Why's it always the not lifters who think you can get huge on 1200 calories who post this dribble.

My favourite threads; people buying this stuff and thinking it does anything, and people buying wellman and wellwoman and the like and thinking it does anything! :smile:

You're being mugged off ladies and gents. It does nothing. You get enough protein from your diet or can make a very small adjustment to do so. Everything else you just **** down the drain, literally*.

* - I know, I know, a correct use of the word literally! Literally amazin... oh, doh...

At the end of the day protein is protein, and you need it to build / maintain muscle. Sure you can change your diet a bit, but not everyone wants to eat an extra can or two of tuna every day, and when you consider that it'll be about 60p cheaper per serving of protein with this, it starts to make sense to me.

Whats the code?

Bought 2. 1% charge on PayPal transactions.

if you spend £40 you can add a barrel bag http://www.myprotein.com/protein-accessories/myprotein-barrel-bag-blue/11055612.html for no cost and no code so it won't change your deal. They're available in 4 colours

lol just saw it

thanx

It's about to get very HOT in here!

At the end of the day protein is protein, and you need it to build / maintain muscle. Sure you can change your diet a bit, but not everyone wants to eat an extra can or two of tuna every day, and when you consider that it'll be about 60p cheaper per serving of protein with this, it starts to make sense to me.

Protein shakes should be at least somewhat beneficial and I'm sure there's evidence to suggest this, the more expensive brands aren't any more beneficial though and I tend to use the cheapest I can find (usually Matrix). Enough protein can be obtained from your diet and ill agree with that, it should always be your first priority to obtain your carbs and protein from solid food, however I believe these are good to supplement a little extra after a meal and before/after the gym. I always eat before and after, but I follow it down with a shake when I cant possibly eat more, I could of course be wrong but ill gladly stop if you have any hard evidence.
A friend of mine competes in bodybuilding professionally and swears by them, he also eats 5-6 meals a day and hits his protein and carbs through solid foods. I can see why there's so much debate as its very hard to prove he wouldn't have had results without the shakes.
Anyone tried these? What are they like taste wise? I've had a few brands that are quite powdery, I tend to use vanilla or unflavored anyway and sometimes use it for cooking.
Edit: The usual brand I use, from experience this brand definitely works as well as any of the more expensive options and may even be cheaper than this (not sure on P+P) Whether it actually works is up for debate as Robertoegg mentioned, but for anyone who is going to supplement extra protein I would recommend for taste and value:
Matrix

myprotein whey is not the most pleasant. Good price though

The chocolate brownie one is like ben and jerries brownie ice cream! Strawberry cream is nice but quite foamy and needs to settle

For your own sake please just keep quiet, to save yourself from sounding so stupid.

Yeah I don't get why there wasn't ever a tub laying around in Renaissance art.

Mixed with milk they're a bit nicer, but even just water I rate them highly. Compared to the maximuscle I did use I definitely think they mix better plus I prefer the taste, and its cheaper than most brands! Win-win!
Of course its a protein shake so is there ever gonna be one that tastes great? They're for function after all, not taste :wink:

I have no idea what that comment even means :laughing:

Here ya go, http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/beginner-leg-training-guide.htm

Tis true, wise words you speak

Cheers OP! Absolute bargain.

I can personally vouch for the Salted Caramel flavour (gone for the same again). Last time I bought 2.5kg for almost the same price, so this is a fantastic deal.

Works out at 16p per scoop, which is extremely cheap.

I have mine each morning. I put a 25g scoop, 120g of oats, and full fat milk into the shaker (without the grille) and it tastes fantastic. Wait for the oats to soak up the milk and the protein powder (any time from an hour later) and it's ideal.

​Totally agree. Study after study has shown that no one needs this rubbish. Obviously you need proteins to build muscle, but we all consume far to much of it in our diets already. This is just money down the toilet. Now how on earth is that a hot deal??

Do we? How do you know the diet of everyone buying this?

Not everyone has too much protein, so this is a good deal for me. Thanks op!

​Obviously in general. Most people do, it's our modern life style. Protein rich foods are easily accessible and cheaper than ever. For the average person going to the gym a few times a week they just don't need this. It's not an opinion it's a proven fact. But hey, waste your money if you like, I really don't care.

Clearly you do care lol...

hello neotrix, firsr of all thank you so much, and secondly where was this code originally posted? was it sent out in an email? thanks a lot!

I hear a lot of people saying it don't work but I was genuinely stick thin and a year of training done nothing apart from gain strength......bit the bullet and took a protein weight gainer and I put on 3 stone in 4 months and was the best shape I ever was in.......but having kids and job loss resulted in gym cancellation and I'm back to the drawing board but it does work

its not rocket science that protein builds muscles (as well as keeping hydrated and sleep ) so what's not to get. There have even been tests to find out if maximuscle does contain what it claims and it actually does. sorry to go on lol

Great deal... The fact that all flavours are discounted incuding the stevia ones gets my vote. Only problem for me is I really don't need any for months because of their deals and my HUKD obsession :smiley:

Their argument is that we consume enough protein with food. Mass gainer is a bit different, even if does contain some protein. It's to increase calorie intake usually with carbs mainly for bulking. This is also possible with food but some find it difficult to eat 3/4k calories or more a day.

People weigh different amounts, people do different amounts of activity and people eat different things. There are a lot of people in this thread that appear to be unaware of this.

Right. I'd hope most here buying this are responsible enough to do their own experiments with diet and supplements.

The things you are saying aren't true.

Yes, it's quite obvious that protein supplementation isn't actually required. Supplementing for the fact you haven't got your diet right.

http://www.livescience.com/8086-protein-supplement-myth-revealed-body-work.html
http://nutritionstudies.org/no-whey-man-ill-pass-on-protein-powder/
http://www.executivestyle.com.au/do-you-really-need-protein-supplements-2k0ss

I wonder if the main benefit of the powders before a gym session is to provide extra energy without having too much bulk from normal food. I find that even when I do my strength workout without having a bit of food beforehand I run out of energy quite quickly,

I wonder if the people who claim protein does nothing also downvote a deal on chicken or any other form of protein.

Everyone knows it's not magic. It's merely a faster/more convenient additional way of eating protein as part of daily food intake.

People quoting studies are just assuming that everybody has a life that fits exactly to the lifestyle of the people in the studies.

They assume that everyone has a normal life and does a normal amount of exercise, therefore a normal diet will supply a normal amount of protein.

Big news! Not everyone is the same, some people are burning triple the calories that a normal person does or even more. Some people do need to supplement their diet to keep the balance right across protein, carb and fat. If they ate a normal diet they would starve. (and that's not just elite bodybuilders, anybody who does a lot of exercise for any sport or even has a very active job) They don't all have the time or money to prepare piles of steak and chicken breast. Or even access to the food at the right time.

So even though you think your little world applies to everyone, guess what? It doesn't.
Neither do these studies that people are supplying links to.

If you're body building, the amount of protein you'll need is at least 1g/lb of bodyweight, which is way more than what most people can get from their diet, unless they're eating several chicken breasts each day. It's a supplement, not supposed to be used as a meal replacement.

For example from my meals I get about 80-100 grams of protein per day, and the other 80g I top up with whey protein

I don't trust websites, magazines or bodybuilders either but Instead of making arbitrary statements. Go read a respected publication like This Book or something similar by another accredited sports body.

How much protein body builders need for optimal gains various widely based on body weight, how long they've been doing it etc. but the general rule of fun amount is around 2g per kg of bodyweight.

There's quite a bit of inconsistency and scare mongering in those articles. They seem more opinion driven rather than fact based.

The 2g figure is BS dreamed up by supplement manufacturers so that you empty your wallet quicker. The rule as you tout it is a fake rule.

It's actually 0.64g.

http://bayesianbodybuilding.com/the-myth-of-1glb-optimal-protein-intake-for-bodybuilders/

http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=163010271

http://forum.simplyshredded.com/topic/13841/064lb-is-enough-to-build-muscle/

So it's ~1.41g/kg?

Alan Aragon who is the man to compile all the results concluded that 1.5g per kg was necessary to maintain lean muscle mass. The 0.64g is the one the NHS & WHO use, which is way off the mark. Layne Norton also recommends 50% of your calories coming from protein when cutting.

Yes, more fat means less lactose. Will be more filling as well.

Great deal! I bought the chocolate flavour one....Time to get back into shape for the summer :smile:

Wrong.. This is a supplement to your protein intake that does help to build muscle (As long as you work out) I need 186g per day to gain. Do you think i`ll get that from a Chicken Sandwich and a McDonalds coffee

Do you even lift ?

Are you mad ? Do you understand bodybuilding/ powerlifting and the size and waight of people? and wanting to match with 1.2g per pound some taking even more.
How can you even say it's possible to get the amount you need for someone who is 250-350lb+ I have legit never heard of a typical gym rat that doesn't take whey.

I've tried a few different proteins and value for money on paper myprotein seems one of the best. However the taste is rubbish. I've tried the cookies and cream and chocolate flavours and had to resort to getting the smoothie maker out and mixing it with various other fruits etc.

Other proteins I've tried like USN and ON they taste delicious and can be simply mixed with water/milk in a shaker. I wouldn't buy myprotein again, leaves me with a problem though since I have two big bags which were on here for £12.50 each last time.

Bought impact whey protein from MP for many years but found the last bag I got was very very powdery like chalk dust. It goes everywhere and makes a mess.

Anyone else notice this?

Excellent 10kg ordered. I ordered some last time this code worked but it stopped within hours so be quick. Natural banana and natural strawberry

Are the stevia ones good never tried them and don't want to risk it buying a 5kg bag of something I might not like

My protein whey powders are too sweet full of artificial sugar. Poor quality

Fk sake I've just bought some 2 days ago for normal price

Great price - If I hadn't just just spent £100 on 7.5kg a couple days ago on protein from MP...... Though I got Impact Whey Isolate and ISOpro 97 due to the lower carb content - heat added

Great deal, thanks for posting. Remember to get your extra 2% through TCB.

Many thanks for this. heat

Offer is on till midnight tomorrow (Sunday)

hmm, who to believe, the medical profession or the multi-million pound supplement industry? I don't need to point out the obvious do I?

Or, believe the men and women who actually lift.

As for me, I've found that 1g per pound of BW works for me. Whey supplements my lifestyle as it's a convenience, unless you know of an alternative cheap source of protein that I can put together and consume in a minute or two please let me know.

Protein Works Whey 80 is far superior, and if u wait, certain times in the month they have 25 - 30% off entire site, cherry bakewell and choc mint brownie and jaffa cake are the best flavours

http://aminoacidguru.org/comparison-7-best-selling-protein-powders-uk-today/

Great find, thanks! I've checked and seems that discount codes can be use only one a time. Placed two orders, one for proteins one for muffins :smiley:
If anyone want to use it: Your Myprotein Referrers Code: MP34583864
Please delete if not allowed :smiley:

OK, I'll bite. Please show us, by typing it into this thread. Your typical daily meals, and the protein intake you get with it.
I know many people who work out on here will know almost exactly what protein and calorie intake they have every day. And the lifters will have a protein target.

So please, enlighten us all with this "protein rich food" you glibly refer to. And give us your "facts" not your words.
Type away.

each to their own but ive seen major gains in a short space of time and im happy to keep using it as ive seen the obvious benefits and its been far superior to other protiens ive tried like On,my protein ,protein works

Im glad it is ive seen massive benefits compared to others ive tried

If only this was isolate :disappointed:
Still a cracking deal for the concentrate fans, you have my heat OP! :sunglasses:

Just putting this out there, I use a different brand to this and I have found it works for me, I have recently discovered this brand and will be trying some of their products shortly, heated op x

Great deal for those with bigorexia.

Hi, thanks for posting - can also get CASHBACK via Topcashback (http://www.topcashback.co.uk/myprotein/)

Great price, but I've already got enough whey to last me the year... FFS...

Thinks Calories and protein are the same - bless!

Aaaaaaahhhahahahahaaaaa!!! People actually type this?! For real?? **** myself.... :smile::smile::smile::smile:

Please tell me how he sounds stupid? We get enough protein from our diet, actually on average 30% more than we need. This stuff is a tax on the gullible

And when you're cutting?

Suitable for vegetarian?

Excellent price, ordered 2 bags. After reading the opinions here I went for the salted caramel and the choc brownie, hopefully I won't be disappointed :smiley: I don't want to argue with those who say it's useless, I work out 4 times a week and I believe these supplements do help. Maybe if I would eat 6-8 times a day like pro bodybuilders and consume a kilo of fish/steak/chicken breast I wouldn't take the extra protein. But I eat rather little as I try to stay lean so it definitely helps me.
But it's so simple: if you don't like it or don't believe in it, don't buy it! :wink:

Hey been out of training for the past 18 months and just started going since the beginning of the year.
I started going 3 times a week during January, and now go 5 times since beginning of Febuary [3 days heavy lifting, 2 days for endurance].

So have not really ordered from MP before, but heard good reviews. So wanted to know what would be the best product to purchase for quick recovery/strength/size? Also any good recommendation on flavour, prefer to mix it with milk and mix it in the shaker.

When did I even remotely suggest they are the same.....

I actually know what I'm on about on this subject. Not just post random crap like you.

I for one lose 2lbs a week whilst cutting on over 2800 calories (slowly drop them) on a 40/40/20 split to start with. Count every macro.

It works for me and works for 90% of the people I train with, most of which all won competitions last one including British nationals.

Good luck attempting this on your kind of mind set. Yeah it's not for everyone, but neither are crappy diets, hence why we eat what we eat!

Oh contradictory research that hasn't been accepted yet, well that's game over then.

Did you read the book I highlighted yet? It isn't your everyday body builder **** (I don't even lift bro, at least not to bulk; I do however take care of myself) anyway it's a proper grown up book with collated research and more than one page of words in it.

Personally I would never touch whey protein but I see no benefit to coming to a thread with the sole purpose of winding those up that do.

Okay it's Saturday night and it's time for me to hit the wine; have a good night :smiley:

Well I consider that no research is absolute proof and there's always new research being done. Modern body building is to a level that is quite possibly unprecedented in human history. Supplementation has its place, so I guess we could narrow it down to what's considered natural accruement of muscle through diet and what's unnatural and at what threshold does body building become unnatural, if we consider natural versus unnatural is there enough evidence to suggest that to fulfil an unnatural accruement of muscle via diet we should ingest an unnatural amount of protein. None of this is to consider unnatural methods of muscle accruement via steroids, I'm only considering body building naturally via diet.

So is body building unnatural?
If you think yes is there a threshold at which it become unnatural versus natural?
How does supplementation of protein affect the position of becoming unnatural and do you need unnatural intake of protein to obtain the unnatural effect of bodybuilding set by the preceding agreed threshold?

So when we discuss protein supplementation, we're now considering at what point does protein intake need to be increased whereby it can or can't be obtained easily by diet and this is based on the individual's needs, also does the individual genetics of a person interfere or can we generalise to an average intake of protein.

Certainly before I ingested any protein supplementation, I would consider the above, I would suggest that if you find the above difficult to answer, it's because it is difficult to ascertain whether protein supplementation is helping you without doing in depth analysis of your diet and logging your results similar to research >http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1474076.

I don't subscribe to the view well it won't hurt, it might not hurt my health but it seems frivolous to waste money on something that may not be helping you, but of course it could be helping you, but the evidence suggests that you don't need to supplement protein.

The important point is that evidence must be used in context. So for example should anti depressants be prescribed on the level they are now and the research starts to show that they're ineffective. However anti depressants used in context are useful, very useful:

http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/news/publications/psychiatry_newsletter/hopkins_brain_wise_summer_2010/antidepressants_useless_far_from_it_check_the_study

So I would come to the conclusion that protein supplementation must be used in context of its intended purpose, and therefore you need a clear definition of purpose. If you define purpose as protein supplementation is a one size fits all scenario for anyone undergoing exercise/physical training, then I consider that the wrong definition.

The media do the thinking for us, they tell us the medical breakthroughs, they tell us what's right and wrong, they cherry pick the data and the headlines, they base their articles on scientific research, which is often never cited. This some one else doing the thinking for us and leading us to assumption is what's so wrong in this society of ours. I would question everything and look for your own answers. Is 0.64g/lb or 1.41g/kg the optimum level of nutritional intake for body building? Im 85KG and Vegetarian, do I need 119grams of protein in my diet if I'm lifting weights at the gym intensely? What happens if I stick to 70grams of protein a day and the same regime? What happens if I don't supplement Creatine? What happens if I supplement protein and give myself 160grams of protein, will my muscle mass increase? How do I correlate the data, the complexity of which is of considerable difficulty as time passes, maybe at some point some genes are expressed which weren't previously that skew my results, how do I know which genes were responsible? How can I include that in my data? How do I know the right level of protein supplementation for myself as time passes? Do I even need protein supplementation? I can't correlate the complexity of the data so I'll have to log my data as a series of experiments that look at the averages of the effects of my differing levels of protein supplementation and non supplementation. What will I conclude? Well I'll have to wait and see.

I imagine you can see that it's not a clear picture. We know we need essentials vitamins and nutrients because if we don't get them we start suffering disease, we base our intakes of these nutrients on an average. From what I can see 1.41g per KG is the average protein supplementation, but that's for people body building, so if that's your goal, you can get that from your diet without supplementation. Anyway I would question everything including everything I've just said.

You could say that I've massively over complicated protein supplementation, but have I? All I've done is ask questions. There's more questions than answers, but to answer the main question, do you need protein supplementation? Well there's a level of complexity there that would make me think for quite some time whether I really needed to or not. My view is what can I achieve naturally and how do I quantify that? Once I have an idea of what I can achieve naturally vis a vis diet, then I would look at what I could achieve unnaturally which is protein supplementation but I would look no further which is to say steroids, because that's another level of complexity with regard to health that in my mind defeats the very purpose of body building in the first place. Health first at all times.

I'm not a scientist, I'm a layman that thinks in terms of what can I actually find out is the truth as I see it, without assumption/second hand knowledge. Which is to simply say, OK some one told me that, everyone assumes it to be true, but is it true?

TL:DR

I'm not yet convinced protein supplementation is necessary for most people.

Bruh, just cus you read a book about something don't make you a professor fam.

Yes it is suitable for vegetarians. It has a V symbol next to the main Impact Whey page even before you select your flavour so I assume it's all flavours.

I'm vegetarian and have the natural strawberry (which is delicious by the way) and my wife has the summer fruits and both are definitely vegetarian

Thanks for your contribution.

Just got mine today, ordered the Chocolate Brownie one, as soon as I opened the bag I was amazed with how good it smelt... tastes almost as good and I mixed it with water, haven't tried any other flavours and don't think there's any need to, love it, thanks for the post :P

Oh my bad. When you click on vegetarian protein it doesn't come up with any whey, but it looks like they've confused vegetarian with vegan.

Do you get a scoop with it?

cool thanks a lot.

great deal! ordered.

did they have all those flavours a few months back?!
some tasty sounding ones but dont really want to experiment with a 5kg bag :laughing:
cinnamon danish, apple crumble hmmmm yum ... but in a drink!?

Add to that the effects of consuming so much mercury. Protein powders way damage the kidneys, there will always be conflicting evidence (sponsored research) but it has it's uses, it's a supplement - SUPPLEMENT, not a meal replacement. it has it's uses. it packs out fluid with the equivalent of a high protein meal, sometime more

Why nope? What's not vegetarian?

Indeed, the medical journals I've read on it give good information. I'll admit to an inflammatory initial post :wink: I don't actually dispute that certain groups of people (for example pregnant ladies or elite athletes) may require supplements, but, it is pointless for the majority. The way it is marketed as beneficial for everyone is completely false advertising and should be stopped.

Don't know how the quality/prices compare to Bulk Powders, but as regards flavours, I have tended to buy one flavoured and one unflavoured (the unflavoured is usually cheaper) and blend them 50/50.

Bought 25 boxes. Will these get me big like Arnold?

Some will say whey powder (and dairy in general) creates inflammation. Our bodies should be alkaline but dairy makes them acidic and cancers thrive more in acidic conditions.

Some say take vegan protein, like soy but then some say soy gives you man boobs and causes low mood.

I think a lot of people read these online snippets and take them all as scientific fact. There are loads of different agendas out there. Traditional body builders will swear by whey and look down on vegan whey - but vegan body builders are out there working out fine.

In short - everything is bad for you depending on who you speak to.

Does anyone double scoop these per serving to get over 40g of protein?

This I 100% agree with. Too many people (casual gym goers especially) with the impression that if they train a few days a week and chuck a load of shakes down everyday they'll look like the roid-fuelled fitness models marketing the next special-blend breakthrough-supplement they're paid to do (and not just whey).
But after creatine and maybe a multi, protein supplements can have their place in someone's diet for convenience if they do in fact need to hit macro targets above the average person.
For that reason this is definitely a good deal provided the right person is buying it - just like a deal on tampons would be for a woman, but not so much a bloke :laughing:

Cheers is it around 100cals per scoop?
Id be looking to have 5-6 scoops per day

nutritional info is via the link but ... yeah

That is so true, I also have the same with a strawberry cream one!

Personally I find that a shake afterwards helps reduce the ache the following day, so for me its worth it in that regard.

Looks like its coming up at £40 for 5kg. Is that right?

Absolute rubbish from all the people saying whey protein is useless etc. I went from 11 stone to 14 1/2 stone in a year at university by lifting weights, eating healthily and supplementing with the basic cheap Myprotein impact whey post workout in a shake with maltodextrin/dextrose/creatine or mixing with oats for breakfast.

Whey protein isn't a miracle supplement for building muscle but it's an extremely cheap and bioavailable source of protein that's infinitely preferable to eating an extra two tins of tuna/10 eggs/tow chicken breasts a day to get that extra protein. If used properly it's an incredibly useful dietary supplement for people looking to get fit and gain muscle.

Why do you think every rugby and NFL team, most Premier League football teams and most high achieving athletes use it?!

Cheers guys, just ordered now. £29.99 for 5kg chocolate brownie.

It seems the barrel bag offer isn't on anymore, but if you spend over £30 you qualify for a free vest. No code required, just add it to your basket http://m.myprotein.com/all-offers/free-vest.list

What I did was add a small scoop to my basket for 35p, which took me over the £30 required.

Thanks again.

How you getting it to that price?

I also added a scope for £0.65 to take it over £30 so could get a free vest training top worth £9.99 which is automatically discounted at the checkout.

ScoopaDoopa - Use code IWP5KG

I think, what people should be doing is looking at people of have stopped using all this shake stuff. They usualy get fat once they stop. Hear the stories all the time from past gym users.

Most of the chaps I spoke to are split on the subject of shakes, but looking at them, I wont recommend it to anyone.

Protein bar for running yeah, but no whey!

I say, do your research before using any supplements for any sort of training.

Wow thanks so much, just about to run out!!

What are the best flavours of this? I usually go for Vanilla when from BulkPowders ... When does this deal expire btw?

Thanks,

do people actually drink this ****? Just eat well, id never succumb to this

It seems to add the cost of the bag when going to checkout?

Doesn't work? It's a protein of course it does something, changing your diet can work of course at what cost?

This is a little extra, makes a dam nice milkshake!! what's the average cost of 2 milkshakes per day well over £1 and this size bag lasts a few months.

Yeah, that promotion ended. You can check the latest promotions here http://www.myprotein.com/voucher-codes.list Seems the current offer (2nd one down in the list) is a free vest if you spend £30

Will this give me 5kg muscle mass gains within 1 week if I use the whole pack within that time?

Hot. :smiley:

To the nay-sayers - yeah, no one needs this, and for the man on the street who isn't training it's completely pointless.
But if you're training hard, a high protein diet gives you a different result. Get over it.

Sorry? You're too late or It's too late? When does this deal expire as wont be ordering until the end of the week ...

Thanks

Does it not blow your **** out though?

One thing I cant stand about shakes and bars.

Stracciatella, Salted Caramel and Choc Brownie are my faves - I stick to these as I like to add peanut butter, which probably wouldn't go with Lemon Cheesecake!

It seems ridiculous that a product like this is so ridiculed by people with such narrow minds, especially something that is both healthy and convenient. I really don't fancy opening a can of Tuna in the David Lloyd changing rooms, or using a portable gas stove to cook a Chicken Breast.

I can explain why a sweeping generalisation like that is completely meaningless with basic arithmetic using very conservative numbers.
Say a product has 10 ingredients that should work (same have many more), now each persons body has say 5 different types of needs, lets say 5 different types of diets, 3 types of lifestyle (stress, sleep, etc), and 3 types of exercise regimes, that's 2250 combinations, using extremely conservative numbers. If anyone thinks they can say these products don't work in all 2250+ combinations, they're either ignorant or extremely arrogant.

And btw, there's mountains of credible scientific evidence to show they do work. Despite what you might read on blogs and magazines with their hyperbolic clickbait headlines. The only thing that may be misunderstood is the degree to which they may effect. Read up on anything by Ray Kurzweil who has compiled the research if you want to know more.

Using code 'Workout' makes a 5 kg bag £32.75 plus p&p. It was never £29.99 delivered, should have been expired on Saturday and now it becomes a featured deal which means it would be spamming HUKD for days to come. Do these retailers pay HUKD for these 'featured deals'? Bought choc/peanut butter 2.5 kg for £24.06 after wasting time on this wild goose chase so-called deal. Should have been expired long time ago instead of being made featured deal.

Can't see why anyone buys this rubbish. I'd sooner steer clear of steroids and stay healthy by maintaining a balanced diet and getting plenty of exercise, thanks.

don't know why it would do that? Whey contains less than 1% lactose and if you choose a 'natural' flavour there's no added artificial sweeteners.

Try using code IWP5KG for £31.98 delivered, that's what this deal is and about 60p cashback from Quidco too. Deal was working this morning when I ordered.

This thread <3

Only thing I'd add is that you don't need 1g per lb. it's a myth and not based on good science. Studies tend to play out around 0.6 to 0.75g per lb.

Heat added, thanks OP. If not already mentioned - 2% with topcashback (because of use of voucher code)

i got the free protien shaker with a deal but how does this even work? can anyone advise? its has different compartments within the shaker which i can remove and some kind of steel keyring type of thing..

thanks

So far I've tried Cookie Dough, Mocha and Strawberry Cream flavours. As much as I like the Strawberry Cream, it's way too foamy and takes forever to settle. Does anyone have any other recommendations?

Says an Apple fan.....

Because my smartphone preference has what to do with my training and diet...?

Excellent deal. I've bought two x 2.5kg impact whey regularly in the past for £45 so £60 for double that is a steal. Anyone that thinks it doesn't taste nice hasn't tried the Salted Caramel flavour..... it's absolutely gorgeous and don't worry about the salted in the name as there is no salt or taste of salt, just a delicious light caramel flavour. You could drink it purely for the taste!!

I don't consume enough protein in my normal diet, unless I make an effort to either buy/eat tuna OR use protein shakes.
When I don't put in the effort, I am basically vegetarian.
I have been partaking in sport (and weight training) for over 20 years and protein shakes are a must.

If you attempt to ingest all your required protein demands through normal food, the amount of bulk which you will eat, could make you over-weight and certainly wouldn't be good if you are shedding body fat.

For example, right now, I am shedding body fat. For the last 18 months I have been eating whatever I wanted (most of my protein came from food) while getting stronger and adding muscle. The time has now come to shed body fat to keep my body in check. To do this I am doing a lot of exercise (weight training and cardio vascular workouts). I am also having 2 x 50g protein shakes per day and attempting to reduce calories as much as possible. I would say that I am roughly on 1800 calories per day, while I am using about 3000 calories. Protein intake is high, to preserve muscle as much as possible. The aim is to lose fat, not muscle.

Now, if I decide to just eat food (no protein shakes), I'd need to buy meat and probably end up eating that with something like rice/pasta. This would add extra calories and completely defeat the object of losing fat.

The protein shake allows me to take on protein, while avoiding excess (bulk) calories. Protein shakes are what bodybuilders use, when they are shredding and preparing for competitions. Without protein shakes, this task would be incredibly difficult.

For those who are "normal" and don't exercise as much, I would agree that protein shakes are overkill. But for those like me, who exercise 1-3 hours per day and are shedding body fat, protein shakes are a must.

It is also worth reading the comment March 26, 2012 at 15:01 and response which discusses daily calorie intake in conjunction with what is discussed about protein intake in the article.

Also, http://www.muscleforlife.com/how-much-protein-build-muscle/ has some information backed by research links about protein intake. The link to http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10722779 regarding protein intake and whether there is a possible risk to kidney function may be reassuring to some.



It is likely to be a smart shaker and will have extra storage compartments for holding pills/tablets and extra powders. See the description: http://www.myprotein.com/protein-accessories/myprotein-smartshaketm-large-black-800ml/11091441.html?autocomplete=productsuggestion

The key ring part quoted sounds like a karabiner. The product I linked to in a previous comment shows one and the shaker having a grill. If indeed the protein shaker is similar to the supplied one.

Just bought 2 flavoured ones for £59.98 with a free wifebeater t-shirt.

Is my protein any good? Seems like the cheapest out of all the protein companies

Hilarious how people are whinging about this. If you don't want it, sod off.

Hot, because it's a GOOD DEAL.

Steroids? lolwtf

Also 15% Quidco

This isnt working for me, its showing as £57 for 5KG which discounts down to £40

Not to mention the extra strain this puts on your kidneys

For every bodybuilding/fitness site's fully referenced article on supplements and required protein intake you see, you will see another bodybuilding/fitness site with an equally referenced article stating the contrary.

There are few definitive answers in the world of fitness; your kidneys won't blow up with excess protein intake; someone may be more in need of the BENEFITS of a protein shake than others; supplements do very little harm unless you supplement with poison; whey protein is not a steroid, nor has any dangers as such etc etc.

If this thread was a Wikipaedia article it would have a massive **** off banner at the top saying it is due for removal due to lack of citation.

Biggest load of bullocks I read in ages..
You got fat because your diet was poor, not because you been drinking protein shakes previously lol

How long is the code valid for?

Just running out of my 2.5kg MY-Protein.....Thanks. :smiley:

Valid until midnight on the 28th for those saying this is no longer working it works fine just the deal with the bag has now expired so add a free vest instead on orders over £30

How do u get the barrel bag free on a £40 spend. Added it to basket once adding 2 5kg at £29.99 each so well over a £40 spend and it doesn't discount the cost of the bag. Any ideas. Thanks

This site makes me run out of money :.(

Doesn't seem to work any more? :'(

That promo ended. You can check the latest promotions here http://www.myprotein.com/voucher-codes.list Seems the current offer (2nd one down in the list) is a free vest if you spend £30

It's expired now. Dam

I saw the irony myself but I was too far into it to go back. There'd still be people honking down 200g+ of protein daily for years with no ill effects, but guidelines are just that.

Did I mention I have mine with milk? lol. Even with the Zero Bars, my gentlemens room habits completely change with eating shakes and bars.

Cannot do it with water, makes me gag.

scientific tests were completed on all these protein drinks and although it does get to your muscles quicker it shows no actual enhancement or performance than just having a healthy balanced diet which includes meats. BBC trust me I'm a doctor! Waste of money in my opinion!

It can benefit a lot of people who don't keep well, lots of people have illnesses or auto immune problems so this might be the very thing to help them keep their nutrient & protein levels up as they don't have the strength or ability to prepare & cook a healthy diet.
It's not a debate forum, it's a discount/deals/bargain website here.

What a **** you are lol. you asked me a question and I answered with the limited information you gave.
No you didn't mention you took it with milk, in fact you didn't give any reason why ' it blows your **** out ' so I made a general assumption that as Whey is a dairy product you may have mistaken it as containing lactose, you know the thing a large number of people have trouble digesting, tell you what don't quote me again.

Back to £57 following the link

well my 5kg has just been delivered in less than 24 hours with the cheapest £1.99 delivery so top marks for service.

what flavours do people recommend?

Also, if anyone is in E1. EC3, EC4 area don't mind getting two for free delivery.

Valid point sir!

Ordered mines Sunday night and received it today in the post. Cheers op!

Ps. this thread getting out of control, if you like protein shakes, then great, pick yourself a bargain. If not, then why are you even here?

Well stop debating my point of view then! (and go and read up on it on such websites as Trust Me I'm a Doctor on the bbc)

Thank you

I have found a different source for 80% Whey @£5.75/Kg
I strongly agree. For people who have compromised digestive systems due to bacterial infection which is far more common than you might believe at well over 60%. In fact every person with an autoimmune disease, cancer, practically every elderly citizen and possibly dementia/alzheimers.is affected. High quality and quickly digested liquid protein can make all the difference.

I have found a different source for 80% Whey @£5.75/Kg I was about to put an order together. I have ordered other stuff from the company before.

Discount Code expired on: 23 Feb 2016 23:55

I'm not arguing with you or disagreeing with what your opinion is, yes I've seen the show, it's an interesting show, I have it on series record.

My point is that these protein powders can actually be of help to individuals who rely on easy mix food stuffs to make into a shake, or add to a smoothie, or porridge. Individuals who perhaps rarely have enough energy to crawl to the kitchen most days, that are not fit enough to purchase, then make a healthy nutritious meal the way normal people can.
It's a bit like 'complan' to some individuals, these offer slightly better value as well as nicer flavours too.

I'm not here to debate or argue, just merely pointing out that there is other uses for such products.
Hope my explanation is a bit more understandable now for what I mean about different usage of the product.

Gutted that I missed this deal. Really p!ssed off in fact.

20kg arrived today plus 4 t shirts , will keep me going for a year

Many thanks OP

IPW5KG is still working for me?

Not for me? How are you using it?

Code not working

Is this deal for all flavours?

Received mine yesterday. It's huge. Had to struggle to find a place to keep...it's really a lot of proteins!

Unfortunately not working for me as well.

Not working

You are by far the dumbest person EVER lol , i weight trained for ten years with the same attitude as you and gained little, ive now been back at the gym for six years taking 180g protein on workout days and im 18 stone of muscle.

Code isn't working :disappointed:

IWP5KG still works

wasn't working 1hr ago, now Working /could be a glitch, if you need to buy , buy now

You must have gained something in those 10 years but I get what your saying some people on here the are better of saying nothing. its just not feasible to eat and digest the same amount ((some foods you can up the intake))when training you have to take the supplements...........

Just bought - Salted Caramel 5KG. Cheers!

Lol why are you getting so butthurt? I know what Whey is, its a by product of cheese. The bars are the same.

Jeez, its not a pen1s, don't take it so hard.

Which flavour is good?

Code expired

So dumb I can read and understand a medical paper stating that anything more than 20g of whey has no increased MPS imapct but increased amino acid oxidisation and urea generation.
Like I've said before, it's your money. I just laugh at you. And your fake tan. And your tiny legs. And your waxed chest. And your Chinese restaurant menu inked up your side. And your constant preening in the mirror. And your gym selfies. And your drop v teeshirts.

Have manufacturers been advertising whey to non-athletes or something? Is that why people are getting their knickers in a twist?

For athletes, whey is a convenient, cheap source of protein. For anyone else, it's a waste of calories that could be spent on something nicer.

So you looked at one research paper and now you're an expert?

Here's a meta analysis of a number of different research studies which shows that WP does indeed have a positive effect on resistance training in the average person.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24724774

Barry, Barry, Barry....read my post again my dear fellow.

Barry, I've not got time to fully digest all of the papers' abstracts that you have linked to, however, there is an indication to me that the experiments are based upon people of exceptional circumstance. That is elderly, obese etc. Also, backing up my early comment you replied to, all the additives appear to be in the region of 20g addition, no more. Hence, I think we probably agree. And again, I summarise that this is a ridiculous life-style choice for normal fit and healthy people that *could* do more harm than good (ingestion of protein supplement above 20g results in excess amino acid oxidisation, no physiology studies can be looked at for the effects of this yet) and as such, a waste of money. Joe Bloggs who goes to the gym, pulls some selfies, drinks loads of shakes, will not benefit above and beyond their normal diet. Cheers,

what's with the homophobic jokes?

Oh dear someone who thinks they know more than everyone else.

What is so wrong with trying to look good ? you probably dont get washed or shaved.

To gain muscle you need to lift heavy weights, eat often throughout the day consisting of lean chicken/steak/fish/eggs with some vegies and fruit drink lots of water and get some sleep. Don't eat prcocessed and sugar laden rubbish.

If you don't have time for cooking and preparing 24-7 then protein shakes help cover the gaps. End of.

That's it is it? That's your come-back? Are you old enough to buying this stuff, mate? Actually writing insults like Dumbest Person Ever! and You Don't Wash OR Shave. It's no real surprise you believe the photos over the words is it? :smile: Bless...

THE CODE IS EXPIRED PEOPLE!!!

code works for me.
also a free hat and shaker.

The man in the picture has spina bifida, I don't think you should be using his picture to ridicule him.
If he has weight trained to make the best of the body he does have, why should you make fun of him and his efforts ?

Not at all. My comment was actually the opposite. That people buying this should know if they need to or not.

Soz Nessi, let's pick another random chortle-fest from the internet:

Anyone have the best before dates on these? Still have a couple of bags of impact diet whey to get through.

Leave Tay Tay alone, you replied to the wrong person haha

The code is working again :smile:

9.55am

Good shout on this flavour, damn nice, my new favourite <3

Free Skinny protein bites available now as well. I bought 5kg Chocolate Brownie, 5kg Salted caramel, packet of 6 x skinny protein bites, a free beanie hat and a free mixer for £59.98 delivered.

Such obvious of signs of jealousy.
So sad you feel the need to resort to petty insults.

Gosh, I LOVE this group, but people of the U.K. PLEASE ..........

If you see a deal that you think is NOT for you, then please scroll on past. :confused:

If people want to buy the deal/offer/discount etc., then let them.
We don't need every single Police force out slagging off others personal choices or tastes.
In this thread it's the Whey Police & their Proein Patrol.
It's boring now & people are having to scroll past loads of useless information & daft pictures that is completely irrelevant to them, to allow them to pick up any more information on the deal that may be of interest.

It's not big & it's not clever. Grow up. :disappointed:

He's probably about 12, skinny & spotty.......he will grow out of it bless :wink:
Moving on.....hopefully he will go away if we ignore him now :wink:

Anybody have any tips on how to store the protein powder? I knew it was going to be big .. but.. WOW. it's a HUGE bag of protein hahahha

How do you get the free beanie and shaker?

mint chocolate tastes really good. any other flavour recommendations?

This expired now? I cant get the code to work
