What do you think of MyoPlex?

I went to pick up my normal protein (EAS Simply Protein, now called MyoPro or something like that), and the store i went to was out -- a 20serving size myoplex was the same price, so i figured id try that as well -- It has 42g protein per serving as well as a bunch of other stuff that i have no idea what it does, and its much thicker than my previous stuff, but its not bad -- definitely a few bucks more though -- anyone have any personal comments on the stuff -- good bad junk excellent stuff?? The style i got was just Myoplex original

I like Myoplex. Quality MRP, and good taste, but I prefer the macronutrient profile of the Low Carb version; however, if you are bulking this is a good choice.

I did a look on SupplementWatch a while back. That is how I found the EAS product. I wasn't an EAS fan before because I figured if they sold in Target, come on.

But honestly, I've tried tons of MRP products. And this one tasted great, mixed very well, was not overpriced and had a great nutrient profile. I was in a bulk mode so it was welcomed.

My experience with it. A+. I'd buy them again.

However, the Strawberry flavor.. mixes the same as chocolate but man.. yuck!

The Chocolate flavor is tops.

thanks for the info guys. if you dont mind me asking, what do you guys personally use for protein supplements?

-chris

Mostly, I use a custom blended whey concentrate post-workout, and a custom blended casien before bed.

I used ICE and Vendetta by Xtreme during or before workouts (BCAAs and EAAs, respectively), and I use the occasional Low Carb MRP when the mood strikes.

pre and post workout, i use ON whey

in my homemade gainer, i use vitalabs egg protein

Tastes like carbonated cake batter...

Other than that, it's fine :-)

Personally I didn't really like MyoPlex all that much. I could never get it to mix very well (maybe I should have used a blender or something) and the package was hard as hell to open. Other than that the taste was alright. Currently I just eat a Worldwide Protien bar between breakfast & lunch and a GNC Pro Performance protien shake (double dose) between lunch and dinner.
The chocolate GNC protien powder tastes great--- but it's pretty high in cholesterol (that double dose puts me up to about 70% of the RDA). I'm actually going to shop around a little and try to find some better stuff. If anyone has any suggestions let me know!

i have myoplex deluxe (new improved oh boy!!) 53g protein, 12g glutamine, 1g cla, and 7g fiber. chocolate flavor. is that what you guys are talking about? i wouldnt know if it was good or bad. i drink it after my workouts and if i am going to completely miss a meal, is that right?

while i have your attention is low fat yogurt a good carbo source?

Low fat yogurt is a better lean protein (dairy) then a carb source. Granted, there are carbs, but they are simple sugar types from the sugars in milk. But the protein contained is good. I wouldn't use yogurt as a carb but rather a lean protein option.

hmmmm.... ok. well what would you suggest as a good carbo source to go with my small meals? i dont always have the time or resources to whip up a big salad or anything. i do drink tons of 100% juice though. apple, grapefruit, grape etc. id say 20+ oz/per serving.

I prefer Metrx over Myoplex because Myoplex has Aspartame....Metrx doesn't....and they taste similar

I've never taken myoplex myself. But for bulking up I use EAS Mass Factor supplement in conjunction with the simply protein. The mass factor has the following amounts per serving....

52g protein
97g carbohydrate
5g creatine monohydrate
1g L-glutamine
1g L-arginine

Thoughout the day I take the simply protein. Then after lifting I take the mass factor.

However supplements are only a part of getting results...

1/3 What you do in the gym
1/3 How much you sleep
1/3 What you eat (including supplements)

Neither one of these factors is more or less important to succesful training than the next.

<<((BRADEN))>>

Neither one of these factors is more or less important to succesful training than the next.

I wholeheartedly agree. I was training hard, supplementing and for years could figure out why my gains were not coming along. It wasn't until I got a bulk plan and started eating right that the 1/3 kicked in.. and what a difference.
