Supplements the debate/discussion thread

Thats not what I meant skill =P I have no idea what it means tho as I said I only bought it because of the high protein content (42g per 50g serving) and the cheap price. Just asking what does anabolic mean? Like a mixture of BCAA's or somthing?

Anabolic is the antonym of catabolic (muscle/tissue breakdown).

So what they're trying to sell you is something that help to grown muscles.

Technically it's true, however the products are not themselves anabolic, however, when your body is in an anabolic state (from exercise) taking those supplements may help enhance your body's function.

In other words, it's a lot of hot air.
 
I seem to have become Maximuscles puppet due to the rain forrests competitive pricing.

I have the RTD Strawberry Maxi Milk, the ProMax meal bars and have just bought the Maxifuel electro tabs. I'm not looking to bulk in anyway, I'm purely exercising to lose weight and get fitter but wanting to keep what mass I already have, and so far so good!

Really enjoy the taste of the Strawberry milk, the chocolate isn't the best.

How much did you pay for them?

I guess if you get them at a good price they can be ok but I seriously find that RTD and meal bar products to cost far too much for what you get.

I understand they're easy to carry around and what not but I'd rather take my shaker with me to the gym with some powder in and then have that.

They work out at just over £1 each, so they are a little on the pricey side compared to shaking my own, however I've cut out drinking fizzy drinks and stick to water so that's saving me over £3 a day. I just love the convenience of them.

Is that aimed at me or just a general intro for everyone? I've used myprotein before, still have some chocolate smooth isolate to use up too.

Sorry, forgot to quote you. Ah right, how come you switched?

I'm lazy and wanted the convenience of something ready to drink, the Myprotein ready to drink has higher calories, fat and sugar than the Maxi Milk and is more expensive, it does have 8g more protein though but 30g is enough for me from one shake as I'm exercising to drop fat not gain mass.

Quite technical =P but Im not worried about maximum engery/performance from products like this all im wanting is a half decent source of protein at a cheap price as don't have the cash to buy in bulk from MP at the moment. Really need to start reading up more on the science behind training :(
 
myprotein is awesome, been using them for the last 18 months or so. Brilliant service and never a single problem.

A decent offer on Impact whey at the moment, check it out :)
 
Yeah but it would still end up near/more than the matrix stuff and its unflavoured :( I've already bought this stuff and im just going to have to use it!
 
Use it by all means :)

Keep a look out mate, myprotein is one of the best places really. I've been using them for about 2/3 years now on and off and never had any major issues. Again, keep a look out for offers / deals, there are other sites which i'm sure others can recommend, I've just never personally gone elsewhere at the moment.
 
I have been using MP from when I started but just seems to expencive atm :(. Just took delivery of this stuff and it looks ok




Crappy Iphone camera :(

Strawberry tastes not bad but not as good as MP :)

Yeah imageshack keep wanting me to sign up again and again so I used a different one but don't know how to do it :-/ Give me a min...
 
Ok guys, so I took the plunge for lolgainsz and received a batch of creatine from MP a few days ago, I loaded about 5g with my morning whey shake, around 2 hours later I was feeling seriously ill, like a mix of wanting to puke and dehydration, I'm not talking upset an tummy, I'm talking evacuate bowels-16 cans of special brew sort of ill.

I've had a quick google and it seems a few people have had this sort of thing happen to them, but usually when dosing in high amounts, I'm thinking of starting again with maybe 1/2g mixed with shake and some carbs/sugars. Suggestions?
 
Try just using 2-3g when first using it as to much does make you feel sick but you have to make sure you are drinking plenty of water while taking it.
