Supplements

[vladdy#27]

that's $26 worth on bb.com. it's not a bad deal, but I've never used groupon. I think it's legit though.

I've used groupon a couple of times and my sister uses it all the time

I was more talking about the Creatine

[DLeeicious]

pre workout supps are no good with me. got a free sample of c4 (or something like that) so figured why not and tried it this morning. Had the opposite effect on me, I felt lethargic after taking it. Still hit a PR and feel it would have been 2 more reps if I didn't feel so ******

[Thumper 88]

There not for me either

Alright guys I am in need of supp advice.

Down at school I was a gym regular from 2008-2011. Since moving back to Chicago though and starting work I had completely gotten away from it, just because of a total lack of time. Last week though I finally got around to signing back up at a gym, and am re-dedicating myself. Now here's my predicament...

At school I basically followed the routine of my roommate from day 1. He was a workout freak, maxed on all the machines, it was/is his life. So I would just do all the same stuff he did, but less of it, and I would throw him some cash every month to partake in the supplements he was using, never buying any of my own.

So that's a full year ago now, and I need to make some purchases on my own. What I'm specifically interested in is the best of the following for the least amount of money. That is to say, I don't need the absolute best on the market if it costs some insane price, I just want the most bang for my buck.

Basic protein (I always used whey, but I've heard good things about alternatives)
Creatine
Something for post-workout.

Also fwiw all his stuff was flavored vanilla or cookies 'n cream, and so I really developed a taste for those two flavors. So in your recommendations, if you know of stuff that fits that mold, that'd be great.

And finally I need a reliable site at which to purchase this stuff.

Thanks in advance for the help.

I use gold standard whey protein, $53 for 5 lbs. I just started optimum nutrition creatine, 600g for $20 (, its made with creapure which is supposedly a better quality creatine mono. I'm very happy with both of them, and don't see myself changing it up.

[Thumper 88]

Yep I also use on products 10lb whey for under $100 4lb casein for $53 1000g creatine mono creapture $20

Thanks for the quick responses guys. I probably should've mentioned (atleast for the purpose of post-workout stuff) that I'm 6'0 180 and looking primarily to bulk. My arms aren't even recognizable from what they were a year ago and it saddens me.

As far as the stuff you guys listed so far two questions:

1. Available flavors?

2. Website recommendations?

I pretty much just bang on double chocolate. I used to get vanilla sometimes when i'd make a shake w/ bananas and strawberries and ice.

I actually get the protein from vitamin shoppe. I haven't found it for cheaper online anywhere. The price for the creatine was also a vitamin shoppe price, but I think you can get it from amazon for a few bucks cheaper.

bodybuilder.com is a pretty trusted site with good prices, i've just never used it myself.

Rebirth I appreciate the find but I don't have almost $200 to drop on a stack at the moment, unfortunately.

As for this though...

That looks like a pretty good deal. Can anyone recommend or vouch for this particular protein? If I could get one or two people to back it up as good then I'll probably go ahead and order it today.
