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).

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.

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!

https://www.puritan.com/mvc/Catalog/Search?searchText=whey%20protein

Clearance sale: 2-lb Myology Whey Protein Isolate (Chocolate) for $5. I order 5 of them last week. Use search engine (i.e. Google) to get to this site; but do so by typing "$25 free shipping". That way you only have to buy $25 worth of stuff to get free shipping instead of the usual $50.

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.
