This any good?

[brock_solid]

I was talking to my uncle today who used to body build in his earlier days, he told me to get Mega Mass 5000, or any Joe Weider protein powders, since my goal is to bulk up and put on weight, i want weight more than muscle at the moment since im pretty skinny. This looks pretty good, should i buy it, or tips? cheers.

All I see is a couple of containers with vague descriptions. Where can I get my hands on some content/ingredients?

I tried a search and found nothing except a couple of aust. sites that did not list the contents.

I can't really comment on the quality of the product without seeing the stats.

However, from what I understand, the Mega Mass 5000 is one of the original protein powders, and would be what your uncle used back in the day. A friend told me his supplement store still carried it because a few old-timers still swore by it. You can tell by the packaging that its marketed at the "veterans".

That's not to say it's a bad product, of course... I really don't know.

In general though, I'd steer clear of mass gainers. They are usually just full of extra carbs - often sugar. That's how they put mass on you... but it's not lean mass! IMO, it's more cost effective to buy the standard protein powder, then add extra carbs/fats yourself if need be. Use foods like oats, bananas, or peanut butter.

(The old-timers will approve of those foods as well - although they might suggest throwing a few raw eggs into the mix too! :puke:)

Oh bloody hell, i just need a cheap/good protein powder that i can get maybe 3 - 5 kgs for a little over $100.

Give me some tips and where to buy it, i would get that fonterra stuff but nobody told me where to get it from.....im a very impatient young man

Thats because you cant get any Fontera stuff, or are not meant to , couldnt you work that out, and yes you do need to eat a carb based protein mix if you are after a"Quick 3-4 kgs" as you put it, proberbly one of the best formulas for you would be the Balance Mass Gainer, and I would suggest that you have a full serve mid morning, midafternoon, and again at night on top of your normal breakfast-lunch and dinner.

Go to http://www.rnc.co.nz and there you can get it at a disc rate also take a look at the Mass Pack Deal in the starter pack section as that may help you as well !!

Alright, thanks

Do you know if Rebel sport in Wellington will have it?

I would buy it from the site but i don't have a credit card.

[hrdcor]

Yes they would!!

[frogie2001]

that was the first protein powder i ever bought it's god for pilling on the mass, heaps of calories per serving. the aminos are all present too. it's cheap and if you lift heavy and are a skinny beggar it's perfect.

if you want a chap NZ source go for pharmasport.

Well i went to a health shop today, they didn't have the mass gainer from balance, i asked the lady but she said they don't have it but can order it in, so i just picked up 2kg of nutra life mass gainer i think its called, tastes pretty nice aswell :pfft:

Cheers for the help though
