Thinking of getting some mhp dark matter for pwo, and maybe wome gaspari superpump for pre. 5h97/-5#?
Been thinking of getting sone vasotropib purely for the pump, aswell

I dunno, I just use nescafe regular stuff. Seems to mix ok. I don't mind the taste much, but I'm a big coffee drinker. There's a canteen next to my gym and I regularly bring hot cups of coffee into the gym.
Non-coffee drinkers that have tried my shakes do not like them.

How would whey and oats be PWO?, im guessing oats take a while to digest aswell, so better off with just whey pwo if thats all you have?
Oats are medium release carbs so indeed not suited post workout, at least not on their own.
As for that CNP stuff, I think is ridiculously expensive for what's essentially whey, dextrose and maltodextrin. You can make that on your own for a fraction of the price and add some glutamine as well while you're there.
O_O
How is it ridiculously expensive?
£50 for 3 months worth, well more than that if you only use it 3/4 times a week. Yet £26 for Recovery XS which lasts a month, so in 3 months you've spent £78?
Remember 5kg of Whey alone would be about £40-45
It's actually pretty cheap

Running out of my Recovery XS too, so looking at alternatives. Would I be better with the pre-made stuff (like Recovery XS or CNP Pro) or mix my own.
What are the 'main' ingedients in a PWO to help with the absorbtion of whey?
dextrose and/or maltodextrin.
I personally mix my own; I buy whey isolate that i mix with different things depending on the time of day.
Any major difference you can see for using isolate over impact? Just curious
I did it purely for digestive reasons. I gave up dairy and the isolate has less lactose in it.
It does have a higher protein content and less carbs/fat than the concentrate too but i suppose it depends how carried away you get with the small details as to whether that's important to you.

Are you kidding Deception?
I saw the dextrose and/or maltodextrin posts
. I was just wondering was there anything else. They aren't mentioned in Recovery XS list of ingredients. So, was basically looking for the key ingredients as apposed to the list of stuff they dump in it (if I was to mix my own). Speaking of lsit of ingredients.. FF, how is the mix you made up, coming along.
