I thought it was an odd fit when Dusty went over there for a year promoting their crap.
He's back w/ Mutant now it looks like.
Before "Pervy-Joe Inflation" I was buying Nutricost, Whey, Creatine, HMB in large containers for a fraction of the cost.
Even that place has gone up due to raw-material costs. The retarded fuel costs affect everything.
Has to be shipped/trucked, etc...

Same here - I was buying a lot of nutricost - their whey isolate was really good and inexpensive before covid - right off amazon
it seemed like they got into sponsoring collegiate sports - I know they are out of Utah and I saw them showcasing athletes from colleges around there
I feel like a jackass buying muscle mik from Walmart - need to find another goto protein mix

Same for me, only it was from Piping Rock and Puritan's Pride.
They had the 5-ounce cans of WheyFit Isolate for $0.83 (clearance) on Piping Rock. It used to be "Limit 2". But about two months ago, they didn't limit the purchase to just 20. So, I bought 22 of them for a little under $20. That's just under 7 lbs of whey isolate powder.
Puritan's Pride has a sports nutrition line, called Myology. That brand of HMB was $11.00 (but I've bought a bottle of sixty 1000-mg capsules for as little as $8 on occasion).
-
$8 a bottle?? Wtf.

I can't believe people still buy supplements, beef, eggs, raw dairy, beef liver. The most bioavailable, nutrient dense food on the planet. No fillers, no artificial flavoring, no contamination.
-
Clean carbs... Fuck me, that takes the cake
-
Oh and also... Brutal if true
-

That's only on occasion. Unfortunately, Puritan's Pride is either out of stock or stop carrying its HMB.

Why not? It's not either/or. Beef, eggs, dairy (not raw; I don't live near a farm) AND supplements work, especially if you don't like liver. YUCK!!!

If you like HMB, this brand on Scamazon has decent prices and quality.

do your thing man you control the quality of your life. Once I ditched all these supplements and started eating an ancestral appropriate diet (what humans were designed to eat) my performance exploded, my recovery is unreal, my physique, strength, digestion all immensely improved. They're shit, loaded with artificial flavoring, heavy metals and toxins, food dyes and various other shit. Every bodybuilder these days complain about digestion issues, ever wonder why?

Speaking of clearance sales and whey protein.....check this out!

You're welcome ;D. Why pay ungodly prices for whey protein, when you can get deals like this?

Eat eggs.
When I was late teens/early 20's I should have used the money I spent on supplements on clothes and a better car instead. Much more effective at attracting women than supplements that did next to nothing.

historically, supplements cost me very little money, I only used things I thought would give a minor boost, maybe some recovery.
Creatine basically and some Protein.
Protein was always good to have around for one meal/snack/shake. Like having a treat each day, I have a bit of a sweet tooth.
Pro-Powder, whole-eggs, oats, bananas, peanut-butter - can get it all in with a great drink.
Never rely on the shit as they are just "supplements" to a good / real-food diet. And there are very few that might help...
I see morons post today about the 500.00 a month they spend on everything (Protein, Andro, Amino's, PWO's, SARMS, Peptides, etc) and they still look like garbage.
(Dont know how to eat or train).

Even if you eat and train hard supplements do very little. If you want big muscles while being cut you need to use gear.

The only powder out there that I have ever found to be worth a damn is Beverly International. It doesn't give me gas or bloat like the others do. And the chocolate tastes great. Though I usually only order vanilla for baking protein bars to pack when I travel internationally for my photo gigs. It's much more healthy and stomach friendly than the damn airline food. One jug of Beverly lasts me about 4 months because I use so little of it.
For liquid protein consumption, I rely on a drink that I have been doing for years now and it is cheap and no stomach issues.
1 cup liquid egg whites
1 cup reduced fat Fairlife chocolate milk
That is almost 40 grams of protein, 5 grams fat and under 15 carbs per drink. And depending on where you purchase your egg whites and the milk, it is only $1.75 to $2.50 per serving.

Haha 82 quid for 12 scoops of protein the worst part is plenty idiots will buy that shit. Not sure why anyone bothers in a day and age where steroids are cheap, readily available and actually work. Vial of test is 20 quid and if was to use it all in one month will be 625mg test a week and would destroy the results given by any combination of legal supplements at a fraction of the cost yet there are idioms spending hundreds a month on worthless shit supplements. Even cost of whey these days fucks sake 2 kilos of back bacon is a fiver from the butchers and is actually enjoyable to eat

King Kamali (for one) still likes his pills - he posted his pre-workout stuff a while back

Jesus Christ. And I thought I enjoyed popping useless pills. You damn well know he’s pissing 99% of that out within a couple hours via his 3” Persian pecker. Why take 100 Advils when you can take 2 Aleve? (Old Tom Prince joke)

Apparently that sale is over, I am not seeing it.
Yep. The 2-lb jugs of chocolate are now $20. I'm glad I got them when I did. Plus, I had a "25% off one item" coupon which Puritan applied to ALL FIVE of the jugs, instead of just one. So, those five jugs ended up costing me $18.75. So, I bought some Tribulus for $9 and change as well.
What is the actual taste like?
It's quite delicious, actually. I prefer strawberry; but at $5 for a 2-lb jug, I can grin and bear chocolate for a few more weeks.

Eat eggs.
I already do: First thing in the morning (mixed with milk and, occasionally, oatmeal) and before bed (mixed with Greek yogurt).

It did end and they sold out and refunded my money, LOL... ::)
Not too good at "stock/inventory-control" I guess.

Most of my protein intake now is scooping cottage cheese in my mouth and washing it down with water.
Something happened with me and protein shakes, they taste disgusting to me. I can stomach some RTDs from the supermarket but they are expensive. I'm one of the few here who thinks protein powder is food. Nothing wrong with it. If I was rich I would live on those RTDs they serve to patients at hospitals.
The only powder out there that I have ever found to be worth a damn is Beverly International. It doesn't give me gas or bloat like the others do. And the chocolate tastes great.
I read these rave reviews of Beverly for years. Never got a chance to try them. They are a pretty small company right?
Here's the thing: they buy their raw materials where other companies do so what's different?

Like you I got sick of various protien powders. I even bought the RTDs, ensure and fresubin the hospital give patients for a while (can find people selling them on ebay here) sick of them too.
The best I've find now are the clear whey proteins. It doesn't mix thick like normal protein powder, it's more like an amino drink.

This is exactly what it is, just food. People still think they're gonna get huge drinking brotein. Uhmm nope, just a convenient thing at times to get some in.
Shakes, mix in yogurt or oatmeal, etc.
Im the opposite, I like the powders but hate those RTD's. Read the labels on those, tons of artificial crap.
Lots of fake stuff in powders as well. Some are pretty clean like Dante's, just whey and lecithin.
INGREDIENTS: Whey Protein Isolate, Lecithin.

Yes, they are awesome. Apparently, they have strict control on who gets to sell their products. It took literally forever for Vitamin Shoppe to be able to carry it. I don't know if GNC has it yet. But I haven't set foot in a GNC in many years. I have wondered that too. Most likely they source out from the same places, but for some reason they are the best tasting and stomach friendly brand I have ever tried.

It's just rock salt with a pink hue and a few extra trace minerals. Basically hippy salt.

I should add the himalayas were actually once underwater and India (subcontinent) was a land mass attached to africa that drifted up towards Asia

Try add some cucumber to the salted water and leave to chill for a couple of hours for an even more refreshing drink. No homo

I appreciate your advice, iron brother. I realized I was getting too little sodium since I mostly eat homemade meals. So between training and work, I think I was sweating out a lot of it and barely replacing it. Seems like for most, as long as you hit your potassium, calcium and magnesium levels, sodium doesn’t negatively affect blood pressure unless you’re salt sensitive. Pre-workout salt has definitely given me a better pump

Love the idea that using pink hippy salt (thanks Flexacon) made you feel just a teensy bit pink yourself ;D

Thanks for being gentle with my stoopid question! 🤪 That makes perfect sense thanks

The only Beverly products I've seen in GNC in recent years is egg protein. And that costs and arm and a leg.
