so i go into buying my protein and....

imraan47 · 08-10-2005, 09:40 PM

yea so i got into the store, knowing what i want to get..which is the Allmax Nutrition : IsoFLEX - Strawberry (http://www.supplementscanada.com/popeyes/product59.html)

then as i got talking to this person who i first thought was guy cuz 'she' was facing the proteins and stackin them up. lol it turns out its a girl and she was freakin huge man. bigger than me in some ways for sure!
so then i said that im taking a weight gainer and i want to switch to just a whey protein blend, which we all agree to that the weight gainer are crap anyway.
she tell me that ok but dont be supprised if u loose weight. when ever u go from weight gainer to protein u are reducing ur calories. as we do know that the gainers give us an easy 1000cal per shake minimum where as the protein will give half of that.

so this kind of makes sence but ahhhh ijust bought what i went in for. see link above.
so do u guys think she has a point there or a bunch of crap!!

also about creatine she goes its better to take a creatine esters types of products as these will give u some good size and when u get off it, u will keep the size compared to the others like creatine monohydrate - as the weight gained from this is water retention. she showed me the Dymatize - Xpand

so yea, what are ur thoughs on this!!!

PS: ok i just realized that this is probably the wrong section...u may move it! sry

I salute you, you resisted the persuasive salesperson who wants to take your money! Weight gainers are whey + sugar, just blend up some oatmeal with the whey to make your own "weight gainer". Although that still is very expensive for 5 pounds of whey, you can get a good deal for 5lbs for about half that i would imagine.

The Xpand is garbage, but there may be some benefit in pure Creatine Ethyl Ester.

yes this was really expensive but i wanted to go with this.

much cheaper but some how when i asked about it she said its a cheap protein and just agreed with her. she told me about muscle milk, but i didnt take that one. she also said take the Elite from Dymatize. http://www.supplementscanada.com/pop...roduct164.html)

anyways do u think that Prolab whey would be good and just as effective as the one that i actually bought??? i mean they are both 5lbs and and have the same type of blend which is isolate whey protein.

Never take advice from those bloodsucking bitches!!! They are there to take your money and that's all, they could care less what gains you get out of the product.

from what i hear the creatine ethyl estar is better than monohydrate. I've taken the ethyl estar and i kept my gains. however, ive never taken monohydrate so i really cant compare the two. As for a weight gainer, I would make my own weight gainer instead of buying one. I get 5000 calories as it is anyways so ive never thought about weight gainers but that stuff is expensive.......

And i agree with everyone else, do your research from people that know what they are talking about b/c the people at GNC and all those other stores usually dont know what they are talking about. Especially GNC, no matter what you say/ask they will promote their products.

one of Their lies is there are two kind of aminos .. one for bulk and one for cut .. the higher the number of aminos in one capsule the more you get cut .. god what do they think of us ?? fools ?? .. and sadly poor people who don't have any knowladge of that believe them

GNC is a bunch of crap...i only bought sutff from there once and hated it. i ended up returning it back and got my refund so i was happy about that but since that time, i never ever bought anything, or even allowed for any advice from them.
