True Protein Custom Mixes

[joshetc]

I didn't mean that as a slam to you, cheath. I'm not sure if it came off that way or not... I was more or less just trying to say that a lot of people buy stuff without knowing much about it based on vendor advertising... For the most part, I think people would be better off avoiding supplementation until they get a good grasp on it all and have a solid diet.

joshetc,

LoL, Maybe I'm just a little off today but I'm trying to figure out if you're agreeing with my statement or telling me I'm a jackass that needs to read the FAQ

I agree with you, I think everyone else is a jackass for thinking sherdog is a corporate nutrition forum. We're not pushing products on people, we're giving people advice. They have to figure out on their own what they really need..

No worries Monger, Vedic, or Joshetc, I didn't take any of your comments as hostile. I tried to avoid blatantly asking for help without trying to help myself first, cause I know that's frowned upon. I'm actually just being the first one to admit that I don't know anything about any of this stuff. I'd love to learn and order my own custom things rather than paying the dumb mans price for proteins and Gatorade from the store, that probably isn't even optimal for my goals. But I think it can be somewhat complex, more so than some folks may make it out to be. And until I have a really firm grasp, I wouldn't want to presume knowing it at all.

I wish this company would list not only the ingredients to their pre-made's, but a purpose as well as that would appeal to guys who know about chemical make up, and guys who don't.

I'll try to do some reading on this stuff in the FAQ's in my spare time to try and educate myself. This is SO fascinating to me. Man, if only I could rewind the last 6 years when I first went into college and got into these kinds of things.

Btw trueprotein does have pretty interesting writeups on all of their ingredients. Reading berardi's columns on workout nutrition as well as the trueprotein custom thread on sherdog and some snippets on trueprotein will put you in the right direction in very little time.

IMO thats thats why i like trueprotein. Read up on certain supps, figure out which ones you want to try, and you can just try those particular ingredients in a mix. All the info is out there you just gotta spend some time and read.

Cytogainer is really good for the price. It has basically the same breakdown as the trueprotein formula I use, so I'm switching to that + a half tbsp of BCAAs as soon as I run out. Anyway:

30% dextrose
30% maltodextrin
15% whey protein isolate
15% hydrolyzed whey protein
10% BCAAs

Add 5g of creatine monohydrate to each shake.

3 75cc scoops is a pretty decent sized post workout serving. 12-14oz of water should be enough to mix it well.

edit: 15% hydrolyzed is only for taste, if you are manly, go with 30% hydrolyzed.

With that much sugar 30% hydrolyzed will not make a difference at all.

uhh what

Hes talking in taste. The stuff is real bitter, especially when you add BCAAs to the mix. I like my shakes to taste like dessert, so 30% hydrolyzed was a bit much for me. I think a lot of it has to do with the flavor you choose as well, chocolate doesn't hide bitterness as much as citrus flavors do.
