Musclemilk!!

[flamingsoulz]

how good is musclemilk?i was thinking about buying 2 jars thats 5lb from gnc since its basically half price at 47.99 and i just checked it at the site not long ago....

 

[TripDog]

if its the original one there is waaaaaaaaaaay to much fat in there.......you may as well go to steak and shake and get a milkshake..........look for a good low fat low carb whey isolate .....cant beat the best...and dont judge quality by taste.......good protiens usually dont taste as good..

 

[flamingsoulz]

so far i've only tried on 100% whey vanilla ice cream but does musclemilk actually help bulk up?

well i just noticed your 14....so what are your goals right now?...at your age your metabolism should be rather high...how much do you weigh? food is the best thing to bulk,when i was your age and i wanted to bulk i ate peanutbutter sandwiches everynight before bed....do you weight train currently?

Muscle Milk is about perfect on the anabolic diet.

If you are within your carb allowance for the day, the 12 grams won't hurt you and it's a good before-bed option. However, i'd save it for before bed while on the anabolic diet, because you want to be sure that the carbs in MM won't put you over the edge.

right now i want to gain lean muscles...i weigh 135pounds and im on a break on weight training since my forearm is still injured and my neck hurts

 

[dhuge67]

Ahh, it has been rebranded to become more mainstream sounding, but the original Anabolic Diet is now the Metabolic Diet.

The Metabolic Diet - Obviously, ignore the supplement ****. It's a good diet, but the guy is obviously trying to make his living off of a supplement line rather than by selling books.

Well you aren't going to gain muscle simply by supplementing with a protein powder, if you aren't lifting...

And at 135 lbs, I doubt you're on Anadrol.

that looks good buddy...remember to try to get some protein in as soon as your done lifting....a shake preferably,or a bar is a good second option......hit it hard man!!! good luck

 

[djbombsquad]

I though it was garbage. I personally did not like it.

 

[MentalTwitch]

I liked it. But get or make a gainer. As sad as it osunds i liked BSN True Mass alot. I know have ProComplex now. Like Trip said though taste means nada. MM is usually voted on of the top 3 best tasting.
I never did get my hands on some A.I. Isolate, oh yea it's casue prices would have rapped me. :blink:

 

[pistonpump]

muscle milk is good if you are 135lbs. youll love it. you can add it to oats too.

 

[gdbear65]

Musclemilk is supposedly formulated to mimic the effects of ingesting human breast milk. They've got some great flavors. My favorite is mocha joe.

Forget GNC, unless you are looking to spend more than you have to.

Muscle Milk Naturals (2.48 lb) By Cytosport

i only buy at gnc if i REALLY have too....there prices are ridiculous.........

nutraplanet is the snaps!!!!!.....i get my stuff in like 3 days

 

[flamingsoulz]

i kno gnc is a rip but right now its 47.99 for a 5lb jar which seems pretty good to me and if i buy from nutraplanet it will be about $54 total with shipping

im going to just buy 1 jar for now

 

[pistonpump]

see but with the 5lber you cant change flavor half way so choose wisely grasshoppah!

 

[bioman]

MM is pretty good for bulking but drop it when you want to cut. Adding oats will slow or inhibit fat absorption slightly.

 

[jonny21]

2-2.48lb MM @ Nutraplanet = 39.98 + shipping = 48.98 no tax unless you same state as them.

Your call though. It is an excellent choice for you.

 

[smiththrs03]

muscle milk has too much fat but it tastes like a dessert if you get it get it muscle milk light

 

[dhuge67]

Fat is good for you.

[smiththrs03]

not 8 grams of saturated fat senor

 

[dhuge67]

not 8 grams of saturated fat senor

Eh, that's not too big of a deal. I'd say that the 6g of Sugar in it is far worse, especially for someone who is into building muscle.

 

[smiththrs03]

all in all go with a good whey protien

 

[TripDog]

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh............no!

 

[dhuge67]

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh............no!

Uh, yes. You need to read more about fat and how important it is (even sat) to boosting T (among other things) to high-natural levels.

The Anabolic Diet works for a reason.

Muscle Milk is a good cheat protein source, especially before bed. If you're on a 30 g of carbs or less diet, then MM is great, but only if you have the carbs (12g) to spare.

8 grams of sat fat is almost all you should have in you entire day not to mention the heart risks

maybe you need to read the quote i comented on......no sh*t fat is healthy.....not saturated fat!!!!!.Dude im a certified nutrition counselor.....trust me your not gonna teach me anything:hammer:

 

[Iron Warrior]

Well dude, you're 14 and MM won't really be that detrimental to you right now but you should build good habits right now and stick to solid foods with limited amounts of protein powder or MRP's. You'll be better off in the long run but hind sight isn't always 20/20 when you're 14. I personally think Lean Mass Matrix is a better option then MM.

 

[dhuge67]

maybe you need to read the quote i comented on......no sh*t fat is healthy.....not saturated fat!!!!!.Dude im a certified nutrition counselor.....trust me your not gonna teach me anything:hammer:

Well, I don't think you should carry around that attitude, regardless of if it's true or not. You might be surprised and maybe I could teach you something...

If I were a nutrition counselor, I would make it a priority to read up on the Anabolic Diet because it's a real solution for a lot of people's fat gain problems; especially those with the propensity to be fat. And on that diet, Sat Fat (while not the preferred source of intake, obviously) is about as big of a deal as Kenny Lofton being traded again.

Your last sentence speaks volumes as to the problem with this diet.

I have read up on it. And I would not recommend it to anyone looking for a long term solution. I have to deal with the results of these "Fad" diets constantly. Please do not try to convince me as I am sure that I am as qualified, if not more qualified, than those where you seem to be getting your information.

This diet is not a good lifelong diet. I would recommend if you are resolved to continue, you treat it like a CKD

I'm not really concerned with your personal belief that it is not a lifelong possibility as a diet. Many people have adopted it and it has given them great results, not only externally, but internally.

Conventional wisdom is called 'conventional' for a reason; it is what is GENERALLY done or BELIEVED. However, people tend to discover things anecdotally, long before studies or governing bodies get around to "deem" such dietary habits as safe, effective, and possible for the long-term. In some cases, it's good to radicalize what you think you know, and you may be surprised to find radical results.

I side with those who have extrapolated that this diet is applicable to those who have had problems dealing with their body in how it responds to carbohydrates and the subsequent insulin response.

Of course there's more than one way to skin a cat, but this a darn good one and you shouldn't dismiss it even if you have "read about it."

 

[bioman]

You both have good points, however the thread originator is 14 and should have zero problems with some extra sat fat. When I was that age, I ate pretty much pure fat, high fructose corn syrup and french fries all the time and still couldn't put on weight..bf or otherwise. I think the take home message for our young friend right now is upping his protein and overall calorie intake no matter what it takes.

 

[Big BAMA]

I like how MM taste but the Fat content makes me shy away from it. There are better mixes out there that cost less and have less fat. If I need extra fat I'll grab my wifes fanny.

 

[musclemilk40]

muscle milk is for babies

muscle milk is for babies. If your under 20, drink it, if your over 20 you should graduate to something a little more advanced like intra pro from gaspari or syntha 6.

im out

 

[pushinweightw]

Whenever I have used it I always used 1 scoop MM and one scoop straight whey, for me it was a good mix.

 

[Frequency]

http://www.nutraplanet.com/product/1146/serious-mass.html

why not just go for this?

 

[musclemilk40]

why not go for a cup of pure cane sugar

Loaded with empty sugar calories thats why........serioumass is Serious Sugar!!!!!!!

 

[SureShot]

muscle milk is the best for bulking, nothin beats a mm shake and oats as a meal

 

[Frequency]

Loaded with empty sugar calories thats why........serioumass is Serious Sugar!!!!!!!

On the ON website says no added sugar and ive seen different sites put different amounts for the sugar content so what i want to know is what is the sugar thats in it and how much is actually in there

 

[flamingsoulz]

hmm quite a big conversation going on here lol.. isnt saturated fat good , trans fat=bad?? im confused and also im going to be only using it before bed and would 1 scoop be ok as a serving?

 

[JJC]

At 135 lbs, the amount of fat/sugar/etc will be pretty much inconsequential...especially since this kid is 14! Metabolism like whut.

I say, go ahead. Pick a flavor that looks tasty to you...cookies n cream is soooo good. But any of them will light up your tastebuds. Take a serving about an hour before bed or whenever you get hungry before bed. You clearly already have your mind set on buying one of them but it just seems like you need some affirmation since you might be new to supplements.

Since you are so young, you really don't need to complicate things by buying any more supplements. Maybe get yourself some multi-vitamins (Mom was always right about these...) and a whey protein to mix in some steel cut oats for after your workouts, but that should be it. Just eat like a beast and you will grow!

In the meantime, welcome to the board. When you've got time search the boards, read posts, and learn as much as you can...everything ranging from nutrition, training programs, and lastly supplements. When you hit the age of 18 then maybe (maybe) you can start picking up other supps. But you have some time til then...

Trans fat is really bad! I think it is beginning to be banned from restaurants in certain cities and many foods you will find in the grocery store will advertise that they are trans fat free....thank god things are changing!

Unsaturated fats are better than saturated fats. They are more easily broken down by the body because of the double bonds (the carbon atoms are not "saturated" with hydrogen atoms and thus must result in double bonding with neighboring carbons).

One scoop before bed would be fine. That will be about 150 calories if I remember correctly. So like someone mentioned before, you could mix in a scoop of whey to get all the protein you need. Or mix it with skim milk. But if you want to start putting on weight you could do the whole serving and depending on how many calories you need, you could use water or skim milk.

 

[flamingsoulz]

k thx : ) hey when do u take ur multivitamins? i usually take mine before bed.. or sometimes in morning if i didnt take it at the night before

 

[vision]

Sounds like this conversation took a left turn somewhere. No worries, your 14 MM is fine and it tastes good. When I started working out everything tasted like crap, now I'm used to all of it except ginkgo and excessive BCAAs, gotta cap them. MM cookies n cream tastes so good I consider it a cheat meal I love this stuff. Your right, trans fat=bad, eliminate it from your diet if possible the sooner the better. I'm not a nutrition specialist but I try to limit my Sat fat<15g daily usually ends up around 8-10g unless I'm using MM. Cycling with MM every once in awhile shouldn't be a problem at all. Start googling articles on mono-unsaturated and poly-unsaturated fats and learn about how beneficial they are and don't ever cut fat totally out of your diet. Fish oils are your friend.

Eat Healthy, Eat Big, Learn 2 Squat, Squat, then Squat some more, you'll be fine.
