    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.
    http://muscleheads4life.proboards58.com

    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.

    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.

    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

    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?

    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

    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?

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

    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.

    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 ;)
