Eclipseguy Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 oo nga, sayang di din ako nakapunta. i heard eclipse-la salle was over-all winner? is that correct? Indeed...and with only 6 months of training, and nobody was wearing custom-fitted gear like our competitors! :thumbsupsmiley: Quote Link to comment
van_wilder Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 you only spend thousands when you buy... but per serving is only P50... Quote Link to comment
pitbull69 Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 DUDE, IF YOU'RE COMFORATABLE SPENDING THOUSANDS FROM UR WALLET INSTEAD OF A FEW HUNDREDS THEN SUPPLEMENTS ARE GOOD FOR U... I only bought my 6Lb Pro-rated brand whey protein at $30. 22g protein per serving. I think that's way way cheap than buying a steak Quote Link to comment

I think that's way way cheap than buying a steak dude i don't get it...you spend $30 on a 6lb pro rated brand, that is 1560 (correct the conversion if i'm wrong) in Phil peso.it seemed you already have a decision even before asking your concern if food supplements will indeed benefit you,so why bother ask? steak isn't the only natural source of protein there's also skinless chicken breast, egg whites and peanuts, the fact that you're so keen on mentioning "steak" as your target food would only mean you can afford it. besides, while others here can only hope to get whey protein sold locally for an affordable price, you're acquring it using your $$$... i'm amazed just sharing my POV, peace Quote Link to comment
Humpster!!!! Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 i take Optimum minsan pero good food intake is still the best, eggs, chicken, beef, tuna :cool: Quote Link to comment

Yes, that's the best but then again iba iba ang schedules/preference natin. Titimplahin ko lang yung protein shake ko eh less than 5 minutes lang as against magprepare pa ko ng natural food. Generally mahal yang protein shakes... but for other people, mas mahal yung TIME nila. Convenience can be pricey... Quote Link to comment
Olympus Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 The reason we are suggesting to avoid supplements is because you have these people believing that they are the end to the means yet have crappy diets. They forget that a person eating properly would make more progress than a person taking a truckload of supplements but eats like crap Quote Link to comment

Convenience can be pricey... saglit lang mag steam ng chicken pare 3min. lang luto na yun, ako niluluto ko lahat ng meals ko sa umaga palang, mga 15 to 20min. to prepare lahat ng meals for the whole day na un, puro steamed chicken tsaka broccoli nga lang, tiisin mo nalang ung lasa Quote Link to comment

Generally mahal yang protein shakes... but for other people, mas mahal yung TIME nila. Convenience can be pricey... Part of the problem is that most trainees put FAR too much emphasis on protein and not enough on essential fatty acids (EFAs), fiber, and total calories (not derived from SUGAR like in weight gainers). What you get is guys who can't lose fat when dieting (because they are eating too much protein) and guys who can't gain weight (because they think that all they need is protein for a positive nitrogen balance). Protein is insignificant in comparison to total calories. Total calories is the key to growth as total calories is the key to weight loss/dieting. I can feel the heat from the guys that will jump on me for what I've just said, but I used to believe the opposite until I got my degree in biochemistry and spent time researching wasting diseases and disorders. The human body is an incredibly efficient machine, and will grow with even 50 grams of protein per day (even if the athlete is 200lbs) as long as there are enough calories present. I used to religiously drink 200 grams of protein per day and didn't eat enough. I made zero gains. Then I learned how to train properly and once purposely avoided protein for a month when getting back from a long layoff following a minor surgery. Within that month, I gained back a large portion of my strength and lean mass. When I tried dieting once I kept my protein very high but my calories moderate. I couldn't lose fat because my body couldn't handle 1 gram per lb of bodyweight. I cut the protein in half, and lo and behold, my bodyfat level plummeted and I was lean in record time. If you want REAL results, eat REAL food and balance everything. It's much more difficult to do this with supplements. Quote Link to comment

pitbull69 Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Convenience is really pricey. Your life style and work determines why should you use supplements. They are called food supplements not food substitutes. yes, and supplements are there to provide you with what you're missing... Going back to my point... eating all-natural food all the way does not apply to everyone, the same goes for supplements. Quote Link to comment
pitbull69 Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Are these Amino tabs/caps different from the one found on Protein Shakes? That BCAA thingy? Quote Link to comment
noah Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Bros,FYI, I DO NOT recommend supplements as your PRIMARY source of food/nutrients. (NOTHING BEATS NATURAL FOOD!!!)...However, i am selling supplements PRIMARILY to give customers/supplement users other means of getting supplements at a cheaper price. The supplements there in PI is just tooo freakin' expensive...I almost fainted the first time I saw the supplement prices at the malls...Very soon, I will be bringing in a 5lb. quality whey protein that is under P1800... I truly understand that money don't come easy. On top of that, we want to stay healthy but most gym memberships are too expensive...I admire EG and Oly for contributing the needs (knowledge and affordable gyms) in PI's fitness world. This is just another hobby/passion of mine just like fitness and working out...I do have a good-paying job and other source of income... Stay healthy and Keep pumping....noah Quote Link to comment

Just send the money that you intend to spend to me, and I'll promise to "research" the answer for you, publish it in a bodybuilding rag, and patronize you later on your "before" and "after" transformation after I feed you flour pills for 6 weeks as you pose next to 2 hot fitness girls Quote Link to comment
