USP winning my cupboard space, whos winnign yours?

[Toff]

So after multiple samples and purchases from other companies, Im seeing a trend in my cupboard - USP are dominating my cupboard and are now the benchmark. Ive tried samples from all major players, poor results from bulk UK stuff despite good attempts.

Despite being in the uk and harder to source, im seeing no better than USP for:

* My Pre-workout (jack3d 3d, new one... everything esle is too stim heavy or wont let me sleep or tastes like *ss, this tastes amazing, not sweet and good middl egorund.
* My nonstim preworkout (AMAZING btw) - Max REPS + Nitro - taste again amazing and i couldnt believe the endurance and ingrediants list.

My BCAA was with mutant, not bad but too sweet and makes me feel sicky, adding in some sour apple Controlled labs Green Mag makes it bearable
So, BCAA probably going to be USP next...

Creatine currently UNIVERSAL/Green MAG (love taste and pump)/ Mutant kong/USN as Im using up what I have, again checking out USP to see what they can offer

Creatine possibly going to be green mag or USP for the long term.

What about you? What fillign your shelf?

I like PES stuff but the value isnt there - still got some original Alphamine and it Erase was good to me, so keen to try their High Volume

 

[TommyTuffGuy]

Mostly Olympus Labs and Controlled Labs.

 

[kisaj]

It's a vendor buffet. A little of everything.

This. Predominately ruled by OL, evomuse, and controlled labs.

 

[AntM1564]

It depends on what category.

Protein - PES Select and USP Labs Modern Protein. I would say it is 60/40 Select though

General Health - Controlled Labs, Swanson, Evomuse

Creatine - PowerMax XT

Stim Pre workout - I have many that I rotate based on the stim content so I don't have one in particular I go to there

Non Stim - VasoMax

I really like the taste of Chocolate Modern Protein and I have been wanting to try the Carmel Cookie Stix. Have you triet it and if so how does it taste?

[shockrock3]

Mostly stuff I can't mention here

 

[Run579]

PES, Kaged Muscle, and Nutrabio at the moment.

 

[Driven2lift]

Have yet to try High Volume?!

Seriously missing out sir.

My stash is a healthy mix right now but my Select protein stash dwarfs the rest

 

[danielmoo]

Scivation, Gaspari, and a couple of Cellucor products. I am lacking in diversity

Sometimes you don't need diversity. Out of the dozens of supplement companies out there, I only use a select few. This is based off quality, price and customer service.

 

[pbandy1]

A little bit of Biotest, Pure Encapsulations and Life Extension.

 

[Toff]

I find if i like two products i make myself like the rest... anyone else find that/

otherwsie its exhausting starting over finding a product for each category.

 

[johnl1800]

Almost entirely Olympus Labs for me (ORIG1N, TR1UMPH, TEST1FY, K1NGS BLOOD, CONQU3R, IGNIT3).

Occasionally I'll pick up something extra like Follidrone 2.0 or EP1C when they are on sale.

 

[cubsfan815]

Performax Labs
Evomuse
SNS
PES

That's about it currently.

This is true. I've kind of narrowed it down to products that I'll use consistently and repeatedly over the years.

 

[CompeteNPC]

Protein - PEScience Select Peanut Butter Cookie and Snickerdoodle. Allmax Cinnamon French Toast and JYM Red Velvet Cupcake.

Pre workout - Blackstone Labs Dust V2, Performix IONI, Evogen Nutrition EVP Extreme. MPA Supplements Celluvol.

Multi Vitamin : Evogen Nutrition EVOVITE

BCAA : Scivation Xtend

Fish Oil : Advocare

CLA/Carnitine : BPI Sports

Fat Burner Thermogenic : Original formula Alphamine by PEScience

Creatine : Bodybuilding.com Foundation series

 

[EMPIREMIND]

True Nutrition, controlled labs, chaos and pain, PES select, and a very heavy portion of USP Labs. It seems like whenever I start running low they drop a stupid cheap sale and I fill back up again. Vanilla modern protein is by far the best I've had.

Also life extension and swanson

 

[Young Gotti]

No cabinet space, most of my closet is Mr Supps Whey Isolate, with some humapro, chain'd out mixed in....a few lg and gaspari products as well

 

[ZachH]

Which cabinet full we talking about here lol. Got a cabinet full of daily essentials, a bookcase full of pre workouts and aminos, a closet full of about 40 lbs of protein, a suitcase full of extra/stockpile daily essentials, 3 boxes full of natty anabolics/fat burners/topicals, and 4 drawers full of non natty/cycle assist supps

 

[Yomo]

Only thing I'd consider a staple would be Green Mag for creatine...everything else is whatever's on sale...only use Pre w/o's twice a week, and just bought MP Assault for $16.99 30 servings..I go with Vitamin Shoppe Whey Tech 24 every time it's BOGO 1/2 off, usually buy 20lbs every time...otherwise spend 99.9% of my money on quality food.

 

[mbonheur]

Carbs - UK bulk supplier
Protein - Dutch bulk supplier
Creatine - olimp/UK bulk supplier
Amino acids - UK/Dutch bulk supplier
Vitamins, etc. - Son of a Swan
Natural "performance" enhancers - OL, Performaxx, Myokem, etc. I like to switch around
- Adaptogens - different specialized sellers

Btw I tried a lot of brands, etc. and I sincerely question that you got less results with bulk suppliers. There are many reputable companies out there with COA and lab tests.

If you prefer PES or whatever brand for its taste, etc. go for it, but I don't believe that it will make a "significant" change with regard to performance
