Well Musclehead..
1- Welcome to DB
2- This is the fastest way I've personally found to pack on muscle fast. I've done it.
8 months is a fair amount of time. Dunno about packing on tons of muscle and losing weight but if I had to do it, I'd try this program hands down. Since you don't have a lot of time to shoot the breeze, I'm just gonna pitch it.
