Stating that your body will benefit from nutrients consumed up to 24hrs after a workout isn't answering the yes/no question of "should I take my supplement straight after a work out"... and forgive me for not willing to trawl through the plethora of "brah" and "mirin" posts for your scientific explanations moody.

I answered. I said it wasn't necessary to eat straight away after a workout. I thought it was pretty straightforward.

I'm not one of the "brah" brigade

I'm not moody, just straight to the point. ****

Since I started using dextrose in my pwo shake I've seen my gainz come on leaps and bounds.

not srs

Although I use it regardless, just because.

EDIT: who's used the myprotein empty tubs? And what size did they get? Be nice to get most of a 5kg bag in one...The bags splitting get to me after a while

Since adding 200g of dextrose to my PWO shake I've lost 3-4 kg of fat.

I got the 4000 tubs, they hold about 2kg ish each but arnt to massive to store so can be tidied away nicely

Just adding to the point that getting hung up over small details is missing the point. Cherry picking parts from someone else's diet or supplement protocol can be extremely misleading.

Looks like I need to get more dextrose and double my dose!

In the meantime I'm having hell of a bother with MP. Still haven't dispatched my fish oils which have been going in and out of stock, ordered them on the 1st and they were in stock! Tried phoning on Friday afternoon and gave up after 15+ mins on hold... Sent a ticket on Sunday which should have been replied to in 1 working day. I then tried phoning on Monday afternoon and gave up after 20+ mins on hold!! I'm sick of it and when I get through I'll be canceling it and telling them I'm not using them again.

Anybody know where you can pick up Omega 3 with a similar EPA/DHA content as the Supers which MP sell?

5kg bag = x2 of the big tubs and x1 medium one. I have 2 big, 2 small atm - 3 for whey and 1 for creatine. Will probs get more when I start clean bulking as I'll want to add dem oats.

Complain on their Facebook or Twitter, they're much quicker to pull their finger out of their arses when it's public.

Does anyone know whether Elite Nutrition's ultimate stack is still purchasable anywhere?

BSD's Super Omega 3s are among the best out there with really good ratios.

BSD112 if you're interested.

Hmm, I've got a 4L tub turning up tomorrow with a 5kg bag, should be interesting to see how much fits. To be honest, even if I just seal and reseal the bag a few times and then normally go out of the tub I'll be happy.

SK Sports (Vyomax) High Protein Flapjacks

Yes. I was sad enough to work it out.

Cristian · 15 Jan 2013 at 11:12

^loads of carbs and fats, you're better off with mars bars than those and at least they taste good.

Tee CNP Flapjacks are pretty lame as well, nowhere near as good as myprotein's cookies (both taste and nutritional content wise). I've been struggling to get through a box for ages.

Anyone have an idea about what the best way is to mix some powders? I bought some Citruline Malate, Beta alanine, Arginine and creatine a while ago and scooping them all and putting them on a scale takes a while and does not look dodgy at all before every workout haha.

Delvis · 15 Jan 2013 at 11:14

Short of randomly shaking a tub theres no easy way I don't think. That or buy a few small containers and make some batches every weekend for the week ahead.
