Mind if I ask where? Need to buy a bag of whey and like the look of those smart shakers - looks a very good deal.

Ah the protein came from myprotein with almost 40 quid off thanks to my reward points!!

The smart shakers came off the official website. Got the Cutler v2 model and the black v1 for like 30 bops delivered.

Someone was saying you can get 6kg of whey for 50 quid delivered off discountsupplements.co.uk, but i've no idea as to the quality cos i haven't got looking yet.

I received my protein email to say they had lowered prices again.

As alternative to the smart shaker look in baby section of boots where they sell similar containers for baby powder formula

Disko biscuits · 13-09-2011 11:50pm

Tried jack3d and nothing happened, yes I did it on an empty stomach, shaked d container and up the scoops..

was wondering has anyone else had this problem and is there a better PWO suppliment that is better?

hsbc · 15-09-2011 9:31am

Hi - apologies if this has been asked already.

Just about to order more protein. I have been buying the 10lb ON GS for the last couple of years and found it real good. But looking on fitnessireland they are selling the Kinetica whey for e13 cheaper.

I know the fat content is higher in Kinetica but e13 is e13!

Anyone recommend Kinetica??

boomtown84 · 15-09-2011 9:49am

it's what i've been using for the last few months.tastes great.only problem is that it mixes terribly with milk...use water and it's grand.

Carberry were kinda enough to send me some samples of Kinetica Whey and Complete. I got 4 samples of whey - chocolate, mint choc, banoffee and vanilla. The complete was strawberry and choc.

I tried the choc whey yesterday and it tastes better then ON, mixes well and no gut issues. I tried the strawberry complete today and it mixes well and tastes good for an all-in-one. Has a bit of an after taste from the Glutamine but its fine.

You can get a bag of Kinetica why from universalnutrition.ie for €75. Dunno if I'd buy them over MyProtein considering cost. It'd come down to MP messing up an order or DPD messing around with deliveries.

shocksy · 15-09-2011 1:59pm

Is it ok to dump a portion of protein over ready brek/porridge in the mornings, then just mix it in, would rather mix it with something, than drink it normally, once a day after my workout is enough of that, so just wondering will the protein still absorb ok mixed with the above???? Thanks

I was the same as this. Its just one of those PWO's that doesn't work (everyone has one). In place of Jack3d id say try 1MR, Muscle Pharm Assault or Dorian Yates Noxpump. They'll all work out better value too

Cheers man, nothing more annoying than spending money on this product and it having no effect on ya.

dont suppose anyone wants to swap me?

john_cappa · 15-09-2011 8:43pm

did you take 3 scoops?

What effect are you after?

deadlybuzzman · 15-09-2011 8:49pm

on the subject of jack3d-I told a guy that can get tested that I thought remembered reading that 1 of the ingredients is on the WADA banned list.
Was I right or did I give him a sh1t attack for nothing?

The 1 3-dimethylamylamine ingredient is WADA banned iirc.

Hanley · 16-09-2011 9:50am

Can we get some perspective on this?

-In what concentration is it banned?
-How much would one have to take, and for what period of time, to risk a positive test?
-What is the half life like of the compound?
-Is it banned in competition only, or is it all prohibited OOC??

I spent years being drug tested, just cos something is on the banned list doesn't mean you can't take it... (that actually sounds really bad, but you know what I mean).

Mellor · 16-09-2011 4:05pm

In addition to comments above.
Banned doesn't mean dangerous or harmful.
Vicks nasal inhaler has a ingredient on the banned list. Lots of other over the counter meds have have banned ingredients in certain doses.
Banned by WADA sounds a lot worse than it is

Listed as a "specified stimulant" so you may be able to explain it

Less severe ban, if any. Generally cos it's something that COULD be legitimately ingested accidentally. It's usually stimulants that fall into that class.

Hey lads, was hoping get some advice bout supplements...

Was putting on bita weight bout year ago (not much at all) n finally got back to gym n got it off me.

But now I'm hoping to get in shape more. I'd like to bulk up a bit but not alot. Have recently bought some high-protein powders (promax - high protein, low fats n carbs) to help build some definition.

I am wondering if just a high protein shake is enough. But I seriously dont wanna put on huge muscle mass either!
I avoided shakes that contain proteins, fats and carbs as the last thing I wanna do it put the fat back on..

So I guess I'm asking is a shake of mixed proteins, carbs and fats likely to make you fat if you cant exercise as regular as you like?? I only manage to get to the gym 2-3 times a week.

Also, is the maximuscle brand just an expensive supplement coz they have the publicity or are they better than the rest?? they worth the money?
