Protein Factory?

[miked8c]

Has anyone had any experience with this website? Would you recommend it? I am trying to get a protein that offers the most effective recovery without too much fat gain. In other words I am not trying to purely gain weight, I want to be putting on as much LBM as I can with as little fat as possible. So a gainer formula is not what I am looking for, but instead a powerful protein formula that will expediate my recovery and help fuel my gains without making me fatter.

Would protein factory be a good site to look into?

All the protein formulas that I have used from protein factory (like Big Blast) are strict gainers. They have way too much sugar and simple carbs to be anything but, even with a high insulin sensitivity I couldn't keep it from going to my gut.

So if I were you, I would look into something else. Protein Factory makes great shit, I just haven't seen any of their products that meet the needs that you're looking for.

HOWEVER, with that said, the new protein customization they do is fucking awesome. You can do whatever you want to your formula. So you could also try that......I have yet to try it.

Just ordered a pound of my own customized protein so I'll let you know how it is!

They have actually added even more options onto there, and the guide even gives you good tips on how to make a good lean muscle gainer protein of your own.

But if cost is a factor, I might go somewhere else. A pound of my protein with 20% CFM Whey Isolate, 20% Egg White Protein, 10% Casein, 15% Hydrolized 520, 15% Glutamine Peptides, 10% Maltodextrin, and 10% Dextrose with vits and mins put me out 15 bucks a pound

But, then again, that means I dont have to do my own mixing, buy my own peptides, or a multi if i don't want to.......so I guess we will see if its worth it.

One thing I have noticed is that Alex Rogers (Protein Factory) is really big on post workout sugars.......like Maltodextrin and Dextrose. He recommends the your post workout shake be 40% of either of these, which is a ton of simple carbs that I personally just dont need.

But this new customization allows me to avoid some of that

Good company. Good products. And the customization is a nice touch.

However, people say that BIG BLAST has too much sugar and it really doesn't -- just enough to give that gycemic spike and to make it taste good. (As far as Im concerned, a zero sugar shake tastes like ass).

For leaning purposes you best bet might be GEAR. Eat cleanly and add GEAR for the extra aminos. Problem solved.

Have you tried shakes sweetened with xylitol?

I have a whey protein I mix with an egg white protein that are both sweetened with xylitol and they taste AWESOME

I personally like the way BigBlast tastes in real banana flavor, its really good. I took it before and never experienced tasting too sweet or too much sugars, and I also did not get any bloat or towards my gut.
BigBlast and Gear are key towards bulking.

It was a bit too sweet for me and I'm somewhat sugar intolerant.......so all 20g's of it went right to the belly.

But no question that it is awesome for bulking, and the super plasma serum in it is wicked for the price.

I heard that the with a dosage of Big Blat you are only getting 6 servings per lbs. which seems a little steep to me. Could I cut the dosage in half and still get results? I feel like this would better suit my goals, what do you think? Would this be a waste? I mean does that stuff has an excess of ingredients anyways? Sorry for sounding stingy haha.

Half a serving of Big Blast is still 24g of protein, so you could definitely do that.

Needto actually came out with a study in their newsletter that showed no significant jump in anabolism after 24g of protein post workout anyway, so lean-wise I would say yes, certainly.
