Product Review: VPX Redline thermogenic fat burner

Due to my being brain-dead as I'm three weeks out from my contest, I forgot to post here and let you all know that we'll be back as scheduled this coming weekend.   With Liz being out of town, we couldn't get a decent show together in time and didn't wanna do it half-heartedly - so we skipped this weekend. 

The only other weekend we won't have a show in the near future will be the weekend of March 3rd & 4th as I'll be in Columbus, OH competing in the Arnold Classic.

Stay tuned!
