Bodybuilding - Exercises and Supplements

In oshiwara there is this shop called Pro active. It is on the left side of the road before you take the turn to go towards mega mall. Got the myofusion from there. They seem trustworthy, its a sports nutrition shop basically.

He keeps other proteins but after myofusion, I prefer using 100% gold standard whey from ON.(this you get in Neulife stores, lokhandwala and bandra)

Pranav, I got the offer on sms and when I went to buy my next protein he said the offer is available. Even with 1 pe 1 free, price per scoop is still the most expensive haha

Call up neulife to check if offer is on, these guys take out new offers often and close the previous ones.

cooldude, when are you working out, morning/evening? Important to take a scoop before/after sleeping
As for proteins, Syntha 6 and Dessert taste like some amazing ice cream, amazing taste..super expensive. Both are from BSN.

I'm just paranoid and have reason to be paranoid too with all the fake and adulterated proteins in the market. I only buy from trustworthy places, found only 2 as of now.
General stores and drug stores cannot be trusted, that is just my opinion.

Yep, thats Vignesh Murthy he is a big player in the market and has been around for a long time. His wife also happens to be a nutritionist

@ cooldude, Wake up early, have your breakfast and then hit the weights. I will never understand why people workout on an empty stomach

Cardio on an empty stomach is fine.

S0uljah, suggest some other shops in Mumbai please

Fair points and a fresh, though OT perspective.

I did not want to put across the sense of an assault on my senses from unwashed bodies.

The problem with not washing up after a strenuous workout is the spate of rashes and fungal infections one tends to end up with - especially in Chennai and Mumbai.

This is going to tougher than quitting smoking.

It worked.
Using my left hand instead of my right hand for holding the phone while reading has removed most of the pressure from my shoulder.

Thanks Guys.

Someone told me that Myofusion has non veg contents while i didnt find any in ingredients.
Any more light on this?

1-Testosterone · 20th July 2009, 17:58

Myofusion contains Egg Albumen.

Gagan.js · 20th July 2009, 20:53

Yes myofusion has the red dot signifying its non veg.

Opened the tub like an hour back, it tastes nice, scoop has like 6 grams more powder compared to other companies which I didn't realise so mixing was kind of a problem until I added more liquid. Got the consistency right and now it does taste good.

So does that red dot for non veg signifies it has egg albumen or there is any other reason also?

In addition the taste is actually the best i had tasted in any protein so far.

1-Testosterone · 20th July 2009, 22:27

Red Dot = Contains Egg
It tastes good because it contains fat and caseinates.
But having said that there are far better tasting, better quality and more effective proteins in the market.

vivekiny2k · 20th July 2009, 22:41

didn't realize taste ranks so high on priorities. I ate all kinds of stuff (egg in milk, raw egg, some bland powder made of desi grains) when I was training hard, never cared for what it tasted like.

You're like the alfred hitchcock of supplements. we're always left guessing to where is it that you're pointing? Which ones are AVAILABLE and BETTER? especially at this price point!?

Yes, this is my schedule:

Day 1 : Monday - 15-20 min on the treadmill. While running on flat surface, I used cover 2.5 to 2.7 km.
5 min on the bike
Abs excercise.

Day 2: Tuesday - Instead of abs, I do cruches

Day 3: Wednesday: Repeat Day1

Day 4: Thursday: Repeat Day2
----------------
Can't go to gym on Fri, Sat, Sun due to some reasons.

- Is what I am doing right ?
- Running flat vs Running inclined ?
