Triple threat and bulking

[TheProject]

Okay, so I got a hold of this tub of Triple Threat.

No, I didn't have to pay for it.

Anyway, I figured since the carbs on it are kind of high, it's gotta make a good bulking powder, right? So I mix it with 3 cups of whole milk, thinking this would be good.

Boy was I wrong. This stuff has got a nasty fake sweet taste to it unlike any other powder I've tried.

Has anyone else used this stuff as a gainer, or figured out a way to make the taste tolerable?

vanilla or chocolate?

I liked the chocolate, but neither of them were any good with milk - I always just used cold water.

they are very sweet, and the vanilla seems especially bad about that.

It's chocolate.

My thought was, fair amount of protein, high in carbs, should make a good gainer.

I mean, damn...Count Chocula is less sweet than this stuff.

maybe you are "too gay" to use the stuff?

See, I was thinking that I was too straight. I figured the whole sweet thing appealed to gay men and women, I dunno.

I have some protein factory stuff, and usually use Optimum Power Mass, but I'm just trying to make use of this stuff since it was free.

Project, whatever you do, dont toss it. I agree that it is way to sweet, but it was free to you and it works for bulking.

I used it last bulking time (with some free tubs I had) and it worked real well. I did not use it pre-post workout, but during the day as snacks. And I used 4 huge scoops instead of 3.

Made for a good bulking powder, but mix it with water and not too much cause its real thin. Make sure to take some ALA with it everytime, (maybe one cap), to help a little.

Peace

Thanks kronk.

I'm mixing with milk because I need the cals. I use gainers as my midmorning and midafternoon meals, 3 cups of milk, 4 scoops of powder. I forget the exact stats, but the Optimum's advertised as 1000 cals with milk.

I use the postworkout formula from Protein Factory (when I'm not out).

I'm going all out, balls-to-the wall to get as many calories as I can because I've had a hard time putting on mass.

What I may do is keep the Triple Threat for the rare occasion when I need a fill in shake without the extra cals from milk.

Good idea, fuck it and choke it down with milk. They way you described above is a great way to use it. Hell you will be through it in a week and a half or whatever, maybe less. But its a shitload of cals and you need them.

Shit you should have seen me eat in Vegas at the buffetts. I would eat bfast and lunch in one sitting, and I mean HUGE amounts of food.

Peace.

Oh, I'm not ripped by any stretch. I'm somewhere in the neighborhood of 12-15% b/f, I'm just trying to break the 200lb barrier. I've experimented with trying to bulk cleanly to minimize fat loss, and it just hasn't worked for me. So, I'll just pack on the mass, and see what happens.

Sound like my kind of Cycle... Yee Haa.... Bring on the Food

 

[b fold the truth]

I drink a big shake every morning. I mix 2 scoops of vanilla with 2 scoops of chocolate...in 16oz milk. I love it.

Tried that...still didn't gain much, if any. I've been using whole milk for the last week and a half or so. Gonna go forward with that, at least for a while, and see how it goes.

I wondered when you'd chime in!

I can't imagine mixing this stuff with chocoloate milk.



Thanks Corn, I'll check into that protein.

 

[dballer]

Drink that stuff when you want to make a milkshake or somthing.

If you want a good MRP with no bullshit protien claims.. try EAS Myoplex MASS. I like the Vanilla flavor.

Everything goes with chocolate milk...but then what do I know about bulking?
