Topic: Protein shake

[tombb]

this looks like a massive gimmick dude...

ingredients don't even list the kind of protein included...and this blood doping shit is nonsense!

I am absolutely agreeing with Chris on this one, I'm not sure what "Blood Doping" is supposed to mean but the only thing I can come up with is BS.

A quote directly from the linked site: "EPO Blood Doping Technology-Triggers Powerful Anabolic Hormone For Extreme Muscle Pump And Vascularity!"

Robert, you'd be much better off just going to a GNC (or stores like it) and picking up some whey protein shake mix, fast, easy, to the point.

Bryan, those are perfectly normal marketing hype terms, like any other made-up-sounding terms, say "super-duper charged", "young and fresh and dope" or "now with eXXtreme(TM) buzz power".
They are not a reason to trust or distrust something, any product is still just as good or bad regardless of the marketing people decide to put on it.
I could come up with a similar campaign for eggs, milk or strawberries and it wouldn't make them any worse. You shouldn't stop eating strawberries just because I say they are "Berrytastic Technology-Triggers Powerful Vitamins For Extreme Nutrition!"..

Ultimately you just have to see past the marketing hype and just look at what the product is, look at the ingredients and what they do or don't do, and whether it's a good value for the price.

I am sure that one is probably a decent vasodilator and creatine supplement, I would guess probably overpriced, but still not something you need to run away from just because of marketing hype added to it (for example, anything that contains sugar can technically say "triggers powerful anabolic hormone", because that's true, insulin is definitely both powerful, an anabolic hormone, and triggered by sugar...)

Just to reiterate, however, it's not a protein supplement at all, so I am not sure why it was even mentioned.

Haha yeah chris I don't take it. A Muscly guy who's trained with us a few times takes that and I was making fun of it when I read the label.
I think he takes steroids too cause he told me how I should watch the documentry "Bigger Stronger Faster"

I don't see how that suggestion says anything about whether someone takes steroids or not. Documentaries in general are a good way to learn more about things and that one in particular brings up interesting points especially about things like sleeping at high altitudes and how the definition of unfair performance enhancement can get very misguided and arbitrary.

But again I still have no idea of why you just linked to it since once again it is not even a protein supplement. Aside from the hyped marketing, the effectiveness of creatine and things like glutamine and aspartic acid are well established and there's really nothing bad or silly about them.
