Protein Powder: Need help

[TheMoneyShot]

Rudy - If you're looking to put on some size. Or keep your calorie intake medium to high. Look into Fresh Raw Almonds. You can purchase heavy bulk at Ebay and even Walmart usually prices it around $7.40 a lb. Sounds very expensive. But has great value.

It actually puts on more size than I wanted... that's why I stopped using it. I like to try to be as cut as possible with around medium to low size.

Schwarzenegger use to put 3-4 almonds in his protein shakes ever so often.

I eat mini chocolate donuts like John Belushi did when he won a gold medal in the decathlon.

[RudyRuetigger]

Moneyshot....thanks chief, but that's too much fat for me.

I have this problem where I wake in the middle of the night for a snack. its basically where I consume 50% of my fats for the day so plan accordingly

I know chocolate milk is one of the best things for athletes

Colorado based.

I'm patiently waiting for my chance to bulk. Was on a cut most of last year from 240 down to 180. Am probably around 185 right now at 5'11 so I'm planning on getting down closer to 170-175 before I bulk up. I can't wait though. Have multiple meal plans picked out with macros already set. Ever watch Big on a Budget? Very entertaining to watch those guys buy $80 worth of meat and $20 worth of carbs and be like "alright my diet's done"

I hear you man. It sucks waking up with hunger pains. Usually protein shakes make me even more hungry. I think it has something to do with glucose spikes? It sucks trying to lose weight.

I know it sounds gay.... but why not try air popped popcorn with nothing on it?

My protein whey isolate. Wait for a sale.

Protein powders are a hoax and as overrated as sports drinks.

Eat a healthy nutritious diet, and plenty of it. BY FAR the best approach... but I know gym rats don't want to hear that

It's just protein, what's the hoax? You don't have to be a gym rat to eat or drink protein.

after checking EVERYTHING out, went with ON whey mocha cappuccino (high rating everywhere, and not much of a coffee taste apparently)..got 5lbs for 47.99free shipping

lol, fat doesnt turn to fat, excess calories do and in some cases, carbs mixed with protein turn to fat, the carbs turn to fat, not the fat. Some dont gain fat at all, especially people with red or blonde hair, just get sick instead

right now im taking

3 fish oils with omega
2 glucosamine and chondroitin (spelling prolly off, it seems to help my knees...might be a placebo but i think it works)
2bcaa pills pre workout
2 scoops bcaas post workout
scoop of creatine preworkout
multivitamin

my shake is 2 scoops whey, nonfat greek yogurt, 1 serving frozen fruit, 8oz water

anything else i need for performance?

These are all fairly cheap OTC products:

DHEA (its on the USADA banned list for a reason) 50mg/2x day
L-Lysine - 500mg/2x day
Testosterone Booster - I use SixStar (cheap) 60ct bottle is $9.99 @ Walgreens if you have a members card. $19.99 if not a member

Sounds like a good mix ...

good thread, think i need to up my protien intake as well.. but a good whey, some greek yougurt, a fruit, maybe a mix of milk & water ... sounds like a good supplement shake.

DHEA - ive heard of, but prolly never had and I hope not since its prolly banned for me
Testosterone--ive heard only kind that works is injection?? im sure if this booster does work its illegal too

[RudyRuetigger]

tried it with water, kale/spinach, fruit salad blend, light chocolate syrup

ofcourse tasted like shit

will try with milk tomorrow but its gonna be too much of a coffee taste I think

[reedy]

Do you live in the US?

If you really think you need test just go to your doctor and ask. Its easy to get a scrip for.

If possible, buy bulk 100% whey protein (NOT from a store like GNC because they put a lot of fillers in). If you get 100% whey protein you will know because it tastes like absolute azzhole.

I get 100% whey protein from a local cheese plant (yes I live in Wisconsin) and blend it with milk and oreos.

Sweeper... tested almost everything offered OTC. You're better off spending your money on chicken breast and tuna fish. DHEA will cause significant hair loss. You will notice hair falling out here and there.

Test Boosters... OTC.... they claim to give you "natural" test.... and again... will cause hair loss. And you won't get the Test you need for body building.

Rudy read the post below.

This is the only thing that will work. There area a few credible websites that will sell high grade test.... at around 70% off USA pricing. I never used Test before... thinking about it... but sort of nervous about hearing some side effects... heart failure... etc.

Stay away from DHEA and testosterone injections. It's not worth potentially sacrificing your health to gain muscle.

Also, avoid any supplements that are going to raise DHT levels unless you don't mind going bald. It's actually not a bad idea to get on a drug like Finasteride prior to undertaking any serious weight training regimen, as weight training is going to increase all forms of testosterone production on its own.

i assume i dont need test??? i dont go to doctors though so who knows

either way im not taking anything like that







milk with the mocha cappuccino tastes pretty excellent. I usually have 2 scoops after workout, but ill have to make 1 scoop with milk my morning drink.

tastes basically like those starbucks mocha cappuccinos in bottles you buy at store and put in refrig

Yea, i went with the gold standard stuff to after seeing a lot of guys having nothing but good to say about it. I went with the vanilla ice cream flavor, taste like vanilla ... tried it with banana, and banana cream Greek yogurt, milk/water (was best) and tried the same with strawberries and strawberry yogurt (was pretty good, need to put in a lot of strawberries though)

but i do like the taste of coffee, might get a small one pound bag or something after you saying it does taste decent ... but you should get the vanilla, can mix with anything... or just have the vanilla which doesn't taste bad at all...

[RudyRuetigger]

I just purchased the ProMixx 2.0 for like $40...pretty expensive for a fukkin cup, but it is the best thing you can have..battery powered shake bottle (charges via usb)...no need to mix in a blender then dump in a cup. no need to shake the cup, have some stuck on the lid and spill on ur fukkin nose as you drink, and none getting wasted on a shaker ball

Worth every penny IMO

I mix the protein I bought with unsweetened almond milk (yes the 30 calorie one)....tastes fukkin amazing and I don't even like the regular almond milk by itself....no clumps at all either

[reedy]

Throw some cinnamon and/or almond butter in there. Tastes like victory.
