Hello Fellow Meatheads,

I’m new to the site and am real excited about customizing my own protein blend. I want something that will absorb immediately after a very intense workout but I also want a blend that I can take before bed and keep my body anabolic. I am 6 foot 2, about 210 lbs and just started a strict crossfit training routine with my primary goal of getting sliced. I am capable of packing on muscle however I have developed a few pounds of dough in the belly area. I know this will naturally burn off if I keep working out like I have been, I’d like to tighten up and put on some muscle.

After learning more about the protein combinations a lot of users are blending together I’ve gotten real excited about products like Monster V, Amino 97, Super Plasma and Pepto. I obviously will need to add a casein to the mix for the slow absorbing/before bed effect.

I thought I knew a lot more about supplements but after reading some posts by users, it is clear that I am uneducated about most of the products available. I was hoping someone could help me create a mix that will fulfill my needs. It does not just have to be protein, I would also like to add any carbs and fats that would work well with an anytime protein mix. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Also, would it be much more beneficial to simply mix an anytime protein with a focus on slow absorption and also make a fast absorbing/high carb post workout (two separate mixes with different goals)? Or is there an anytime protein blend I can make that will accomplish the needs I will have immediately after a workout and also be suitable to take before bed or prior to a workout?

Thanks for all suggestions.

Good day to you sir!

I'm a newb to protein supplementation myself, but have gotten a crash course by reading all the info available in the various protein's descriptions, and from reading posts by various members/moderators. I would humbly recommend a combo of Peptopro, Killer QC, and possibly Electromuscle for immediately after your workout. Pour them into a power/gator-ade of you choice and you're set. (I've read that a little before, and a little during the workout is also extremely beneficial) Apparently the hydrolyzed casein (Peptopro) is unparalleled in absorption do to its small molecular weight and already being broken down into di and tri-peptides. They pass intact through the stomach and presto chango anabolic state. Crazy.

Since I'm broke I went for an all-purpose blend that I can take throughout the day and especially at night.

20% Ultra Amino 97 Whey Isolate
15% Tri-Fx (Whey Fraction)
10% Super Plasma Protein
10% Egg White Protein
15% Membrane Micellar Casein
30% Monster V Protein

I think it's got a lot going for it. Fast and varied wheys, (no hydro since I'll use peptopro for workouts) the seemingly essential and cherished addition of 10% of Super Plasma, one of the bodybuilder's greatest hits album contributor egg white (medium absorption), super high quality casein for slow digestion, and monster V for even longer lasting release (overnight). Has the potential to keep you in a near constant anabolic state if taken a few times a day.

As for carbs, if you want to loose weight I would stay away from high glycemic index carbs like malodextrin or dextrose. Rice oligodextrin is better, but Oatmuscle reigns supreme. Mix that with a little Omegamuscle for fats and you're set. Just my $.02. See what the heavy-hitters think.

God bless, Jon.

To keep things simple I'd go with a peptopro, Gatorade, killer qc and electromuscle combo for pre/post wo. As for bedtime nothing beats straight monster v...super slow digesting

Thanks to both of you for your input. I am definetly taking both suggestions into consideration. i do have an idea however that may allow me to make an anytime blend while being able to also benefit from a mix that would be most (and only) beneficial as a postworkout shake. Would it be a good idea to stick with the idea of making an anytime blend with a mix of proteins that disolve slow, medium and fast so that i could take it directly after a workout and get the instant absorption i need, but also be able to take it before bed to get the slow absorbing protein to keep me anabolic while my muscles grow in my sleep? now, in addition to the anytime blend...what if i were to take a mix of carbs/fats/vitamins that are beneficial right after a workout (and only benficial right after a workout to accomplish my goal of getting lean and build muscle) and mix it to this "anytime blend" i have created. thus, manipulating it to be more of a preworkout supp. and when i do not mix the carbs/fats and any other supplements from this "add to" mix i have created, into the protein, it will remain a great "anytime blend". is this a good idea or stupid? any ideas of how to break this up? which products to use for the anytime blend? which carbs/fats and other supps to have ready to mix to my anytime blend to focus it more as a postworkout?

Yup..good idea. I always purchase everything I need seperately and use in different combinations to address any desired effect

**beefstick81** · 03-01-2011, 10:37 PM

That's definitely what I plan on doing I just need some advice on the ingredients. Jonlinse81 suggested a pretty nice combo. What would u suggest I use in the mix...proteins, carbs, fats, supps??

**djones** · 03-02-2011, 08:53 PM

Get u some peptopro, monster, killer qc, electromuscle, oatmuscle and omega muscle. Peptopro, killer, electro plus Gatorade for pre/post. Monster, oat muscle and omega for anytime mix. Also check out the extensive list of ready made formulas for a ready made combination.
