You should have it by Friday. Assuming everything goes normally, it will be at the post office tomorrow morning and at your front door on Friday.

Has anybody tried the pre-workout supplement 1MR (1 More Rep)

I think I read that it has 300mg of caffeine per serving which is approx equivalent of 3 espressos

I asked about Jack3D a few days back.I didn't get a huge response so I should have copped something up at that. Anyway against even the guy in the shops advice I ended up coming away with N.O. Explode.
Followed the instructions... first time I got a small bang and an unusually sweaty work out.
next time I got a really hard pump on and a great work out. ( full dose )

Time after - nothing, and nothing again today.

don't waste your cash.

If your feeling a bit lethargic before you go to the gym - have 3 expressi and hit it hard.

I actually use jack3d - two scoops at 6am as I go to gym first thing in morning

I find it good at that time of the day anyway

seemingly N.O. Explode has a tendency to do that.

I think I may be immune to these pre work out supps as I drink on average 6 - 8 cups of coffee a day.

I'm sorry I didn't buy Jack3D originally as now I am wondering what its like, but I'm not wasting any more cash on these I dont think.

That stuff is tastes truly awful ( strawberry and vanilla at least ) - myprotein or this crowds stuff is cheaper and from my understanding much better quality.

I cannot vouch for the taste of the Nutrisport one but MyProteins is streets ahead of H&B's one.

There is 1.3 dimeth as well as caffeine in Jack3d so it gives you a slightly wired feeling. Dimeth is I think what that man City player Kolo Toure tested positive for recently but not 100% sure of that - it is on the banned list of WDA since 2009

I throw it in a smoothie maker with various berries and a banana so the taste isn't an issue. MUst have a look at the ones you recommend though.

I've made multiple purhcases from iHerb, as have a lot of people on Boards.ie.

I've never heard first hand of any problems.

I have a discount code which will get you $5 off your first order as well. It's ROR319.

The Guvnor

For some reason a lot of normal sites come up with the word scam as well. I have never ordered from i-herb but a few on here have and the consensus seems to be that they are fine!

Oliver Cookson said: “I have immensely enjoyed the journey of helping to build Myprotein into the market-leading business it is today and I am truly excited at the prospect of joining forces with The Hut Group, which is a business I have admired for a number of years."

He added: “Myprotein's range of award-winning products coupled with The Hut's leading technology platform and expansive customer base will help take Myprotein a step closer to becoming Europe's leading sports nutrition brand.”

Matthew Moulding, chief executive of The Hut Group, said: “The addition of Myprotein to The Hut's operating platform is another milestone in our ambitions to become one of Europe's leading online players.

hmm, makes you suspicious.... what's to say that the people who join boards.ie to pump their new supplement websites don't join with other usernames posting 'scam' articles about the competitors?

I've a recent order from iHerb for which I've the form to collect it from the post office (wasn't in at delivery time).

In general, delivery seems to take 7-10 days so you need to take this into account when ordering.

I use them for Fish Oil and Multi-Vitamins.

The Guvnor

I don't know - it's possible but why bother?

Where I saw it a few times was when google auto-completes for you.

You get the site and a few others but then you also got the site plus scam/scams as well.

I'll admit it does throw you and if less experienced online you'd definitely avoid the site as a result.

Google auto-completes ranked by the most popular searches - so somebody is checking that a lot.
"No smoke without fire some say", personally I'd give it a go once with a small order, if that was ok, I'd happily continue.

The Guvnor

I've seen the scam tag a lot where sites have autoship orders - a bit like a direct debit where cancellation is not as easy as some would have thought.

I am seriously considering becoming a vegetarian.

Have been doing a lot of reading about the links between dairy and cancer, eating meat and ill health etc

However, I love my food. Especially chicken, lean meat, eggs and fish. It will be hard enough to replace all them. I also use a good bit of protein after the gym and recovery drinks after team training.


What Soya based protein powders are out there?
Are there vegetarian recovery products?

Isn't that veganism?

The Guvnor

There are a few soy protein isolates out there.

On the +ve it can be 90% protein. The main negative for most people will be that it does not and will not taste quite the same as whey.

Soy can vary wildly - some can leave a gritty film on your teeth and others are a bit smoother.

Personally I'd never go vegetarian but it's a personal choice.

My sister is a recent vegan convert. she moved to sweden and really got into it. all her skin problems has cleared up and she's like a rake.

To be honest, its not so much the meat issue that i've a problem with (seeing as Irish meat is generally well prodcued and not full of crap) its the amount of dairy intake and the relation between that and various cancers.

So I want to cut down on all my dairy.
Milk changed to soya, butter to soya, no cheese (:()
and change my whey protein powder

Where could I source Soy Protein or any other alternatives??

Hi,

Here is myProtein's range of Vegan proteins: http://www.myprotein.com/ie/cats/protein/vegan-protein and here is one of Iron Science's products: http://www.ironscience.co.uk/proteinpowder/soyaproteinisolate.html

With a £14.89 flat delivery charge (for orders under £200) with Iron Science but cheaper prices, they are better for large orders.

myProtein are only €4.95 for delivery but their products are more expensive making them better for smaller orders.

If using My Protein, feel free to use the discount code MP289427 (this is my personal discount code). If using Iron Science, use MT5 (this is a site wide discount code and unrelated to me personally).

Both will get you 5% of your first order.

Anyone here ever hear of Carnivor by MuscleMeds? There are a couple of lads at my gym raving about it. It's engineered beef protein or something. Just wondering what the thoughts on it are

Black Sheep

Satanta-

No direct experience of it's like Must admit a fruit-flavoured meat/plasma-derived protein drink doesn't strike me as particularly appetising but then again whey isn't exactly amazing when you get down to it either.

I'm coming more and more to the point of view that there are many protein supplements out there that will provide the protein required, and that what distinguishes them mainly is just going to be (a) price (b) ease of availability (c) mixability and (d) the most subjective and possibly most important thing of all ... taste. If someone 'raves' about something I take it that they like it on one of the above grounds as opposed to have found that they suddenly gained a few KG of muscle and can trace it back specifically to that product?

dumbbell

Anyone on hear any feedback? have a jar of these and between two minds to try them out hearing bad things from fat burners. am seeing good results from work out so far .. would these speed things a bit or are the side effects to drastic ? not finding a whole of bad effects on google .. only the usual jazz of jitters / sleep and stuff which i can handle its unknown damage to liver / kidneys am afraid of


anyone any positive / negitive feedback ?

gymsoldier

You bought these, yet you were in two minds about taking them?

Any who, I've known of a few people to use Oxyelite and loose a good bit of weight while taking them. Main complaints were the "shakes".

But why bother?

Just get your diet dialed in and you'll drop the pounds as easy.

true but he might not want to lose weight, they can be used for cutting up and getting ripped also.

if you find it hard to drop your body fat these will help along with a good diet and training program.

i cant give you much feedback because iv only started taking them this week meself, im looking to cut up and lower my body fat.

go to bodybuilding.com there's plenty of feedback on it.
