Man this sounds like the recent idea we've had in mine to turn a full english and a cup of tea/coffee into a brekkie shake at the weekend.

That I think I could hold down.

I may not have washboard abs, but I do have an iron stomach.

I don't think it'll be that bad tbh, I'll keep you informed when we get off our asses and do it

You can buy something Called 'Body fortress' in Holland and Barrett for 15 quid (On special offer at the moment but that stuff always seems to be on some kind of offer). Doesn't have the same amount of nutrients per scoop as the bigger names but it tastes nice and is dirt cheap.

ordered the two big whey from Jon @ www.pronutrition.ie on Wednesday afternoon. The two tubs arrived today with a free mixing bottle. Fantastic value and great service.
Cheers

I make my own post-workout shake consisting of whey powder,glucose,maltodextrin,creatine ethyl ester,powdered BCAA's and flax oil.After a while it doesnt taste so bad..:o

whoa! skip the flax post work out! Its a contradiction to the work of the dextrose. While the Dext is trying to speed up your delivery, the flax is slowing it down. Also no need for maltodextrin if you're using dext and if you're using a good protein powder you're just doublin up by using BCAA's at the same time.

MMM - Glad the stuff arrived nice and prompt! Hope it works well for you

Very impressed Jon, received the two tubs of big whey and shaker bottle this morning having only ordered it yesterday afternoon!

I take 10-15gs of BCAA powder straight after workout ie within seconds.
Then 15-20 mins later have proper PWO shake (whey and fruit juice).

45-60 mins after that have meal of some description - generally eggs and/or meat based, eg quiche, stir fry with egg fried rice etc

I got mine today (in Galway, meh)

Anyways, I tried my first scoop (ever!) and am wondering is is supposed to be this nice? sweet, like cocoa milk or something. It's the choc mint flavor btw mixed with 200 ml of skimmed milk.

Are you sure you're not putting us on Jon and give us pudding disguised as whey protein?

Is that Nutrition-X whey? I have to say at first I was skeptical of the chocolate mint but it's actually very tasty.

Am I the only one not a fan???

Strawberry/Vanilla ProX ftw.

Strawberry, nutrition x is nice. Chocolate on it's own not as good, must try the choc mint one.

rocky · 09-03-2007 02:57PM

I find it very nice, the choc mint one. I also have a 6 lbs (?) vanilla tub, but have not tried it yet. If you say it's even better...

Yah, the one in Jon's offer, "Nutrition X Big Whey".

Takeshi_Kovacs · 09-03-2007 08:11PM

I think i will go for the choc mint as well, but what other flavour is nice, and not too acky tasting? strawberry or 'nanas?

yomchi · 09-03-2007 11:06PM

Hey guys, believe or not choc mint sold out til tuesday!

The stuff is flying out, loads of banana and vanilla and chocolate left. Have to say the new chocolate flavour is really chocolatty!

Frankieboy · 12-03-2007 06:23PM

So I take it that Nutrition X Whey is still the best value?

Shrimp · 12-03-2007 09:25PM

About 60 euro for 6lbs.

yomchi · 12-03-2007 11:31PM

12lbs for 89.90!

How often should I be taking my whey protein? At the moment I'm only having a shake directly after weights training (~2 days a week). Should I be having one after cardio workouts / on days where I dont train at all? My main aim is to increase strength, mass and tone up.

Thx.

Hey ian, the easiest thing is to take a scoop after training, and there's no harm having a half scoop after cardio too. With both shakes, put 60g of glucose in too and make it up with water.

Read the stickies on diet as well. These shakes are only part of a bigger picture and it's all (your whole diet) important.
