But hey, once a year right!? Gotta do it!



I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain...

The tendons are ripped in my arm. Just needs to heal. I saw a chiropracter a few years back but he was a quack. I know there are good ones but for the money I don't feel comfortable w/out a really good reference now!

Yeah, it's Optimum Nutrition. 10lbs for like $45 or something like that. Lasts awhile!

Holy crap! I got 5 lbs for 25... Where did you buy yours? I would hit 400 grams a day easy with that much!

I think I will start taking Met-Rx once my optimum runs out.

www.1fast400.com buddy! I don't know much about Met-rx, but I thought that was more expensive

Yea Met-Rx is way more expensive. It is a better protein though.

You think? I've heard great things about Opt. Good enough for me, specially with the price.

I KNOW! haha. Met-Rx and Dorians are the two best proteins available. Met-Rx was developed for people with muscular distrophy. So there was a lot of science that went into it. Plus it tastes way better than optimum. But its thick like cake batter mmm

No. I got a shaker that has this plastic screen thingy in it... Like a grate kinda. I put the powder in and then milk and shake it up. The grate eliminates the lumps in it so it is thick and smooth.

I got the shaker when I bought my Nor-II from www.tigerfitness.com. Has a blue lid and says SCI-FIT on the side.

Have you tried it with Met-rx? My experience with that wasn't a positive one. Very thick

Yup I have. It works really good. Like I said the grate makes it come out thick and smooth

I tried it in my normal shaker, and there was no way in hell it would work... gotta have the grate thingy.

Met-Rx is a meal reaplacment shake (and yes it tastes damn good). Rock, the Optimum nutrition you are taking is JUST whey protein. it doesn't have as much stuff (cals....carbs etc) as the Met-Rx.
