Supplements the debate/discussion thread

Yea, I get the very vivid dreams as well :) sometimes it's a pita but the increased energy I've gotten since taken them has been brilliant along with the fact that I had only 1 cold this winter when I had them non stop last year (could be coincidental)

I could probably do without the extra sex drive but what you gonna do? lol

Wow that's a lot a stuff - am I in the minority here? Just fish oil capsules for me and whey maybe a few times a week.

Nope,I just use some whey and fish oils. And depending on how I feel some Vit C and NaRALA as they are both good antioxidants - but I use them as and when I feel the need.

About the only supp I like from that list that i'd recommend using are the Vit B complexes. Good supp (if you go for the right ones!).

Of course glutamine and whey and fish oils are a sensible addition, but the rest I think is a little waste of time, unless of course you're at a the top end of your training potential, diet etc... since I don't know what your training stats are then I can't really comment.

However you've done the same as me, tried a whole bunch of stuff to see how you got on with it. How did you measure it? Did you keep your diet identical every week every time you tried something new? It's hard work isn't it? And boring!! I found I was more or less affected, but in all honesty the biggest differences was the way I ate, when I ate, and the regimen my life followed.

However, if it works for you, then don't let me tell you otherwise! Carry on! I'ts good to see people training hard and trying to sort their diets and training out with as much help from wherever they can get it! :)
 
I'm sending the 10lb bags of Impact Blend I brought from MP in Choc Smooth as it's not a particulary strong flavour. I'm half way through one so will finish that off but I have 2 others so will get £80 back.

I tried some of their 'True Whey' which is actually delicious in Cookies & Cream and have heard good things about the 'Chocolate Orange' tasting exactly like Terrys Choc Orange chocolate, so have ordered some samples.

With a bulk discount when buying 11:eek: tubs it's £22 a tub which makes it £1 more expensive per KG, for better flavouring, 'Rich in BCAA's & Glutamine' and some fancy digestive ezymes. Not sure wether it has added BCAA's but for £1 more per tub can't really argue as flavouring is quite important to me.

They had an offer on when it was 20% off the other week so was the bulk discount price which allowed you to buy lots of different flavours. Unfortunatley the bulk discount only applies to products of the same flavour so I'll have a years supply of the same flavour!

Edit: For anybody wanting 5% off their first order: MP90145

lol, Benny, you buy THAT much? Jeez, economies of scale going on with you or what!

I've had cookies and cream true whey, really nice, MPs true whey product seems to be the only one which holds up to having a good flavour!

I think i might have a try of that SuperPump 250.

Do you guys take it 30mins before a workout as it says, or do you differ?

I liked SP250 mate. Good product and I rate it highest out of the pre workout stuff I've taken (BSD Reloaded and V Max Pump).

I was taking it 15-30 minutes before working out. Only thing I found was it wore off quick and I was taking 3-4 scoops of the stuff towards the end.

Certainly good for a kick. I "stacked" it with SizeOn Creatine as well which I thought was a decent product. The first creatine supplement I've really seen results off BUT both still too expensive to warrant future use together for now.

I've been really disappointed with the MP flavours recently. I picked up the standard chocolate flavour when the 20% offer was on and don't get much from the taste. I also had the choc smooth impact blend before like you and didn't think much of it. On the other hand my brother LOVES it, so I guess its just one of those things.

I've been reading that this is very good protein on UKM and Muscletalk. Might snap that 3 tub offer up. Let us know how it tastes :)

So far I've tried the chocolate and the strawberry and they both taste great, the chocolate is nice and rich without being over the top and the strawberry is a good strong flavour without a chemical after taste.
I just put my order in for 1 of each chocolate, vanilla and raspberry so I'm looking forward to trying them
 
The bog standard whey from MP is the best one to get, they have just lowered their prices as well, one of the 5kg bags will last for well loads of tym.
 
I'd go for the Total Protein XS, if you're getting a good mix of protein through whole foods for your meals, this will supplement it well, I would have thought with its blend, great for before bed too.
 
ah right cheers man,
not sure i want to wack the calories up too much! want to stay as lean as possible :)
wont my body use energy stored as fat to make new tissue as long as i supply the protein?

cheers
 
Yeah thats how your bodies designed to work, providing your eating under what your body needs. Too much though and your body will start to use muscle as well so its important to find the right calorie intake.

Best way to force your body to use fat stores is through the high fat diet, have a read up on it and see if you want to try, im going to bed now though!
 
yeah it's pretty good, its a great all round shake with some flax in it aswell, if there was only 1 protein I was getting I'd get a blend, but at the moment I buy whey for PWO and a blend for other times such as my breakfast shake and before bed.

Some people swear by having pure whey, and others having blends to have slower release proteins. It's hard to 'tell' the difference when in use though, however a blend makes more sense to me.

If you end up getting just 100% whey in the end, I'd go for MP Pure Whey, depending on how bothered you are about it, the taste in the bulk whey like impact varies hugely everytime you get it, as discussed on the last few pages.
 
I think the XS is like 30 servings for for £25 and doesn't have flax seeds in it. The Phd 6HR Blend can be had for £32 (with a bulk discount for 5) which will give you 40 servings and generally looks like a better formula.
 
Myprotein True Whey samples in; Chocolate Orange, Cookies & Cream, Toffee Fudge and Milk Chocolate have just arrived.

Going to try them later with a mate so will feedback on taste/mixability & general sexiness ;)
