11 tubs?!

Kappa · 5 Apr 2010 at 20:31

^^ dude is crazy!

Freefaller · 5 Apr 2010 at 21:04

How much is 11 tubs in Kg?! :eek:

I get through 2.5kg in about 4 months!!

BennyC · 6 Apr 2010 at 10:02

25KG

works out at like £9.60 per KG

A tub (2.27KG) will last me anything from 30-45 days. Unfortunatley my food bill is maxed out on a fairly good diet I get around 180grams of protein a day from proper food but have the appetite of a monster and we all know the benefits of whey pwo.

Freefaller · 6 Apr 2010 at 12:49

I appreciate that you've done your best in terms of diet - that's cool.

It's still a LOT of whey to buy though! What you get through in a month I get through in a more than 1/3rd of a year!

BennyC · 6 Apr 2010 at 13:42

Oh God yeah I agree it's a **** load of whey! but such bulk quantities drive the price down by over £5 per unit!

Hopefully when I've finished uni I can minimalise my supplementation which will probaly seem my food bills peak £80-90!

Same with Vit D, a supplement is NOT the same as natural Vit D that our bodies make when exposed to sunlight. FACT.

I wouldnt put vitamin D into this category, considering many many people get barely any from sun, especially in the UK, supplementation is a good idea. Sure its not the same, but its still worth taking it IMO.

There are far worse things put into our food to worry about that no one knows anyway, and the amount of nutrients in our food also sucks *****!

Which Pharma flavour did you go for? Chocolate Cookie and Banana were the only two I ever tried and both were good.

As for the V-max I'm onto harder stuff now!

Choc cookie is the only way to go

So you tried v-max how did you get on?
Also whats this harder stuff your on?

Good man.

Speed.... I jokes

Just grabbed some Arginine AKG, Citruline Mallate, Taurine, Beta-Alanine & Cafeine. Basically the 'main' ingredients from V-max but their raw forms. This way I can adjust the formula to suit me. If I'm training late I can have less caffeine, or more if I'm feeling drained etc etc.

Still playing around with levels and the likes but a bit of an alternative. Debatable whether it's any better or worse but *should* be cheaper and also have that freedom.

The V-max itself is still an excellent product

search the thread as it's been discussed a few times.

V-Max is a great pump/preworkout, bleeding tub seemed to never end!

Failing that MP's Berry Blast will probaly do it. Got some coming next week so can let you know if it covers it if you like?

ben90 said:
yeah if you wouldnt mind, heard all the hype and want to try it.

thanks!

Chuggin down quite a lot of L-glutamine atm. 3 x 5cc scoops (roughly 10grams) I put half a 5cc scoop of Berry Blast powder in and it masked it completely. Could probaly get away with a lot less too. Brilliant little cover up that Berry Blast, spot on tastes like berries!

50grams was like £4 I think. (5cc scoop is 3grams)

Thanks mayne!

I found some berry blast pulse that i brought ages ago which i forgot about, so i might take a tiny bit of that with it if it only takes a little bit.

My order came today, i also got two samples:
cytonox
pyromx leanburn

Just thought I would let everyone know how the Boditronics Lemonade whey2o tastes.
Just a straight copy + paste from Muscletalk

Had my lemonade this morning after my workout, only mixed with about 250ml water as I had already taken in a lot of liquid through my workout.

Mixed fine but as warned massive foam not a problem though if you leave it for a minute or 2, smell as has been said really quite rough very sulphery but taste was spot on lovely tangy lemon and lime flavour very refreshing.
The smell really wouldnt put me off due to it being spot on in taste.
