Gumbo

Theres 2 on Grafton Street that sell supplements, one's Holland and Barrett and the other one's Health something or other on the Trinity college end. Ye won't miss them

COH

There are supplement shops on Camden St, Capel st, one in the Ilac centre and one on Moore st.

Order off the net!!!! Much cheaper and location doesnt matter!

billyhead

What is the cheapest site on the net to order from?

flywheel

i started ordering from here; quick delivery, good prices (from my last comparison on some items), and effcient/friendly when i called and emailed
http://www.universalnutrition.ie/

madmik

most shops areound town are selling overpriced crap,ur far better off buying it online
also cant beat that free delivery

Nowler

LMFAO.
Why do you guys buy from ireland?
1.Irish stores dont have the BEST selection.
2.Most dont have PH's
and 3 its daylight robbery lol.

Wise up guys and buy from the states

You get better products and a wide selection for CHEAPER prices, still cheaper even after paying for p+p.

10lb bag of protein costs 80€ here and costs 77$ there.
You should buy 2 or more products at a time to take full advantage of the price.

For the record im irish and living in wexford just so you know im not a store rep for some american store.
Im a bodybuilder and i spend thousands of euro each year on supplements so i need to find the cheapest stores.
I've been using U S stores for quite a while now and have saved LOADS of money.

Heres a link to my bodybuilding forum, check out the supplement stores section.

Also if you need any help with trainning, supplements, steroids, ph's, diets or just general stuff, feel free to post your questions and we'll help you out.

Ah c'mon now, what's with all this talk of steroids and PH's?? Most people here aren't even near being at a level to justify those choices.

Nowler

I hear you man but thats only 2 sections there, both i and the mods have exellant advice on diets, trainnig, fat loss and supplements.

The steroids and ph's are for the big boys and will NEVER be condoned to those under 21.

Have a read around of some of the post and logs here, you'd be surprised at the quality of the info

Nowler

Lol, this is a big site man, im afraid that if i look around i'll get lost lol.

Is there a bodybuilding board here?

I wanna see what kinda knowledge you guys have?

COH

I order my supplements off bodybuilding.com or nutritionconnection.ie. Good value to be had off both, but depends on how soon you need it to be delivered. thesupplementfactory.ie is supposed to be pretty cheap, but from what I hear their stuff tastes like sh*t

I'm sure many will argue otherwise

Nowler

do what i do and order 3 months of stuff in advance.
What's the cheapest online store in ireland, i wanna compare the prices.

Oh, and when buying of bb.com put " Free straps please" in the comment box and you'll get em.

Merry christmas

2 5lb tubs of whey protein cost 59.98e from www.thesupplementfactory.com - one of, if not THE cheapest online Irish store.

Nowler

That is cheap enough but there no amino acids in it.
Id have to buy my amino acids (leucine, isoleucine and valine) from the states so therefore id be better to buy all my stuff in the 1 store so that i get discounts.

A lot of money to be made in the supplement game in ireland, it would be a wise choice if 1 of you set up shop.

So many people misinformed bout products like glutamine and creatine and others.

How much creatine do you guys use per day?

There's no amino acids in protein??

Good company's put amino acids into there protein powder.
Any body that knows even the slightest bit about building muscle knows that amino acid are essential!!

100% Gold standard whey is 1 of the best you can get.

Packed with Whey Protein Isolates
Higher Pure Protein Percentage
Fast-Acting HYDROWHEY Whey Peptides
Provides Whey Protein Microfractions
More than 5 grams of BCAAs
Over 4 grams of Glutamine & Precursors
Instantized to Mix with a Spoon

Quality product!!!

I'd hope so. Otherwise it would just be an empty tub.

Lol. Looks like there's one of us who knows about building muscle, and another who knows what supplements to buy so eh?

Nowler

lol
Gold standard whey has higher amino acids than most other products.

Is this the one you're talking about?? http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/opt/whey.html

BB.com wrote:

Higher protein percentage. ON's 100% Whey Gold Standard has always been a leader in this respect. Now with 24 grams of protein in just slightly over one-ounce serving, it's nearly 79% protein by weight!

Not all that much better than a general protein concentrate. You get 78-80% protein by volume with any concentrate. A good isolate will be closer to 90%

The fact they claim it's an isolate annoys me. There's probably SOME isolate in the blend, and because it's a "blend" they can list it any way they want, instead of by volume, like it would be listed other wise (which would put concentrate as the first on the list, ruining the image they're trying to portray).

Arguing about the differences in amino acid content of the various high quality whey products is ridiculous at best.

Nowler all whey, by its very nature, is full of amino acids. For a very small minority of people who are dieting very hard or training extremely intensely there may be some benefit to supplementing with extra BCAAs but for the majority of folk, particulalry those here, any good brand whey protein blend will be more than enough to meet their needs.

Nowler

What do you think of "american sports nutrution's" AMERICAN WHEY 25lb tub.

Quality to price?

I think if you're carrying too much bodyfat and not enough muscle, it doesn't matter.

I suppose, is there any actual bodybuilders here?
Not people that go to the gym but people that actually want to get 230+lbs?

It sure does suck to work your balls off building quality muscle and then cut and lose muscle.
I know it happens but i strongly believe in raising amino's to recover quicker and reduce to amount of muscle lost during a cut.

P.s sorry g'em, i didn't realise that discussing ph's was not alowed

LOL my bad

Currently competitive bodybuilders? Not that I know of.

We just make do with some national and world level powerlifters, a few national weight lifters, a couple of supplement store owners, oh and the odd ex-European Title Holder Natural BBing champion. It's not much but we make do with the limited information we have to hand, y'know, in between dreaming of our 230lb goals :pac:

The Fitness Forum is more of a generalist forum that caters for a variety of lifters and exercise enthusiasts tbh, and we try to create an environment where every level is catered for. There's some extremely experienced, practised, knowledgable individuals lurking around - don't judge by first appearances

Nowler

That a good selection of experiance, most forums dont have any1 like that.
Whats the story on steroid discussion?
I know asking for sources and sh!t is not allowed but what about talking bout a cycle your on or going to do, is that allowed?

I can think of one or two members who have used them, but never gone into great detail about what they specifically used.

No-one's really interested in them tbh. Have you/are you planning on using them?

I imagine discussing specific cycle's is a no-no, but I'm sure a mod will shed some light on it.

Steroids can be discussed in general terms but given that it's such a grey area legally we can't allow for advice to be dispensed on how to cycle or where to get them (and in all fairness there's plenty of other sites that cater for those topics in lots of depth).

Notting but ph b4 that, this 1 in november will be my second, i put on 15lbs with the epistane.

OK g'em i say nuttin then.
I was just looking for an irish forum that discussed everything, im a member of an american 1 but it gets kinda boring sometimes :pac:

Its not as big as it sounds,i've ran epistane and soon i'll be stacking it with another 1, maybe 2 more after that and then i'll run it. By rights your supposed to run it with steroids aswell but because your greatest gains from a roid cycle come with the first cycle i think its better to use it as my ace card when competing, plus its harder to build muscle naturally after running gear.

Not 100% on running the insulin because its so dangerous, i know i should but dont wanna do it wrong and end up in a coma now do i lol.

Im 5 11 at 200lbs with 17- 19% bf, i know fat [EMAIL="bast@rd"]bast@rd[/EMAIL] but i was fatter.
My excuse is i had a replacement 3 years ago and then a yr or more later i got hit by a car lol.

Are you an athlete or bber

g'em

I'm closing this one up now - take the conversation to PM if you'd like to discuss it further plskthanxbye.
