean”, such as myself, is that we don’t get a wide variety of foods. By taking Maxi-Charge 2000, I can provide my body with all the micronutrients I need to stay healthy and strong.

So there you have it. X-Cell-R8, Athletic Boosters Supercharged Whey Protein, and Maxi-Charge 2000 are the “big three” products that create the foundation of my supplementation. I will feature more products in the future but in the mean time, feel free to e-mail me with questions and I will get back with you as soon as I can.
