7th was originally Steedie's comp date, to which we were going to have a refeed, and get to maximum pump by the time the OcUK meet landed on the 14th

So I'm hoping to have my energy and strength back by the meet!

Refeed days are amazing, you literally spend the day eating. I had to take the day off work just stand by the cooker, then eat, then back to the cooker its awsome. However i come in a little flat if im honest.

Next time it's going to be a lot more honey, bannana and rice cakes.

However, i might try a dirty refeed lots of junk to really fill out.

Got 3 months then got a casting for model management, miny bulk and cut all in one

Monkee for instance would not be where he is at this point in time if he was not doing cardio along side his workout.

He COULD have got there, but it would have taken god knows how much longer

MoNkeE · 2 Jul 2012 at 11:08

Yeah I think I'll stick to structured and clean refeeds however, would only need one say every 8 weeks!

not really expensive protein is is; 38p per serving (90 servings) plus does not contain any "fillers" and it's creapure so yeah!

So against all the advice given that it's a total waste of money, you've bought what must be well over a £100 quids worth of the stuff?

What advice have i been given? I have also made clear from day 1 of training in all my theads i use branded products; i have stuck with branded products throughout. I purchase Dextrose from myprotein and that it... i find their protein - poor.

Was it not ironsicene or someone similar found out to putting in low portions of protein in their products and fulll to the brim with fillers? - ( i could be wrong, but i swear i have read something recently?)

Dj_Jestar · 2 Jul 2012 at 11:35

And everytime you've said you'll "stick to branded stuff" (what does that even mean btw? Everything is branded) you've been told that the brands you have chosen are a waste of money average protein with fancy packaging designed to lure in the suggestible types

Whatever floats your boat, but it's a bit daft (imo) to be bragging about your latest delivery of stuff that you've been told is a waste of money

MoNkeE · 2 Jul 2012 at 11:37

But dude, it comes with a grenade! BOOM.

Steedie · 2 Jul 2012 at 11:39

Reflex :X

Well known to use the cheapest source of protein (crushed up animal bone cartilage etc) in their products. Horrible supplement company, ridiculous prices for inferior quality

IS protein was found to be fine.

Protein is protein at the end of the day, the branded stuff just tastes better.

What "fillers" are we talking about here?

If you mean protein content please tell me how you know your expensive branded stuff has a more reliable protein content than MP? For all you know it could be lower.

In reality we don't know the protein content for any protein is accurate because there is no third party lab testing them all.

Either way its twice as expensive as MP stuff and i'm sure the flavoured ones will taste no difference.

See the link above, IS was tested by a third party and checked out fine.

I'll believe it when i see somewhere testing more than one brand. That's just as good as gaspari getting their own tests done after the reddit thing imo. I'm not saying they are underdosed, just that it's not really possible to tell unless somewhere tests a bunch of them.
