hey guys, i saw at the gym the other night this little bottle of protein. it's got 50 grams of protein a serving, and it's like 4 bucks a bottle. i tried it after i had already had a protein shake, and i felt like an adrenaline roid rush was going through me! (strong stuff, but very sweet and tangy). has anybody else tried this? i saw it online at prosouce for like 32 bucks for 12 bottles. i thought maybe it's better than traditonal protein shakes. (2 a day of these and good to go).
-
Benchmstr likes them a lot - drinks up to 3/day.
He'll probably chime in when he sees this thread.
He's almost got me convinced to try them.
-
yeah...i drink 2-3 a day.....the only complaint i have is the taste but the 4oz serving is only 2 drinks so i can live with it.....i noticed a lot of positive things from taking them...i would highly recommend them to anybody who is able to drink them...

and i am actually starting to enjoy drinking them......i am a sick, sick person!!!

thanks benchmaster! (3 a day though)?! damn! but to be truely huge, i know ya gotta comsume massive amounts of protein, and 150 grams plus regular meals will do it! (i did tell one dude at the gym about them, and he's gonna try it). i hope he likes them, cause he's a big mo' fo' , and i don't want him to beat me up if he doesn't like them! ;)

Hey Bench, are you SWAT?

Hey Bench, are you SWAT?
don't get me wrong..at first it was great, then the commander retired and the new guy had 0% real world experience outside of the training schools he went to......he was going to get someone killed, and he only wanted to do operations that he thought would get us on TV....i was having to do all the felony warrants on my normal shift because it was taking him too long to plan a raid....since i quit he has been fired...

Sounds like you made the right move.
I've known a few SWAT guys - CRAZY M.F.'ers!
;D

most of them have no idea what they are doing....they're knowledge of tactical warefar was gained from modern warefare 2.......most of the swat guys are the same as star trek nerds....but with modern warfare instead...
i have been offered the commander position over our team...but i couldn't keep my current position...so i pass..

Great.
I feel a lot safer knowing that Trekkies are watching over us.
I think tomorrow I'll go stock up on some more ammo for my Glock & renew my concealed carry permit that expired last month.

MW2 is awesome... except for all the spawn camping...
yes, that's me in your spawn..
-
Indeed it is a great game...but these jackoffs are using it as training for real life....

These ones don't have that cheap collagen protein in it do they?
-
Which other beef isolate mixes have you discovered to use collagen?
PM me if you fear legal action.
;D

It's pure shit. Here's what's found on the ingredients list. Hydrolized Beef Protein Collagen Isolate
Collegen is mashed up bone and skin. For $4 you can buy a cut of beef and cook it yourself that is 1000% better than that crap.

Yup - just as I suspected :-X
I'd be interested in knowing how this made and from what. Do you know? The name sounds like it's boiled up remnants to me :-X

its not a main ingredient....but it is in there....

Collagen protein is farther down on the label – which, technically speaking, indicates a lower percentage of content than the ingredients appearing before it.
However, the Beef Protein Isolate listed before the collagen is part of a “blend.”
The favorite trick of some companies is to invent some blend so that they can include the desirable ingredient (as part of it) higher up on the label.
Looks like good, old water takes 1st prize in that category.

Exactly. If it's a Proprietary blend then they can list the contents of that blend in any order. So there's 50 grams of protein but they don't tell you if its 48 grams of collagen or just 1 gram. It's crap and crap at a pricey point. You can just buy normal whey shakes for a couple of bucks that's better for you.

Here's the list.
CARNIVOR-BPI™ Liquid Protein Blend [Purified Water, Hydrolized Beef Protein Isolate, BCAAs (L-Leucine, L-Valine, L-Isoleucine), Anabolic Nitrogen Retention Technology™ Intermediates: GKG (Glutamine-Alpha-Ketoglutarate), OKG (Ornithine-Alpha-Ketoglutarate), AKG (Alpha-Ketoglutarate), And KIC (Alpha-Ketoisocaproate)], Hydrolized Beef Protein Collagen Isolate, Citric Acid, Natural And Artificial Flavor, Sucralose, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate, Acesulfame Potassium, And FD&C Yellow #6.
You notice the blend is in square brackets [] then the collagen is next outside. So chances are the blend may be 26 grams and the collagen is the other 24 grams of the total 50 grams of protein.
-
I noticed that the Carnivor powder has creatine in it and doesn't list collagen isolate like the protein shots does.
-
Well, I know we keep getting hung up on that collagen thing, but…
Until they list the percentages of each individual ingredient (and are honest about it), we can only speculate about ratios, etc.
The liquid shots may be even more effective for building muscle than the powder – who knows?
Creatine can skew the results a bit.
I remember when Muscle-Tech included creatine in their Nitro-Tech protein (maybe they still do).
While it was “hidden” on the label, guys thought they were gaining solid muscle extremely fast on this revolutionary protein powder.
Without complete/verifiable information/facts, it is often important to consider anecdotal evidence supported by real world experience.
Bench is a big dude – been playing this game for a while – and he’s reported some significant gains after using the stuff.
That certainly makes it worth a try in my book.

i actually stopped taking them about 2 weeks ago....i loved the results....but i let one get hot in my investigator mobil, and i still drank it....i cant get the taste out of my head >:(
i have just been taking more of my custom post workout powder through out the day lately...

You should have poured it into a bowl with some onions & carrots.
Would have made a nice punch-flavored stu.
