    Hey, think myprotein is doing double points all day tomorrow (Thursday) cause it's their 5th birthday or something. Got an email about it earlier...


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,793 ✭✭✭oeb


    Hey guys, I have just started loading creatine for the first time and I have a question.

    It was recomended that I mix it with a simple carb such as apple juice or grape juice. The problem is I don't particularly like either of them. Is orange juice appropriate?

    Whats the best mass/weight gainer available? Been workin out 3 days a week for about 2 months, with one week off (drink related ha), have put on about ~7-8lbs, with just body fortress protein and eatin more, should I just stick to this or get a weight gainer?

    Cheers

    The recommendation is due to sheer nastiness of the taste i would imagine, OJ would be grand.

    Afaik the simple carb (or possibly the acidic environment) increases the absorption of creatine and ye OJ is fine

    Awesome, I don't think I would have lasted another day of loading while mixing it with apple juice. Yuck.

    Hey man, firstly the size up is a good product and to answer your question about putting on fat, you will of course put on some weight and a % of that will be fat, if your diet is ok and your training your arse off you will be fine, if your trying to put on some size I would tell you now that it is impossible for get big without carry some junk in the trunk.

    Not mixing the waxy, to be honest with you I have never heard that and I could not imagine that be been true. You will of some crazy arse things but I would continue to mix if I was you..

    I've just finished the container of Nitrobolon I had, and went I went to the Polish supp shop in the Moore Street Mall, found that they now have a different one that's loaded with carbs.

    Does anyone know where the proper one is available?

    Hi EileenG
    which Nitrobolon is the right one ?

    http://vitaminshop.ie/shop/index.php?main_page=advanced_search_result&search_in_description=1&zenid=3ad3bc36edfaa8d9f8014e0afabe5ec1&keyword=nitrobolon

    After you identify the supp you you require I'd more than happy to point you in right direction to get one.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,775 ✭✭✭EileenG


    I think it's this one http://vitaminshop.ie/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=86&products_id=370, though the tub is a different shape from the one I had before.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,692 ✭✭✭Jarren


    ok. you can get this one from UK
    http://www.trec-nutrition.co.uk/nitrobolon-ii-powder-p-43.html

    they will be more than happy to sort you out

    Hi Eileen, I have just read the details about Nitrobolon and you take it 3 times a day would you not just consider something like NO Explode II wer you just take 2-3 scoops 30-40 mins before you train
    http://www.pronutrition.ie/products.php?action=product&id=97

    Anyone I know who has used both would definitely go for the Nitrobolon, and not because of the price difference either.

    I generally don't take it three times a day, usually before and after workouts. The first day I used it, I totally embarrassed my children by arriving at the end of a 10 mile cycle singing "Don't you wish your girlfriend was hot like me?"

    I've just looked at the ingredients, way too many carbs and calories for me. The Nitrobolon has almost none.

    It says best taken straight after your workout but my question is does anyone know if it is ok to throw this into your protein shake after training and take both together!!!
