They are pills and the labels say a serving is 5 pills, or 3.5g, so 5 servings is 17.5g. <br> <br> Also, if I start tomorrow, I will load tomorrow. Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.. and then maintain starting Monday. The quesions I have is: should I still load on the weekends, even though&nbsp; I will not train then? <br> <br> Also what side effects to loading are there? <br> http://www.discussbodybuilding.com/fb.ashx?m=189999Tue, 10 Oct 2006 15:11:37 GMT
