I just picked up a box of BSN's Cellmass. Blue Raz "flavored."
This stuff tastes like drek.
Anyone know how to get this stuff down?
(my Si-Hing suggested vodka...um, no.)

I already opened the box, so I'm doomed to finish it....ugh..

Overpowering it with a different flavour? Chocolate?

Trying to bulk up?

What was it about this particular supplement that made you try it?

I wanted to stack creatine and bcaa's for post recovery/repair,etc from weight training.
I should've simply taken them separately, but NOOOOOO...

They did a study on recovery drinks you know...
I think Frost posted it in the health and fitness section.
Not sure how much you paid for that junk but you're end for a rude awakening as to what is possibly the best recovery drink.
LOL !

put it in a 16 oz can and pop a hole in it and shotgun it! or get a beer bong lol

can't find it, but I'm hoping it's beer.
(malt,hops,barley-great source of carbs! Alcohol is a vasodiolator so it should aid in rapid assimilation)

Branch Chain Aminos and Creatine are a little more involved than the stuff marketed as "recovery" drinks.

Post work out I like watermelon puree and young coconut water.

I take BCAAS pre and post workout, this is in lieu of protein supplementation; if anything I need to cut mass. I don't dose any where near what some advise, that sh it is taxing!

I probably should supplement with Creatine because I don't have a dietary source.

In the end the best supplement is food.

Chocolate milk?

Pour a coca cola in there, it's probably healthier than chocolate milk. lol
so much added sugar it's goofy what crap it is.

anyway...lol

I don't use supps.

whole food. eat within the first hour after a workout.

1/3 complex carb 1/3 protein 1/3 fatty goodies/ reg carbs

High Fructose Corn Syrup?

Only if you deep fry it in some partially hydrogenated oil.

If i'm not mistaken, the chocolate milk is such a good recovery drink because of the 4:1 ration of carbs to protein.

To me, this is only useful if you workout in the morning or midday. I wouldn't do it after a workout that is in the evening. But, that's just me.

you need fast acting, high GI carbs post-workout to replenish glycogen. it doesn't matter what time of the day you work-out. I mix dextrose and protein for post-workout which is at 8PM at might then I have a protein/fat (no carb meal) 1 hour later. I do the same thing even when dieting.

I wasn't questioning the fact that you need carbs after a workout. I never said that.

My point is that I am not going to drink a large glass of chocolate milk right before I go to bed because the carbs and protein aren't the only thing you would be consuming.

As long as you eat enough protein BCAAs are a waste of money, sorry

creatine is about the only supplement that studies have shown to actually be worth buying, the rest is normally marketing rap (beta alanine may be an exception time will tell)
