This Blend Good?

Hello,

I'm 5'10" and about 178 pounds. Not looking to gain weight, but cut fat and lean up. I'm looking at the current mix for both pre/post workout. I'd take 1 scoop pre and 1 scoop post:

55% CFM
5% IPI
10% Pepto
20% Instant Oatmuscle
5% Glutamine Peptides
5% Creapure Creatine

Additions: Aminogen

Also, have you guys tried the fruit punch flavor? Any good when mixing with water vs. chocolate?

25g scoop =
17.8g Protein
4.1g Carb

I'm looking at taking my 33-35g pre and the same amount post workout so I'm in the 45-50 total grams of protein. What do you think of the above? Is this a decent mix? Do you guys have any idea how many grams of creatine would be in each scoop?

Sounds fine, though I would personally swap the glutamine peptides for either super plasma or more IPI. On the custom protein tool, you can choose different serving sizes (25g, 50g, 75g) just take the percentage (0.05 for 5%) and multiply it times the serving size to get the amount per serving. So 1.25 g create per 25 g scoop ( a little less than 1/3 cup).

Thanks for the input. This seem decent for prep/post workout then or should I have 2 different formulas? If so what would you recommend?

For post you can switch to all hydrolyzed proteins. leaving some CFM for taste. make it like

40% CFM
25% hydrolyzed 5000 or 1400
10% Pepto
20% Instant Oatmuscle
5% BCAA's
5% Creapure Creatine

So played around with it a bit and edited it into two separate formulas and compared to a few others I've seen post. Anyways I came up with the below, which I did order for a trial run.

Pre Workout
50% CFM Whey Isolate,
10% IPI Protein Isolate,
10% PeptoPro,
10% Rilose,
10% Instant OatMuscle,
5% Creapure Creatine,
5% Glutamine Peptides,
Additive: Aminogen
Flavor: Chocolate
Sweetener: Stevia

Post Workout
30% CFM Whey Isolate,
10% IPI Protein Isolate,
5% PeptoPro,
40% Rilose,
10% Instant OatMuscle,
5% Creapure Creatine,
Additive: Aminogen, Carbogen
Flavor: Fruit Punch
Sweetener: Stevia

What do you guys think of the above formulas? I have to say the Pre Workout formulas tastes horrid. I actually didn't try the post last night when I finished, but will be taking both today. Why is the taste so bitter? I know the Pepto/GlutPeptides are supposed to be a bit bitter, but jeeze I only have a small amount of both. I hope my post workout formula tastes better.

imo both r too complicated. i'd take the advise from alex and keep things much more simple. i'd opt 4 even less ingredients. a pepto or 1400 combined with oligodextrin or oatmuscle is an ideal combo imo. your 2nd formula will taste less bitter because of less pepto and more rilose though

Alright when I finish these up I'm definitely going to reformulate. I'd prefer to use CFM over a lot of hydrolyzed protein, but don't mind having a bit in there. The formula posted above:

40% CFM
25% hydrolyzed 5000 or 1400
10% Pepto
20% Instant Oatmuscle
5% BCAA's
5% Creapure Creatine

I may try next I guess. Is the Rilose necessary for the post workout insulin spike or will Oatmuscle be fine for lean gains? Would the above be good for pre and post? How about the taste?

if your worried about adding bodyfat then def opt for the outmuscle..imo it's also far healthier than the higher gi carb sources. yes it would be great 4 pre and post. you've probably tasted better than ur proposed formula but i guarantee the quality and results will far outweigh the taste..also u need to drop 5% of something..ur at 105%. i'd suggest dropping the bcaa because the cfm, hydro's and pepto r loaded with them

Thx much will attempt the above formula when this stuff runs out without the BCAA's.

personally I'm not a fan of adding BCAA's.....your protein is already going to have a ton of amino acids in them....but that's just me.

and another tip....when in doubt - add bio freash to help with taste and mixability.

when I started the blends I use I had a fair amount of bio freash and slowly decreased it to a point where I felt the mix was still good tasting and mixed well. (cuz remember Hydrolyzed proteins taste like ass) Not that bio freash is a bad protein - it's great! But I much prefer super plasma and hydrolyzed for post workout.
