Hey...

Question (I'm new in the gym section so be gentle with me! ).

I'm doing weights, running and the like - and try to eat protein such as lean chicken, fish (such as for example salmon) as well as have a healthy diet in general.

I'm considering ordering something like maxi-muscle (promax or something) for extra protein... but after doing a bit of research, though whey protein seems good, many in the body building / sports areas don't really seem to rate it (claiming that it's over priced and there are better products).

Anyone offer any suggestions, as I was looking at it mostly for the whey protein / muscle repair, or is this completely pointless?

I just order Impact Whey from myprotein, people here have used it, i've not got any gripes with it.

I'm using it due to not being able to afford enough protein foods i'd like, and for now this is cheaper...Yes food is 'better' but untill I earn more money it'll have to do

Yep...Well, I think I have the 2.5kg one, and the bag is bigger than a size of A4, but naturally a lot wider if that makes sense?. Depends how often you use it really, every day? Or only after workout etc?

I'd probably use it mostly after workouts, but maybe on the occasional "off days" so possibly like 5 days a week.

I'm basically trying to figure how many serving it is. Maximuscle stuff seems to be like 30 servings for the larger tubs, which is basically, zip for the price!

 

[Delvis]

Oh okay, you'll get way more than 30 in the 2.5kg one easily really.

At the end of the day, its a tenner I think? The protein amount on it is reasonably good, even on the flavoured ones (I use the strawberry one, just because really ) And a bag lasts ages.

Give it a shot

Okay, thanks a lot.

I'll give it a shot. Better than paying 500000x times the price with maximuscle.

Exactly, and if it does what it says on the....errr.....packet? Then it's decent stuff regarding protein content

You'll need a measuring spoon though if you haven't got one!

Pah, 5kg is where it's at!

Was going to, but figured I'd see how I done with it first. I'm okay and like it and feel the results are good, I'll get the larger one!

 

[Skull]

What flavour did you get?

I always went for unflavoured because it was cheaper, but I'd end up putting crap (i.e. nesquik) in it to make it taste decent, so this time I went for chocolate - it smells absolutely amazing, a really rich cocoa scent. It tastes great, though not as much as the smell leads you to believe.

 

[shifty_uk]

I just drink the unflavoured straight Can't beat it for £15

 

[UltimateBadger]

I wish they did the chocolate mint flavour that they use in their MRP shakes (which are great by the way) Some of myproteins flavours are rank if you ask me - too sweet!
I just buy unflavoured and mix it with nesquik.

 

[Skull]

You can get chocolate mint these days; I didn't get it as I worried it might be gross.

 

[Dark_Angel]

I just got the unflavoured.

I figured it'd be down the hatch in about 3 seconds flat, plus I might mix it with milk and banana's for example.

Excellent! They never used to do it.

Well once I've pounded my way through 5kg of chocolate I'll get the mint and see!

Had a knackering session, left the tricep dips for when they get better, but skullcrushers along with pulldowns gave them a ruddy good hammering.

Also enjoyed alternating db incline raises, and lat raises, love it.
