Also I have just started back at the gym doing weights in the last few weeks. I currently weigh about 79kg and I'm just shy of 6 foot. I would like to weigh closer to 85kg. I have a bit of fat around my midrift but apart from that I'm reasonably lean. Would it be wise to get the creatine tablets with this offer?

never heard of them.

thats the website there.
it comes in at 53% protein per serving, I can't find ingredients listed and it only has one review and thats a bad one.

I was looking at these too this morning. First time looking to use protein supplements so be good to know if these were decent.

RRP €155??

Get the f£ck out.

This stuff isn't even worth the deal price.

Wouldn't use.

There was a comical thread on muscle talk recently where they advertised their sale but find out all their labels were wrong and I didn't really know what they were doing.

Its pretty bad, the whey is only 53% protein. To put it in perspective you can get 2.5kgs of ~75% protein delivered to your door for 45 euro (often with a free shaker). The creatine you can get for 18 euro (180 caps for 14 euro) - that works out as a total of 63 euro for .25kg extra whey that contains almost 50% more protein. Given that you buy protein shakes for protein its a no-brainer.

edit: if you buy the whey online in 5kg or 10kg bags its even cheaper per kg.

If the ingredients are in brackets the highest amount doesn't have to go first. I would always been suspect of blends unless they state the percentages added

runawaybishop

Container Size: 2.25kg
Serving Size: 1 scoop
Servings per Container: 50

Whey Matrix Protein Amount per 45g Serving:
K cals/K: 146 k cals
Protein: 24g

1 euro a scoop for 24 grams of protein is roughly what it works out at. I pay just over 50 cent for 24 grams.

bulkpowders or myprotein are the most competitive on price, fitness ireland are also decent.
