Hi, not sure if I'm in the right place. I'm just wondering if anybody has tried Jim stoppani 12 week shortcut to muscle and size.

Lads, I was wondering if anyone has seen the Isopure zero carb drink for sale in Ireland or if you can buy it online?
I don't want the powder as I struggle to keep down the shakes.
Thanks.

I ordered some unflavoured whey isolate 90 and BCAA last week through BulkPowders.ie and found their selection and prices very competitive. (They're running a 15% sale at present) Postage included for orders in excess of €60.

If registering and ordering use referral code: ATTVKB and you'll get €5 off your first order over €15.

Probably better to start your own thread for this as it's not supplement related!

However since you asked I've used that program and his "shortcut to shred" program" on and off over the last few years with good results.

Shortcut to size definitely helped! I was out of action for quite a while after injuring my wrist and that program helped me to build my strength up quick and I ended up beating most of my personal 1 rep max on most exercises by the end of it.

Hi Folks got plenty of good advice here on supplements but think I need to change the brands.

I bought Holland and Barrett zinc capsules and magnesium capsules.

The zinc gives me terrible lower abdomen pain and plenty of toilet trips.

Anyone else suffer like this trying to find the correct brand for your digestive system?

Do you mean separate for each or the combo tablets?

If the former, you might just be a bit intolerant to it. I tried them and no problems.

If it's the max strength ones, try the high strength.

If that doesn't work, then either try the zinc policinate (others, even combos, are zinc gluconate)....or switch to a different/better brand with a better absorption rate.

kilburn · 07-01-2015 8:00am

yep the zinc are 25 mg zinc gluconate and then 100mm magnesium citrate

I have the 25mg zinc picolinate version. You could try reducing the strength you have to the 15mg high strength caps or change the formula. If neither work, change to a different brand. The likes of The Protein Works have combo capsules of magnesium citrate and zinc methionine.

Are you sure it's the zinc? magnesium usually causes that

Can happen with zinc as well albeit not all that often.

coffee_cake · 07-01-2015 10:38am

I got some probalance protein shot today on a whim. Seems not to have much rubbish in it

kilburn · 07-01-2015 8:48pm

Ya the magnesium was causing the toilet trips and zinc was causing the paib

MyProtein Whey Protein – Convenient and more economical than eating meet 5/6 times a day.

MyProtein Creatine – Just started this. Want to see if its worth it.

Multivitamins – As an insurance policy in case I lack in vitamins.

Omega-3 fish oil tablets – I don’t eat fish so I guess this could be the next best thing.

I like it to be honest! I didnt get any 'pins and needles' from the beta alanine, so far I have never had any post workout crashes and the fruit punch flavour tastes very good.

Overall I would say its a good product although I will be buying tier 1 or MTS clash next time based on there profiles

Very cheesy reply lol

I buy products that I believe in when funds allow. If I dont need it or cant afford it .... I take time away

Alf Veedersane · 09-01-2015 11:15pm

Quite possibly in a minority but I don't buy into using pre workouts. Well, not on a regular basis. You only end up relying on it a but more than you should.

That said, maybe that's just the naiveté of a relative beginner.

Paddy_PT · 09-01-2015 11:26pm

I have a love/hate relationship with them.

This week i love them

.... however I know that it is a placebo effect but if it gets you through your workout and you can afford them then why not take a pre?

If you cant afford it then a good stong coffee will do the job

When I'm training to a program, then I do what I have to do regardless of whether I'm feeling it that day. It might make me squeeze out an extra rep on a given day but that's about it.

They were different before the banned ingredients. Jack3d and original craze did drive you more in your work out but they also covered over issues with your diet and sleep as well.

Preworkouts these days just aren't the same.
