I picked up a couple jugs of Monster Amino really cheap from GNC. For those who don't know, it's a blend of essential Aminos and a complex carb blend (I use it post-workout for the carbs and the recovery)... This is what pissed me off about the packaging...
In big bold letters, it says "Monsterize Your Workouts" and then I subscript goes on to say that this recommended stack is for hardcore athletes who want to be monsters... Here goes:
1 1/2 hours pre-workout: Monster Milk
15 minutes pre-workout: Monster Pump
During workout: Monster Maize
Immediately post-workout: Monster Amino
30min-1 hour post-workout: Monster Milk
You only do you need to take 5 different supplements to be a Monster... Seems a little ridiculous to me.
Another bone of contention I have is this... Assuming you follow that protocol and train a 5pm; you would take a shake at 3:30pm, and your last whole food meal would probable be around 2pm. You train for a a little over an hour, which brings you to 6:15pm, and you finish your post-workout supplement routine around 7pm. Assuming you know it's important to eat after you train, you make a meal and sit down to eat it at about 7:30-8pm. If you follow what I just laid out (and what CytoSport would like you to follow) you would have gone almost 6 hours without a whole food meal.
I find this to be absolutely ludicrous.
