ALSO thanks for the bump. Reminds me.
I want to regularly consume protein again in powdered form but there are ELEVNTY BILLION different brands and types.
I don't want to (read: cannot) GET RIPPED I just want the muscle recovery/build benefits.
Advice?

If you are not needing to be WADA compliant, HP100 is the best by the length of the Caulfield straight.

If you will be tested whilst using it (HP contains a couple of peptides and aminos they don't like) go for something else. Preferably avoid the american body builder focused ones. They are dodgy. Also, avoid Max's - the quality fluctuates wildly.

 

It may work but i found that to be the most vile tasting protein powder i've tasted.

So, allegedly, Justin Crow doesn't know the difference between half the products Iron Edge sells.

This is somewhat troubling/disturbing

 

WTF

A couple of weeks ago we had to send someone out to demo how to use something (cos they kept saying they were breaking them and we were getting sick of replacing the products)

Turns out they’d ordered the completely wrong thing :S

Lol. Yep, tastes pretty rude.

 

If being really tasty is important try Goliaths. Works very well, tastes great.

Skim milk powder. Same result much much cheaper.

To an extent, although most of the protein content in skim milk powder is casein or slow releasing whereas whey protein is fast releasing.

Skim is perfect for over night/ general daytime if you are training hard. After a workout I would go whey isolate for it's quick bio availability though.

Fine use infant formula. Point is for 99% of the population protein powder is wank.

Can you tear muscle just a little bit?

Can you tear muscle just a little bit?

yes

What fixes that … rest?

Yes.

I actually haven't had protein post workout for a while. I used to get this Caliber flavourless stuff and quite liked it, but focus more on carbs after workouts now. 

 

Come home and have oats with blueberries, banana, and peanut butter. I actually find I recover better from this than when I was having shakes.

Going to need some details of what they were doing for the lolz! 

 

I don't get how an amateur could make mistakes like that let alone someone who's job it is to prepare footballers

Must be a Collingwood thing cos Buttifant did the same thing

Got Marty (the weights co-ordinator) to organise some gear from us and (according to Marty) it went like this

Marty: Butters, the medicine balls bounce and the dead balls don’t

Buttifant: Yep yep yep! Get the dead balls!

2 weeks later . . .

Buttifant: Marty, you got the wrong fcking balls! They don’t bounce!

Marty: Are you a f
cking idiot?

He had a laugh when I told him about Crowy lol

Also for anyone who cares, the bird from the Saints that got sent home from NZ this year was the same one that got sent home last year lol

First time visiting this thread in over 6 months! Hope the gym is treating you boys well (Eastie and Your Team!)

After looking at all the options for protein powder i made my own blend and works out about $45 a kilo.

 

100% NZ Whey isolate 

Dextrose

Raw Cacao powder

Add a table spoon of coconut oil or peanut butter if I want extra calories

 

Tastes fantastic, high in BCAA's and no shititer protein blends. If making at night i'll mix with whole milk , if during day just use water.

Why do you need to add BCAA's to it?

 

 

Not a fan of the concentrate from past experience, Isolate comes in at 95% protein.

 

What source does it come from?

 He gets his protein powder in bulk direct from the manufacturer Glanbia foods. This is one of the largest cheese/dairy manufacturers.  This company is the same that supplies Optimum Nutrition. 

 

So you are getting the protein from the source without the pixie dusting and marketing.

 

I don't add BCAAs to the protein I add them to my water during the day to sip on.
