RAINCITY at checkout = 10% off. I love Bioedge because they bring back some of the classic bodybuilding supplements I used to love - like a good pre-workout - but without all the hemodilators (pump) which actually interferes with a more functional style of training.

    These days Rebecca and I use the greens product daily, and the whey protein pretty regularly in our shakes etc.

    I also love their hydration drinks, and I used to love the pre-workouts but that's just not my thing anymore - though I still recommend if you're somone that needs/wants that pre-workout boost! The hydration amino are essentially the same as the pre-workout just without the caffeine / stimulants :)

    TRANSPARENCY

    • Though the products are totally safe and can work for some, I personally do not recommend my clients towards any type of supplement testosterone booster, or fat burner.

    • If you use the link to buy or RAINCITY at checkout you'll get 10% off and I make a 10% commission
