Not sure who you were directing that one at

If anyone else would like to here's mine: MO4310
On the subject of TPW I recently won one of their Lean Muscle packs:
http://www.theproteinworks.com/products/bundles/lean-muscle
The pack has:- Whey
- Creatine monohydrate
- BCAA Complex (Amino Acid pills)
- CLA (Fat Burner pills)
- Pre-workout supp (Raze)
TBH I've only ever used whey and casein up til now so I'm in a little over my head but I figure I might as well give this stuff a try.
Can anyone recommend a suggested daily intake for something like this? I realise they all have individual directions but I'm just not sure how to combine them. I do strength resistance training 4 days a week along with 2 days cardio and a rest day. If anyone has any advice that would be great.
Congratulations on the win man!
Whey - Take the whey directly after a workout with water, you can also use it for cooking or take it to get your protein intake for the day up.
Creatine Mono - Take 5g a day. If there's no scooper then it's 1 teaspoon.
BCAAs - Take them before/during/after training. I like to take about 10g, maybe a little more during my training. But before and directly after won't make too much of a difference if you find that easier.
CLAs - Most people take these with meals. 1 or 2 with each of your main meals or as directed on the back. Depends really on dosages and your overall diet.
Preworkout - Take it 20 mins before you start your workout. A good time is at the start of your warmup.Not sure who you were directing that one at If me I'm going to give it a try for preworkout. Had a sample one and thought it was good
I wouldn't really consider it a great preworkout to be honest. If you're just looking for a little kick / perk me up before you train it's great though. I'll use it after work if I have to head straight to train, or else if I'm in rag in the morning. I don't recommend using caffeine as a crutch to wake up, just some days I find it necessary.
The fact that ON release a more potent, powerful preworkout in America called Platinum Pre- would suggest that they're of the same mind. I however find the product indispensable and it tastes great.
With regards to the price increase, I'm going to probably get my boss to give them a ring on Friday to clarify why there was a price increase and I'll let you know what they tell me.

Related to this point I've been thinking about using CLA to try an increase fat burning and possibly a pre-workout... anyone any good advice on this? I guess what I'm asking is do people find these things beneficial or can they be a bit of a waste of money?
Not enough human trials and peer reviewed research to make a good call on them. If you have the extra cash, knock yourself out. But a good diet will do the job. Eat plenty of oily fish and keep your fish oil intake high is a tip I'd give as well, it'll help mitigate an insulin response and are generally very very sound
If you're looking for a strong stim based preworkout then ROS Nutrition Gun powder is a good shout, or if it's more of a mental focus you're after then Jack3d Micro is good.

Joe Rogan is always advertising this stuff but having tried it for the last 6 months I found Shroomtech Sport to be very effective.
Each pill is about 15,000% of your rda of B12, not sure what the f*ck that does but I did find that it is great for sustained training (ie a bjj class)
There's no big pump before or crash after, just a sustained energetic feeling (similar to waking up after a good sleep).
Personally, I found all the Onnit products I used to do what they are supposed to.
++++++++++++++++++++++++
I found Musclepharm Assault to be excellent.
The best I've ever tried has to be the Sci-Mx Xplode though, very very similar to Shroomtech Sport, no pump, no crash, just energy.
I never liked pre workouts that makes you feel like you're about to burst, NOxplode by BSN is one of those products, makes me feel like crap.
I have tried the Grenade .50 cal and found that tap water gave me more of a buzz.
Never tried Jack3d, thankfully :P0 -

That stuff looks class, loaded with ginseng and b12...both very good for energy...also with astagalarus, which is very good for the immune system and fighting man flu. May look at this stuff, how much does it cost?0 -
