Too many options!...take 2 ;)

I just found about about this site from a guy I know at work, so I decided to check it out and everything sounds and looks really good. I just don't know enough about the products to know where to begin.

Backstory: I'm about 6'2", 176 lbs. I'm looking to add on muscle. I started getting back into the gym last summer and I was taking the BSN stack stuff, and multivitamin from GNC that I had access too out there. Now that I've been keeping this up for about 8 months I think I need to try something different from what I'm taking to help with the workouts. (Something that works better)

Now I need some help from the Pros! (You guys ;p) I'm not looking to be a professional lifter, but I think I could stand to put on a good 25-30 lbs of muscle. On a side note, one of the guys I work with was talking about a friend of his who was taking the Super Plasma Protein and got amazing results with it.

I'm not trying to be lazy by asking for help...but every product I've read about has the "Best results".

So...I don't know the best way to ask really. Do I need a pre/post workout and a meal replacement option? (Money isn't really a problem, I just need something bearable to drink ;p)

Thank you all in advance, please excuse my newbieness,

Dane

Hi Dane and welcome to PF.

I do believe you are being lazy JK

Your friend is correct, Plasma is one of the best to add to your shakes during the day and after your workout.

As far as a pre/during/post, may I suggest using pepto pro straight or something such as sonic protein. Both are great for pre and during to flood the muscles with fast absorbing proteins.

GPLC, Tetra Pump and Creapure are great to add to your diet.

It will take a little time to get the jist of it, simply because most of us have been blind for so long about protein supplements! Read as much as you can and ask anything (well within the realm ) and we will all help.

With that being said, Alex just added the "Sampler Pack" to the shop- type that in the search field, nice little mix of popular proteins. The formulas section has great stuff for those still not ready to make the custom mix, you get to add the carbogens and extras yourself. Penta proteins, IPI and M Casein are my favorite.

To be honest and long winded on this email, after a year and a few months I just started using the custom lab.I was happy with everything else to offer, but had to give it a shot.

The sale section has a good list of some mixed protein specials as well.

I have tried many products here and the only complaint I have is when I run out


Wow, sounding like a true sales men

Alex, can I have that job now


Any help you need bro, simply ask away

HI and welcome from another newbie!

Just wanted to say, my sister got the sampler pack. She says, they all tasted pretty much the same (so far tried 6 or so) with the exceptions of one's like the peptopro. She has liked MOST of them- as is. No problems with any of them and her tummy- which was one of her major concerns. Guess it just proves Alex right...most the stuff on the market quality-wise... doesn't compares to what he offers.

I can say, I got frustrated with all the choices too and ordered the Anabolic because of the sale price... and reading it taste like Muscle Milk. It does too without the thickness (gaur gum). I am female- so I never take a full serving and mix it with a Light protein that I picked up too. I also got purple muscle LOVE IT. I also grab the hydropeptides from BB, since he didn't have any currently.

We are focusing on our next order now. I am thinking custom or peptopro. I think, I can get use to the taste by adding smaller and smaller amounts of Anobolic or purple. I'm also thinking of getting his creapure...OH and the VITAMINS!!!

Good Luck on deciding..It is a VERY TOUGH Job here LOL.I hear it does get easier.

Hmm, Thanks a lot for the advise Vaporeizied, I poked around in the pre-mixed stuff and surfed the forums a bit more to figure out which setup would work. I liked the mix on the Big Blast but from the forums people liked a higher % of the plasma.

I ended up making a spinoff of that

40% CFM Whey Isolate,
15% Super Plasma Protein,
10% Vaporfiltration Whole Egg,
15% Dextrose,
15% Rilose,
5% Creapure Creatine,

or, one with only 5% egg and 20% plasma, but I don't know if that would be too much. Are any of the additives worth throwing in there?

And after you make a mix like this, besides my multivitamin, what else should you be taking. Aside from eating healthy meals.

So much to learn!

I like what you have there. if you want to add plasma, you might want to pick it up as a stand alone and add to another protein. i usually dump 10-15 g's in my morning and night shake or post.

if you truly want some of the best workouts and as far as supps and you can swing it, GPLC ( costly but def worth it in my opinion) will give you the best workouts and pumps.

**check out Alex's review of NOX supps"

if that is too much $$, then tetra is another

Right now, I have been dumping GPLC in with Sonic Protein for a pre work out. Sonic on its own is great, so I use the GPLC every other workout. Pepto Pro is just an awesome product to add to a gatorade for example. Use pre, during, post.

Having those broken down proteins to use makes a big difference, and with GPLC you should find that you are able to do more reps as well as sets. I have posted this earlier this year that this stuff helped so much.


when you get used to some of the tastes you may want to jump to the hydro 520, but beware this stuff has a bite and its not for the people who want a sweet good ole shake! Now that is a protein that does some good stuff!

I found that ordering the pepto pro, not as a shake powder, but just normal pepto, its not too bad. Ordering the pepto with a chocolate flavor and adding the other stuff to it, the taste does slide a bit.

Just remember, we are all here to help everyone, so ask away. let me know how your mix worked out for you.

Ok, I'm trying to wrap my head around all of this. Thanks again for the help, I hate having to relearn stuff all the time when it comes to work out stuff. At least this time I think I'm doing it right so I should be good.

Here is what I have so far:

Supplements:
GLPC
Creapure

Proteins:
Super Plasma (add in)
Pepto (Main Protein)

Other stuff:
Rilose


Sorry I missed what you said about the addon stuff earlier, I guess I skipped that part

Thank you both for all the advice and the welcome to the forum, I think I have a good start of products and I'll let you know how it works out for me.

Hi

Supplements:
GLPC
Creapure

good choice with the gplc and creapure


Proteins:
Super Plasma (add in)
Pepto (Main Protein)

"super is great, but as far as the pepto, I was referring to pepto as an add in with GPLC, so you may want anapure or sonic. I have been using Sonic prior to working out with GPLC and creapure.

Pepto as main protein has a strong taste even flavoring it with sweetner. So be ready for it, otherwise you can go with something different. IPI isolate or even better CFM with plasma is a good choice."

dont worry to much about the other stuff, you should be good with this as a start.

let us know

thanks
Vap

Ah, well figures I wouldn't get it all right That's fine though, as this was going to be a test run I didn't buy a ton of anything in particular.

Thanks for the heads up though.

I just bought the pepto protein, first time and i was like, holy s! Just really caught me by suprise.

not sure how strict your diet is and depending the on the flavor, you can always add nestle quick to it (which is not to high in fat)

however, the sonic and anapure isnt bad

Did you try tasting PeptoPro plain? I bet it isn't all that bad, but then again I have a high tolerance for nasty-tasting stuff.
