does thishappen to anyone here..... when i mix protien i put in bcaa's as well but when i mix it it never getsmixed in finy so theres likelittle powder nuggets and the shake cant cover up the tatseof them so when you drink yor prtien you can taste it and you wanna throw up...

also...anyone know where i can get the limited edition flovours of ON 100% WHEY?

i want the rootbeer float

Well is a pill BCAA? or the actual powder? cause if its pill you should not blend it in just swallow them like your supposed to. I just take pills but on the other hand if they are powder then im not really sure why its doing that might just be your blender or its freezing when you put it in there with ice if you do put ice in.

well yea you can get those from bodybuilding.com and root beer float only comes in 1lb. but they also have a few other limited edition flavors in the 2 lb. tubs
my protein has little chunks in it sometimes but thats just usually if i dont shake it up good enough, n my protein has a significant amount of bcaa's so i dont take bcaa's 2 so i cant help you there bud. no offense man but i haven't heard of putting ice in a protein shake n i dont see it freezing. n i doubt youngage is blending up a pill or at least i hope not

haha no its a powder... and yes you put ice in you shake if you blend it. makes it taste bter cuzz its cold

ronnie does it... saw it in relentless

well, you're just going to have to tolerate the little pieces that dont blend all the way. i don't think bcaa's blend all the way. have you tried the caplets/ capsules?

Are you mixing it in a blender or by hand? Blender will crush anything in there

**lil_big_junior** · 12-06-2007, 02:07 PM

blend it for longer or take a spoonfull of the whole 5g & knock it back with water, get it over & done with quick i know it don't taste good, lol...either that or get over the clumps. as for where you buy supps from, check out our own supp store here on the dungeon

this maybe a dumb question...but im sure some one will enlighten me

why do you put BCAA's in a protien shake? for that matter what are the advantages to using BCAA's? i never really got into them, just used protien powder and meat.

You put them in a protein shake for faster absorbtion

bcaa' are the amino acids that are not found in the body. Your body proceduces some but not all..

If I'm incorrect, someone will clarify this in more detail... ummm Freak. lol

Also, some might argue that ON Whey has a great amount of BCAA's...however, free form bcaa's, such as those taken in powder or pill, are different. they are more easily absorbed and highly beneficial for recovery.

thanks...

AvRunningBack1331 · 12-06-2007, 05:02 PM

tapout7 are you serious bro you have never put ice in a protein shake you should try it like youngage said it makes it cold but it is also like sipping on a smoothie if you make it right. =)

naw that sounds good though, but i havent ever did it. i dont have a blender so i guess thats why i never considered it. i just put my protein n well post workout my glutamine both into a shaker bottle with 2% milk. N my whey doesnt but my gainer usually has little chunks in it but they dont really bother me

youngage · 12-06-2007, 08:57 PM

lol i dont mind gainer , it actually tastes goodnd the chunks get stuck in your teeth ...

but i am saying the BCAA powder... that ****s gross... its like a chainreaction. but i holdit in.

**T.O** · 12-07-2007, 02:10 AM

Prudence is right. Bcaa powder does not quite mix well. Mix and down as fast as you can. Or go with capsules.

youngage · 12-07-2007, 05:25 PM

yup yup
