I've just bought another 2.5kg box of this stuff; didn't use my last batch properly I don't believe. Anyone else using any kind of supplements, if so please state below. Also, pros and cons of such supplements and why it does/doesn't work for you is also relevant.
I'm sticking to a 3-day-split and making sure I maintain my calorie intake, however, it's not all clean. My diet varies a lot day to day.
As a general rule, I hate protein supplements and supplements of most kinds. I work out 3-4 times a week and I get easily enough protein in my diet.
ReplyDeleteAs for why I don't like them, you can't really give one reason for every brand/type. For example, I know many protein supplements do damage to your skin. I receive my protein through nuts, eggs, meat and other foods. Good blog - I'll follow along.
I've just started doing some research on different types of supplements as well. Not taking any at the moment. It's good to have a little variety in your diet. I just try to hit my macro's everyday.
ReplyDeleteI don't take supplements but getting the right amount of protein is getting more and more difficult.
ReplyDeletei will never take supplements. sorry :P
ReplyDeleteI take a pre-workout energy supplement and a post workout whey protein mix. Seems to be working well and I am already seeing gains in the weight I can put up and the size of my body.
ReplyDeleteI used to. Buy 'em in bulk (like excessive bulk) if you need motivation to work out. If you store them in Tupperware containers or something similar, it'll keep fresh almost indefinably. Also, dig the rainbow theme. I'm ma make like a stalker and follow you!
ReplyDeletemy favorite supplement so far is BSN no-xplode NT but it was discontinued =(
ReplyDeletethat looks like some kind of cement mix O.o
ReplyDeleteUsed to take supplements, and yes, they did work (Used to take protein shakes 3 times a day). But remember, what you put in, what you get out. More you put in (As in, into your body system i.e. protein), the more you need to get out (Energy wise, so exercise). So you can't take supplements and not do anything, or you'll see the opposite effects. Especially for protein, you'll turn fat if you just burn thru it but don't exercise. Just keep in mind of the word 'equilibrium'.
ReplyDeleteGah, supplements suck because they make you feeel all high like you've done speed or coke
ReplyDeleteRight now i'm using some cheap suplements, just started, if it all works out i might buy this one.
ReplyDeleteGood stuff, followed!
ReplyDeleteLooks liek a good buy man, i got myofusion protein 6.6 pound jug which is about 3kg i think, for only 30 bucks because they misprinted the price on the add =] got it for over half off
ReplyDeleteI won't take supplements either :P
ReplyDeleteI'll stick to eggs and chicken meat!
ReplyDeleteP.S. Awesome background!
I take this stuff, great for putting on a bit of bulk. If your looking to stay lean (3 day splits) you should maybe just look at a whey protein.

ReplyDeleteHey, great blog you have here broseph. Followed, MC-hammer status!
ReplyDeleteInteresting ideas presented here.
ReplyDeleteI once went a whole weak on just Max Muscle products. I lost a a few pounds. This was when Max Muscle was cheaper than all the other supplements.
