The below program is a a great body strength and size protocol that Enhanced Athlete Craig Golias uses developed by Trevor Kouritzin, CSO of Enhanced Labs.
The protocol was built to maximize size and strength at the same time while being taken with very specific Enhanced Labs products, specifically mass gainers.
The most effective mass gainers for athletes with already elevated androgenic potential in the Enhanced Labs lineup are:
- Arachidonic Acid – A fatty acid found in red meat that skyrockets muscle-specific inflammation during and after the workout. More inflammation means more potential for growth
- Carb-Tech – a during workout drink with Creatine and no sugar to improve blood flow, vascularity, and mass gains
- Anabolic IV – the 2020 Generation Iron Muscle Gainer Supplement of the Year. A BCAA + EAA powerhouse that gives your body the micronutrients it needs to repair those torn muscles into bigger, leaner, stronger masses.
The Dosing for the below protocol is:
- 4 Arachidonic Acids 1 hour before Workout
- 2 Scoops Carb Tech during the Workout
- 2 Scoops Anabolic IV within 2 hours of Workout Completion

This protocol will seriously help put on size and strength, once paired with Arachidonic Acid which has been starting to be reviewed by many scientific journals, one example is a recent post from the Journal of Advanced Research on ARA here.
Pairing the inflammation based muscle building boost of ARA with other more known supplements like Creatine and EAA/BCAA complexes greatly improves results for both new best marks on one rep maxes and size gains.
