As always, here are my thoughts on this week's sale items:
Muscle Research Whey Isolate 6 lb. Bundle:
This has been my go-to protein for a decent while ever since we released it. Both flavors are great and the profiles are fantastic. When you look at the price point on this and factor in free shipping, it's a great deal. You're getting a very low calorie protein with a stellar flavor. The vanilla is very subtle, yet tastes great. One thing I've yet to do, but plan to, is add in a bit of cinnamon. It's also great for cooking -- adds the protein and nice flavor without any extra calories from sugar and fat. The chocolate is still subtle, but a bit stronger than the vanilla. The best way I can describe it is the same flavor as like a Swiss Miss hot chocolate. Seriously. I even toyed with warming some up with a splash of milk and adding in some marshmallows. Too warm now for that, but I may dust that off next Winter. These proteins are also great to take a stronger flavored protein and add just a bit of that to this to experiment, too. The PES Select white chocolate mint (peppermint) that they released for a limited run in the Winter was too strong for me, but I love half a scoop of it to 1.5-2.5 scoops of chocolate MR Whey Isolate -- phenomenal. I'd imagine our Yo Whey pumpkin spice would be great with a half scoop to scoop added to some of our vanilla isolate and the strawberry, as well. Excellent product to pick up.
Human Evolution Dragon Override:
This is not one I’ve had a chance to use yet since we brought Human Evolution into the MR store. I’ve heard really good things about the AMP Citrate version. This one does not have the AMP Citrate, but it’s not a bad profile. It’s a prop. blend, which I hate lol, but in your matrix just over 5g, you’re getting: creatine, beta alanine, AAKG, agmatine, caffeine, NMT, choline, hordenine, yohimbine, synephrine, and higenamine. Again, it’s hard to say without knowing specific amounts/doses, but I do like the profile (the one exception being AAKG which I hate and am surprised to see still hanging around in formulas). Anyway, it should do okay on pump with the agmatine and should be on point with focus and energy with the rest of that matrix (and solid with endurance with the beta alanine). Not a bad looking formula and if the flavoring is good, that cherry lemonade should be pretty tasty. Nice time to grab it now when it’s under $30 shipped to your door to test it out!
Premium Powders GABA:
Great price on a bulk product to help with mood, relaxation, reduction of anxiety, and improved sleep. In addition, this qualifies for the $5 addition of a flavor tub, which you may not need for this, but is great for making your own pre or intra products. Great staple product to have around. I used this for a couple months back in the Winter when my sleep was lacking a bit. I don’t particularly suffer from sleeping problems, but this stuff knocked me out and when I was out for the night, I wasn’t up til morning and definitely felt a deeper sleep. Hard to pass up for less than $20 shipped!
Transform Forged Joint Support:
This one has definitely been a favorite for many, especially on cycles. You’re getting your standard ingredients in glucosamine, MSM, and chondroitin, but also cissus (which is my favorite), quercetin, and turmeric. This is a very cost-effective product and even though this is a smaller savings, it’s a tried and true product. So if you know you’re gonna need it, might as well grab a few and multiply that savings.
Premium Powders Caffeine:
120 caps of 200mg caffeine for under $10 shipped to your door. That’s a great deal right there. I have a little travel cooler that I use for roadtrips and work trips. I actually keep a bottle of this in the zipper pouch of it. It has come in super handy when I’m driving on hour number 9 and ready to pass out. Obviously you know the benefits of caffeine. So whether you’re looking to add this to an ECA stack and cut up for cheap or just trying to get some extra energy, this will beat out Mountain Dew every single time (and be substantially cheaper).
