They got the base part of the cookie flavor right with this. IMO I could take a slightly stronger white chocolate flavor, but its there. Can't say I get much of a macadamia nut flavor. Could be a little bit better, but all in all this is a pretty solid. Won't have any problems getting through this tub.

It is OK, but I think they could have done a better job on the flavor.

@sns8778 my elbows are starting to get a little sore lately finally. 2023 has been a monstrous year for me and it's finally catching up. Its very mild to the point that likely, rest is an easy fix but I'm not ready for that lol.
if you were to pitch one favorite supp you have for the tendons what would it be?

Mine is traditional golfers elbow, the inside where the tendons attach it seems.

Joint Support XT is my overall favorite product for joints, tendons, ligaments, cartilage in the overall sense.

If it is a specific tendon/ligament issue, Cissus XT.

 

[sns8778]

So uhh, used 5 scoops already

I might have to try that flavor. I love White Macadamia cookie flavor. My only worry is that a lot of protein powders, including some of the PES flavors I tried years ago, hurt my stomach some - but I'm outside the norm on that. I'm so tempted.

I certainly didn't have any stomach issues with this one, granted, I can't really ever remember a protein truly upsetting my stomach since using a casein product back in like 2009 haha, so I'm not the best judge for that.

 

[baldwanus]

Local gas station is finally selling these. Held off for a long time trying these cause I didn't wanna get stuck with a 12pack I didn't like. Will bust these open tomorrow for softball, really looking forward to the Ring Pop one haha

Here's how I know I'm starting to turn into an old man.

I found a shoe I love, does not flare up my plantar fasciitis when I bring cardio into the routine, and lasts forever.... So I've bought the same shoe now a bunch of times since like 2016

Amazon man brought me my newest pair today

But they're also like..... 75% cheaper than going to a brick and mortar and buying the newer model of the same shoe

If it ain’t broke don’t fuckk wit it….

I’ve got the same issues and do the same thing. I’ve stuck with new balances for a long time. I’ve recently tried and am loving these higher end ASICS…(I get last years model, so it’s less expensive) I’ve also got my eye on some brooks. I do a lot of park walking etc

Totally agree Cissus XT is great for tendon/ligament issues especially when you start to feel that tennis
elbow flare up. I always keep in my tendon/joint supplement rotation.

Yeah I went to ASICS for my “dad shoes” a few years ago and they’ve been awesome when you find the right model for your needs.

Best thing I ever did for my benchpress was ditch the expensive Nike heeled shoes I used to use and just start benching in my daily driver ASICS I was already wearing. Not too tight, not too squishy, feet are happy & my body knows exactly what to do in them.

 

[Dustin07]

@Dustin07 I like the look of that shoe and the color, what model is it?

I've had really really good luck with all Sauconys including the 8s if you can get them, the Zealot 3s, and these are the cohesion 14s that I got for like $40!

How fast does that wear out? My experience with Saucony was that they tore or blew out really fast, a few months. I remember ripping the bottom pieces right off on a regular yoke run with one, and the other tore a side just general wear (not strongman).

My last pair of ASICS were $140, but they lasted over a year & a half of near daily abuse! Less than 10 bucks a month and incredibly comfortable.

When my plantar was a real issue and I was running a lot I was good about annual replacements. These ones I bought in 2018!

But after that run I had this week with my dog I realized I needed to step up my foot care.

I have flats, these, heeled lifters, and some nanos that all cycle through my gym bag depending on the day so they have been lasting much longer than usual since I haven't been doing cardio and change which shoe I wear every day.

Flats for deads, heels on squats, usually these or nanos on bench, etc

Ring Pop is pretty spot on to the candy, including the kind of thick/syrupy mouthfeel after eating one haha. I could see some people thinking it's too sweet, but good in my book.


Haven't had any of the new Axe & Sledge drinks yet.

Update: Smarties flavor is a bit mreh. It doesn't taste bad, its really just bland.

Not pictured, but also tried one of the Kool Aid fruit punch flavor from one of the other guys on my team, that one is REALLY good.

I was very disappointed in the flavor as well

I have bought cases of the the Ryse energy drinks a few times and one thing I've realized with the Smarties and Ring Pop ones is that certain cases taste different than others. Like some cases of Smarties have been spot on and then some have been weaker and I wish they had more flavor. Certain cases of Ring Pop ones were spot on, and certain cases tasted flat.

I like them overall though. They're not my favorite energy drinks overall, but I try to keep some of both flavors on hand for when I have a taste for them.

 

[sns8778]

That would be great. I would really appreciate that.

Being back to eating better, with my food allergies, I have to be so careful overall - that for me 'eating better' really equates to drinking a lot of protein, so I like to change up flavors to not get bored with whatever I have open. I've realized for me, if I get bored with a flavor, that's when I start missing shakes.

Out of curiosity... when you've had cases that taste a little different, was the can design the same for them? Best I can tell they've got new can designs from when it was originally released, wonder if there were subtle flavor changes after that. The Baja Burst one will be my next purchase, love the Mt Dew flavor. lol.

GHOST Swedish Fish and Cherry Limeade are still my go-tos flavor wise. Love those sum bitches haha.

Yes, it was the same design. That issue happened with them long before the can design change, but it does seem to happen more often now. Example, reading this post earlier gave me a taste for one of the smarties ones and I didn't even finish it bc it tasted flat.

For the Baja Burst, I would definitely advise getting 1 bottle before the case. I didn't like that flavor myself.

Those 2 ghost flavor ones are good. My actual favorites are a brand that most people here have probably never heard of - but Zevia Energy Drinks taste awesome. Their Pink Grapefruit and Raspberry Lime are 2 that I could never get tired of - I keep going back to them for several years. I also like that they are only 120 mg. caffeine per can because I prefer to space my caffeine out a little.

My daily routine is 2 scoops of Steves creatine + one scoop of arginine right when I get to work in 18oz of water. and another 2 scoops + another 18oz of water before usually 10am. the creatine is great cause it makes the water a little more interesting and gets the supp in the system...

We really desperately need to spread the word about the brands. We make a lot of great products, but just not enough people know about us, and we don't have the marketing budgets of the big brands.

As previously mentioned, the Kool Aid one is really good.

Baja Burst... it's not an exact copy of the Mt Dew soda, but it's not a bad imitation IMO. Hard to explain the difference, but in a blind taste test I'm certain I could easily pick them apart haha.

Still gotta try the Country Time and Sunny D ones.
