Protein shakes are a supplement, not a substitute for real food.

If you can eat your macros in real food, that should always be the first choice. You can make great gains by eating right without supplementing with protein, but you're gonna run into a brick wall if you chug protein all day without proper food.

Besides, I'm pretty sure drinking all your 'food' would lead to hemorrhoids (or at least that's what I've heard).

Sometimes, eating all that food can seem daunting, but I find that looking at those pics of darklight eating gets my appetite way up ahaha.

Cheers

God.

This man has spared my wallet from a lot of grief.

New to stims?

Curious about this too haha.

Saw a thread selling dat dere cell-tech.

But none selling milk thistle. Irresponsible much? (genuine question, not too sure if milk thistle is necessary with oral roids)

Saw dbol and test in a few threads.

The celltech is strong

Dymatize Elite Whey is my favourite protein. Good profile and great taste, imo.

If you don't like it, I'll be happy to buy the remainder of your tub (at a reasonable price)

Buy whichever you prefer.

I've heard a lot of good things about the old Myofusion, but the current 'Probiotic' one seems to get a fair bit of hate.

LYN dealers. No specific dealer, I'll buy it from anyone who can COD at the right place and the right time and give me a 5lb tub for less than RM200.

Might be contaminated by now.

Send me the tub, I'll help you check. If you don't get it back, it's contaminated.

Protein is protein, get whichever one you can get at a better price.

In this case, the Nutrex protein has 5lbs at RM168, so unless it tastes godawful, get that.

Muscletech products don't suck, they're just overpriced.

Check the food market, A LOT of people selling OT.

All of them have BCAAs in them, but you could get BCAAs separately for faster recovery.

Honestly, if you can eat your macros daily, screw protein powders, just buy BCAAs.

Sounds like you don't need gainers. You need...


Wait for it...



WHOLE FOOD

Look at all the fat people you know, do you see any of them chugging weight gainers?

You can get by on 1g per lb of bodyweight easily.

If you're busy with work, prepare your food ahead of time. Boil a few eggs and grill a few chicken breasts before you go to bed and put them in containers. If you have to eat out, buy a double/triple portion. If you are not financially stable, I can sympathize, but you obviously aren't.

As the guy before me said, how're you gonna grow once your macros go up? Too many liquid meals and you'll get hemorrhoids.

Well, cheers for not trying to cuss me into oblivion haha

Mass gainers do have their place, but don't use them as a crutch. If you can't eat a surplus of calories, just aim for maintenance and use the gainer solely for the surplus calories.

Whole foods are harder to down, but they'll also contribute to your micro nutrient intake.

If you must have liquid meals, just get a tub of ordinary protein powder and a few bags of oats. Blend them together, and you have a gainer shake, but much cheaper and healthier.

Peace

I've only heard nasty things about the taste of Modern BCAA and the new Lemon-Lime Xtend tastes a lot like Gatorade.

Also, have you considered Dymatize Recoup? I don't use it personally, but it retails around the same price as Xtend, but Dymatize uses Ajipure BCAAs. Insignificant, I know, but when the pricing is close, why not?
