Stop Bitching About BIG BLAST!!!

[Nelson Montana]

I just saw that a competitor site now carried super plasma serum. Okay, at least they're catching up. Me and Alex were all over this stuff 5 years ago. Anyway, they want SIXTY BUCKS A POUND!

I told ya this stuff was expensive.

Okay, now BIG BLAST isn't 100% SPS...BUT...it contains other ingredients which are all top quality and not usually seen in other products of its kind.


So at $14 a pound I don't want to hear it's too expensive. It's the best stuff on the market and for what it is, it's a hell of a good deal.

big blast is by far the best protein powder i have ever tried. it is now the only one that i use. well worth the money.

Thanks bro, glad to hear it's working out for you.

 

[neilium21]

how do you order it, it gives a lot of options for added things, what is the best way. can u still take bcaas throughout the day, well ofcourse u can.. but is it just a waste with whats in big blast?

 

[DJ_UFO]

I have always been surprised, from years ago, and this is not the first time I make this comment, how in the world Big Blast hasn't become popular in the market. Or at least the idea for other companies. I guess it goes down to marketing.

 

[Nelson Montana]

I don't add any extras to it. The CFwhey is high is BCAA's. It contains aminogen.

The reason it hasn't become bigger is all down to advertising money. Muscletech has been able to sell mediocre stuff at high prices because they spend millions in advertising. Protein Factory is strictly word of mouth, so it's GOT to be good.

 

[rikishi]

$14 dollars a pound is not that much money for big blast. I pay $28.00 for 2 lbs of Egg Protein.

 

[1999TL]

BigBlast is the shiznit. I ordered off one site that had Chocolate 3 bucks cheaper. I'm a vanilla guy but I said screw it, I'll try it. The Chocolate tastes damn good. Ordering it again.

 

[joe d]

try the tropical orange. it tastes like desert when mae with milk. i usually get the doublw chocolate and i add everything to it. with the double chocolate i can still taste some sups. with the orange i cant taste anything other than an orange cream sicle it makes you want to drink another.

I keep hearing about tropical orange. I only see it off of Protein factory's site though. I guess I'm being a cheap skate and ordering off other sites to save a buck or two. I'll definitely try it out next. This is becoming my only protein I drink as well. I love how it doesn't fill you up.

 

[GDF]

The only protein I drink now is Big Blast. I was going through the 5 lbs bag so quick I now order 10 lbs. Tropical Orange is the best thing ever.

What differences have you observed from regular proteins with Big Blast??

I am interested in buying this and VP2 from AST..

VP2 isn't bad but I think the taste sucks. MuscleMilk is comparable in quality and much better tasting. BIG BLAST tastes great but is far superior.

BIG BLAST is most noticeable when bulking. You really feel like you're busting out of your skin after a couple of weeks. For maintenance, it's just really good insurance that you're getting top notch protein instead of crappy undigestible stuff found in a lot of commercial brands.

i make my big blast at the gym and drink it on my way out. sometimes i drink one when i first wake up also. after im done my w/o i feal weak and lethargic. i always went home and went right to sleap before. now that i am drinking big blast that fealing is gone before i even get to my truck. it tastes good and it does not fill me up at all. its crazy but with the lethargy feeling my muscles have an odd fealing like they are trying to find food or something. that is another thing the big blast fixes imediately that other shakes didnt do.

 

[dabuffguy]

It's too expensive.

Who cares if that guy is chraging 60 bucks a pound for plasma. He's just a moron then.

HMMM I like the sound of this.

 

[BlaXXXima]

Hey Nelson,

Can you order it in sizes other than one pound? All I get on the website is the option to buy 1lb tubs of Big Blast. I would like to give it a try, but the idea of shipping 10 1lb buckets up to Canada terrifies my bank account

I'd prefer to buy a 10lb bag of the stuff if possible (Big Blast that is).

Thanks

lolol. Big Blast is great, but I dont notice a difference between it and Monster Milk (which I think tastes better too). Call me a cheap bastard, but i only pay 24.00 for it with free shipping. Got to stick with Monster.

 

[Nelson Montana]

The reason for the high price is it's expensive. The reason it's expensive is it works. The very protein molecules are bigger and since they come from plasma they're instantly recognized and accepted. It goes beyond hydrolyzed or pre-digested. As for useable protein gram per gram, you get more from SPP than 10 times as much whey. So it's actually cost effective.

Blaxcima -- sure, you can place as big an order as you want. Talk to Alex or Melissa and ask for a break on bulk orders!

 

[ghostshadow]

I got 10lbs of the advanced muscle builder supposed to come my way tomorrow, I look forward to it. ordered a few pounds of big blast and was satisfied with it, seemed like pretty good quality.

figured today I would ordered up a couple pounds of the super plasma stuff, which seems like it's pretty good as well.

You are going hypo bro. At least that's how it sounds to me.

I am starting to heat things like this.

Some say casein-hydrolysate is great and you need 5 times as much whey to get that level of protein synthesis. Now you take this claim even further.

One question, some Layne Norton studies are showing that certain leucine level is necessary for maximum protein synthesis and with only 10 gram of protein per serving, in your case of super plasma, it is impossible to reach those levels.

What do you think bro?

It's not the only protein source. It also contains cross filtermiconized whey which is very high in leucine.

There is a difference in protein. Some of these are arguabe but you get the idea.

#1: Without a doubt SUPER PLASMA SERUM. Instantly recognized. Studies have shown it induces more growth . No contest.

#2: Hydrolized. A really superior pre-digested protein but absolutely horrible tasting. Unusable in drinks. Some companies use a somewhat watered down version of it but believe me, pure hydrolized taste like turpentine in ass.

#3:Cross filtered and ion excahnged. These are essentially purified proteins. There's a slight difference but bith are excellent. And they're the best tasting.

#4: Whey fraction. Good stuff which breaks down fast.

Casien and egg and the others are all fine. (Whole egg is better).

The junk...

Whey concentrate is cheap left-over low grade whey. And soy is an incomplete protein, missing essential aminos and it also contains phyto estrogens. Both better than nothing though.

I also think BCAA's are good but expensive.

And there it is.

 

[joe d]

You are going hypo bro. At least that's how it sounds to me.

i will not agree or disagree. wherever im going i like it. im still growing

 

[theemperor]

I am PRO BigBlast supporter as I have said before. It made a world of a diffrence, especially on bulking as I used it post workout shake and it took me about 3 solid weeks and I could really see the diffrence after my shake. Each to his own on if you like it or don't but I have tried to help out at one time here on EF to get lower pricing for all of us bros. I'm just dissapointed that we have not and I STILL have not heard about an upcoming discount for EF Family from the higher powers here. Either way for me, I will still get it at $14 a pound.

 

[ghostshadow]

expensive stuff to be sure, I like the protein factory stuff...it seems to work fine for me! I buy some BCAA powder and glutamine and add it to every shake, seems to really help with recovery

 

[Synpax]

Can you site published evidence of the superiority of 'super plasma protein'?

What is the bio availability of SPP, particularly compared to whey isolate?

What is the ratio of the proteins/components in the canister?

I'm pretty skeptical.

It appears you are better off with whey than with SPP anyway: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8117846?ordinalpos=1&itool=EntrezSystem2.PEntrez.Pubmed.Pubmed_ResultsPanel.Pubmed_DiscoveryPanel.Pubmed_Discovery_RA&linkpos=1&log$=relatedarticles&logdbfrom=pubmed

Cheap, high quality isolate from allthewhey or someone like that, buy your own dextrose and creatine and use appropriately.

Do you believe that studies which show muscle grow is induced from IGF-1? Well, then you should be convinced because super plasma serum protein contains more IGF thasn anything legal. You'd have to eat a pound of colostrum to get close to the IGF in a dose of BIG BLAST.

There aren't many studies done of bodybuilders, but this is better. http://dairy.ifas.ufl.edu/rns/2008/Campbell.pdf One of many studies where the researchers basically said; 'Holy fuck, these animals are growing more than the nutritional content should allow from this shit and we don't know why."

That's a fair answer. I will review the PDF.

What can you tell us about the quantity of the components of the supplement?

 

[iggy]

tropical orange tastes damn good.

but i like to buy protein at less than $100 for 10lbs.

Understandable. But you can keep some BIG BLAST for post workout. Splurge for the extra pennies! : )

Synpax: not sure what you mean by quality of components. PF's quality is top notch.

 

[ghostshadow]

I can vouch for the quality of the PF proteins, it's good stuff or I wouldnt spend my money on it, especially in these times. I like the tropical orange flavor myself, however I dont like the banana...tried it yesterday in advanced muscle builder but it's got some good stuff in it so I'll drink anyway

Never actually tried the banana. I'm hooked on the tropical orange and double chocolate. Try adding a real banana -- that helps most banana flavored drinks.

 

[aquatic_glories]

well since super p protein is written after CFM, we can surely say it is not the main protein ingredient. I would like to know how many grams of SPP ar there in one serving???

Thanks

 

[eClenbuterol]

I just wish it was lower on sodium and didnt have so much fillers in it. 20G of sugar is unacceptable for me.

 

[Nelson Montana]

It's not really much higher in sodium. That comes from the whole egg.

And the sugar isn't that bad -- about as much as a couple of sips of soda. Come on! That ain't gonna kill ya. And it's needed to shuttle the protein into the bloodstream faster. And it beats the taste of aspartame or Splenda. When that's the sole sweetener, it taste like ass. I can't deal with that.

The SPP is 10% of the protein complex. Any more would affect taste ...and make it MORE expensive.

Sorry, I meant quantity. How much of the different protein types are in it?

 

[joe d]

im telling you guys all science crap aside big blast is a damn good shake. i have used them all. the cheap ones to the rediculously over priced ones. nothing even comes close when used as a post w/o or a first meal.

 

[Nelson Montana]

That's the thing -- you can read every study of every conclusion all day long and in the end, it's the guys who've been at this a while who just know what's working and what isn't. That's why so many of the "book smart" steroid experts know all the science but can't put together a good cycle! LOL.

Synpax; BIG BLAST is mainly (75%) cross flow microfiltered whey isolate which is the highest form of protein used in the best commercial products. (And in most cases, they just throw enough in there to show it on the label). CFM is also the best tasting -- light, with a delicate mouth feel and smooth milky taste. It's also the highest in BCAA's. The SPP and whole egg work as "spikes" along with the aminogen and enzymes which makes it all that much more absorbable. But again, where other companies throw in one or two percent, we use a full 10% SPP . It makes a big difference.

 

[1500]

I'll admit, its a better mixing shake than monster milk. MM has an elmers glue texture, while BB is easier to drink. Give me a good bro discount and Ill switch back

 

[Toptoon1]

Ok im thoroughly confused. So I haven’t been working out long, but I do work out intense. I want to take Nelsons word and Joe D’s recommendation cause they seem to know there stuff, but really how good is this protein? Now you will all probably laugh at the stuff im using. I use "Body Fortress" I get it at walmart! I odviously dont know much about proteins huh. I figure this stuff is better then nothing and you cant beat the price. Say what you will about walmart but i have always found they have solid products at awesome prices. So having said that Im wondering is this stuff your pushing really that much better after I toss some eggs and bananas into my walmart shake? My walmart protein has a lot of the stuff you guys are mentioning. (Whey protein concentrate, Why protein isolate, Creatine, Creatine Monohydrate, Taurine, L-glutamine, Leucine, Isoleucine, valine) its got all kinds of essential and non essential amino acids too.
I looked up the label of Big Blast and compared it to mine and the differences do confuse me aswell as some of the things your saying.

5 servings in a lb of BB / 7 in BF
BB has 46g protein per 3 scoops (90g serving) / BF has 52g protein per 2 scoops (66g)
BB has 20g sugar per serving / BF has 3g
BB has 300mg sodium / BF has 100mg
BB cholesterol 145mg / BF 90 mg

These are just some of the comparisons. The biggest one the price. Not only is this walmart stuff more then half the price pound for pound but the serving size is smaller and still gives you more grams of protein. I don’t know much about what works better and all this scientific stuff but I know a can of coke has about 40g of sugar. If I take BB 3 times a day that’s the same amount of sugar as a can and a half a day of coke. still even coke has 40g sodium per serving. 3 time a day of BB will be the same sodium as 7 and a half cokes a day. Theres like 65g of sodium in a large egg. are there 5 large eggs in every serving?

"It's not really much higher in sodium. That comes from the whole egg.

Don’t mean to quote you nelson but I got a question for you. If I put a couple of packets of sugar in my protein shake are you telling me that will help shuttle protein into my bloodstream faster?
