Muscle Milk Protein

[Fastlane]

Latest rave around the gym where I train "World's Gym" is this protein drink called "Muscle Milk" by CytoSport. Anyone have any experience with this product. Is it as cracked up as everyone is making it? I normaly use Myoplex, personally.

I like it. They have a lot of interesting flavors, and it would be a nice change of pace to get off that thick pudding-like Myoplex, don't you think?

The flavors are great, and it seems to work pretty well. The only problem I have with it, and the reason I stopped using it is the gas. I mean anybody in this sport eating the amount of protein we do is gonna have some gas, but this stuff took it to a whole new level. Talk about some gas pains. I gave 3 bottles of the stuff a try to see if my body got used to it, but it never got better. A few of my buddies tried it, and 3 out of 5 had the same problem I did. They didn't use it after their 1st bottle was gone, so they may have given up a little early. Give it a try. You may not have that prob.

just bought a can of it. Had my first shake today, taistes good. I mixed it with milk, but I thought is was a bit watery compared to other protein drinks I've used.

Where abouts in D-town do you live? I trained a couple of weeks ago at the Powerhouse Gym in Canton, and at Lifetime Fitness. Small world, eh?

My favorite protein shake ever! It's probably the extra fats, but it's the only protein shake that tastes just as good mixed with water as it does with milk... therefore, it's the only shake I can enjoy when I'm dieting. The banana cream is my fav. flavor... great taste and good results, though I do also use good old optimum whey about twice a day as well.

Optimum Nutrition has their version available. I believe milk proteins have their place in body building.

PEACE

nothing compares to it in my opinion, but it was a lot of fat that i didn't need....mixed great with water , btw.

Man, you are wasting your money on that stuff. It's decent stuff don't get me wrong. But there are companies out there where you can get custom blend protein powders. That is the route you want to go. I have not bought a off the shelf protein powder in three years.

I have used muscle milk for about a year now. Its the best protien i have ever tasted, and had the best results with. It can get a bit expensive if you consider that those jugs arent very large, but ive found its worth the money. TIP get the flavor Mocha Joe, has caffiene in it for a little pre workout kick

It is no match for the custom blends.

I used it for a year. So did a lot of my buddies that bb. I noticed that my bf% was getting worse and worse. Everything else in my diet was the same. I switched to Optimum and kept gaining muscle but started losing the fat. Told my buddies. They stopped using it and leaned out too. It tastes great but made me fat as hell!

When do you guys trypicall consume and how often?

 

[BionicBC]

Oh yea, and just because the fat content is high has nothing to do with making you FAT. Sugar makes you fat, not fat. Look at the Saturated fat content, its not high at all. Its full of Omega-3 fats, which are wonderful.

Not true.....but anyways. CALORIES make one fat.........not sugar, not fat, but calories and since fat has more calories per gram than any other nutrient, it's easiy to consume excess. Sure some foods are stored more easily, effect the body differently, but after all is said and done....caloires my friend and it has a lot of calories.

hell ya it's a small world. Powerhouse St.Clair Shores is nice, but I don't like the rubber coated weights. Besides that, that's one hell of a clean gym with nice equiptment.
