Novice here - started with a PT - Question regarding a protein supplement?
-
07-04-2017 9:09am#1I bought this from him based upon his recommendation - i was distracted with work stuff when I was with him so forgot to ask many questions.
I just want to get this straight - its to help my muscles recover as theyre not used to strenuous activity? And theres protein in it?
Also how much and how often do I take? I think he said 4 scoops in a 500ml glass after every work out.
Can it make me put on weight?
Thanks0

He is telling you total garbage to extract money from your pocket. I would dump him immediately to be honest. Someone who treats their own clients as a fleecing opportunity is a scumbag, in my opinion. How can you trust anything he tells you when apparently he sees you as a mark?
To develop your muscles you need a decent protein intake. The vast majority of that protein should come from normal day-to-day foods. If you think you'll struggle to get enough protein into your diet you should get a basic whey supplement from somewhere like MyProtein or Bulk Powers, because it has a very high protein content. That's it. It is a very basic substance, there is nothing exotic about it. Any other garbage you hear about it providing energy, or being muscle fuel, or being necessary when you're not used to strenuous recovery, total rubbish.
As a rule, if the packaging has anything fancy on it, it is expensive bullshit targeted at people who don't know any better. For example, yours has a grenade on the front with military camo - that's a bad sign.
This is what a bag from MyProtein looks like:
You can tell they're not trying to tap into the meathead market.0 -

You sound like a lunatic.Complete over reaction.And there you are posting a picture of......another protein supplement..I understand the lust for certain brands of protein on this site but you guys be splitting hairs over a few grams.(oh and$$)
For all you know the pt might be very very good at what he does,would it have been ok if he sold him some myprotein whey in a bag? Or is it his description on the effectiveness of the product that bothers you.
Bland generic packaging for the win.0 -

Spot on. It makes no difference at all. He denounces a protein brand, then recommends another protein brand.0 -

It's about the horseshit bloated price of products like that, isn't that obvious?
Go here, do the math:
https://www.grenade.com/uk/hydra-6
They are charging 84 pounds for 1.8kg.
If you check the prices for MyProtein you can get 5kg for 54.99, before sales discount, which is almost all the time.
To put it another way:
This laughable macho military man protein is charging 46 per KG.
MyProtein is charging 10.99.
So yeah, all protein is equal, except some protein costs four times as much. Bland generic packaging for the win, indeed.
The reason I say dump the PT is because he is at the very least giving bad advice (telling them to waste their money on outrageously over priced protein), or
Deliberately telling them to waste their money because the PT gets a cut.
He should be looking out for his client, not fleecing him like a mark.0 -

What comes first; what the client needs or the sale?
Conflict of interest springs to mind.

Once upon a time i use to purchase upward of 12k of protein wholesale from the uk+eu every other month.
I understand the quantity and cost are much more favorable on the mp site..But get this,,people will still prefer the fancy product over the value you suggest.
Even being honest as day with customers showing them the numbers most of the time the go with the bs product...and if you look the part you sell much more product.
The level of fickleness amount people looking to improve themselves is very annoying..You should work in a supp shop for a weekend.
This is where i feel you are wrong,simply because your aware of the cost of protein elsewhere you feel like this person is being ripped off.
You could suggest to the person next time they buy whey they can purchase from mp..
instead of going of on a character bashing rant of aperson who you do not know.
