I'd even go so far as to say creatine is better than any type of whey/protein.

edit: but you dont need it. if you can get your required p intake from food, then you dont need protein powder.

yup, i think creatine is no doubt better than protein powder. but id rather have someone starting off with supps to get protein powder instead of creatine. Creatine wont make you grow, protein powder will. After they know how much they need (to grow) and if they can get it from food, then they can ditch the protein.

i was thinking the same thing,how can cold water damage your kidney?that is beyond broscience....anyway?is it normal to lose some strengh when u go off creatine?

Guys, on whey protein, do I need to take it daily or only after I workout? Depends if you've hit your daily protein goals for the day from whole foods or not.

Actually, do you guys take creatine and whey protein together each time you workout? Doesn't matter when you take it.

I'm almost there, but I don't know when to take. Any recommendations? Can share your schedule? Thanks.

Care to explain? Never heard that getting more than optimal protein intake can have diminishing effects. As I know, most bodybuilders go for at least 1g/lb bodyweight which is already more than optimal, just to be safe (sometimes it's hard to accurately measure protein intake, especially from meat sources). Also, people on a cut tend to take in even more protein due to the higher TDEE. Unless you mean excessive protein intakes (4-5g/lb bodyweight?), in which case I have no idea what are the effects on health.

If I'm not mistaken, optimal protein intake for muscle growth is 0.82g per lb of LEAN muscle mass. Darklight's intake of 120gm per day is actually pretty optimal (assuming 71kg body weight @ 9% bf)

Hey guys, I will be transferring to the UK next month to complete my studies and I am wondering if anyone here knows where can I get cheap supplements (not that particular about the brands) while I am there.

Thanks!

The Vanilla Almond taste heaven 

And the powder is really fine, that's true.

You could probably sniff it up too 

if combos like this, worth it ka?

IM a vegetarian, and looking to get some proper protein in. other proteins have substance of eggs and what not in it. if im not mistaken it has pretty high amount of amino acids in it..which is what we want at the end of the day..

rice protein is also an enhancer of insulin sensitivity and also helps reduce  cholesterol..

quite a lot of brands of protein blend contain egg albumin.

chief, any idea why On platinum so expensive?

Just bought universal ultra whey pro (cookies and crean) from musclemaniaclub. The powder is bland, even when mixed with milk, and tasted abit sour for me. Not sure if it's the product itself or the whey has gone bad. It was sealed, and expiry is in 2016.

You go try unflavoured leucine, then get back to me.

Hey guise,

am wondering if anyone has  tried GAT Nitraflex before, and how does it fare?

reviews online are too polarizing and confusing, with some peeps saying that it worked very well for them while others claim that it was horrible, gave them heart palpitations etc.

or a supplement that helps boost testostrone, promotes weight loss and boosts workout energy? hmmm
