Anything with a good mix of casein protein. ON casein or ON Pro Complex PM is good

[mr. john]

thanks sir!how about protein bars? do you guys here know stores that sell cheap protein bars? expensive kasi sa cash and carry. i read somewhere here na their isobars are being sold at 30/pc. sa cash and carry around 120/pc ng isobar. thanks

Overpriced and overhyped. You're better off taking creatine ethyl ester. 9 out of 10 people don't get anything out of regular creatine.

being a former 120 lb skinny guy, here's what I'll suggest

 

start lifting weights

eat every 3-4 hours a day

don't skip meals

limit your activities.

 

if you have any more questions, just ask

thanks olympus. just a question though, how heavy should the weights be? i don't have barbells at home and we only have different sets of dumbbells. i just want to gain a few pounds and not look like the skinny weakling that i am now. and can i do the rippetoe training using dumbbells (not barbells). thanks a lot. i wish i'd gain enough weight during summer. thanks a lot.

thermorexin and cardio breeze are much cheaper alternatives to xenadrine. If you want any, just let me know

Cheaper but good alternatives to Syntha-6: ON's Whey Gold Standard, ON's Pro Complex, Dymatize Elite Whey, Champion Nutrition Whey, Ultimate Nutrition Whey.

 

NO explode: Trust me, stick with creatine. Any brand will do. The "kick" you get from NO explode is just a caffein rush.

ok din ba ang dymatize elite 12 as a bedtime protein drink? instead of ON casein. thanks.

If you don't have a choice, Dymatize whey will be fine. Although it's a fast digesting protein, one technique to slow down its absorbtion is to blend in a tablespoon of olive oil/ flax oil/ any healthy oil with the shake. Not only will the fats make to drink creamier, it also slows down the absorbtion rate of the proteins. Hope this helps.
