You thinking it's not mixed very well and something foul has settled to the bottom?

I have never noticed anything. But I have had issues with Quake so it's not unimaginable.

I find that a lot of the flavour is in the top 3/4 of the drink. It's like drinking a beer maybe, even though the top tastes the same as the bottom you are just sick of the taste and notice that it isn't that great.

Good legwork Graeme, very strong.

Is the throwing up becouse of the supplements or the effort? Either way its rock n roll.

All sets were done with a minute rest, 5 minute break for hamstrings. This was by far one of the most difficult workouts of my life. I had to push myself farther mentally and physically than I was used to, definitely out of my comfort zone. For leg extensions I did my money set, and then I lifted the weight with both legs and lowered it with one leg. It was difficult to find a failure point for this. The rest is history, was difficult to make myself believe that I could do what I did. I am very proud of this workout as a whole.

After workout I went with my friend Rosey to Tim Horton's (Canadian Starbucks). She got me a bagel and a "real fruit smoothie"... For those familiar with Dragon Ball Z, my first sip of the smoothie was like a Sensu Bean... Just took that and the life came back to me and I felt great. lol

A combination of both, the effort weakened my stomach and then the acidity or whatever just upset my stomach too much.
