lol I don't even have a "channel" Hey..I went to "wallyworld" and I bought a container that said "Eggs" on it but I thought it was "cheese"? lol Yes I must be out of my league going up against someone that thinks something labeled creatine is protein.
@backyardcapitalist creatine is for strength, recovery and helps put some size on, it is not for dieting, you need to do a high protein diet and ow carbs and supplement your diet with a good shake like Supreme whey on our site and also for a good weight loss try the Super Ripped tabs. i did a video or two on creatine if you want to see it in it in my channel
@TheMusclesmagee HaHa, I've seen your channel and read some of your "comments". You calling anyone a retard is like being told to sit up straight by the Huntchback of Notre Dame. You are truly out of your league trying to mix words with me. Go away boy.

@abmm10 no PCT needed cause Superdrol is not in it anymore but it is always a good idea to do like a Liver Kleen we have from Country Life it is good normal health maintenance to do a cleanse anyway
@rickmartis1 thanks for the videos rick. just a quick question, earlier you said that protein over 90% doesn't exist. now that this video is almost 3 years old, what is the new max, 97? I no that ultimate nutritions iso sensation 93 is 93 percent protein per scoop
@chrisiztheman1618 90% is still about the best i have a video coming out tonight if you hit Subscribe. i saw the ultimate one i think they are not being truthful on the label cause when i looked at it it had cholesterol and a whey isolate at 90% or more cannot have cholesterol so something is wrong with them on that product
Super NOX has Superdrol... I don't know if you know this but superdrol is a highly toxic prohormone and the MOST potent it should only be done by experienced people with proper cycle assist and PCt.. putting it in a pre workout is one of the dumbest and most unethical things I've heard of a supplement company doing.
@plokman55 again buddy READ THE LABEL Super NOX has not had Superdrol in it in over 2 years and when it did have it in there we did recomend a PCT and guys loved the product and the results like they still do today. we had no complaints that were negative about it, and the new improved Super NOX ll which is what we have out now and for the last 2 years is totally legal and safe and we get rave reviews on it thanks again
I loved your explanation on WHY our bodies need protein every few hours: keeping up nitrogen levels and staying in an anabolic state vs dropping to a catabolic state. There are so many sources out there that tell you what to do without getting into reasoning, but that's what I liked about your explanation.
That said, many sources suggest taking "timed-release" Casein protein before sleeping. Since you don't support this, will a Whey shake before sleep suffice?
@kiranb28 yes a good whey before bed is a much better choice, time release has no advantage it is just hype to sell an inferior protein , your body needs down time to rest and not digest protein all night, you dont get good REM sleep if you are digesting foods, you wont lose muscle mass while you sleep ha ha that is a bunch of crap and just hype to sell a cheap protein
@eaedh702 it is pretty good we only carry the 2544 by them . i prefer to make my own with no sugar by using a good whey isolate and adding in carboplex from cytosport. making you own you can not only get better proteins but 0 sugar and you can also adjust how many carbs you want per protein grams
hey i seen your videos on YouTube i been watching your videos i was wondering what kind of protein is good for people who are in boxing....
i also went to the local GNC store and i asked him what kind of protein is good for what i do i told him i wanted to lose some weight but at the same time build muscle so he recommended a protein shake named Hardcore series precision Engineered syntha phase.And i was wondering what are your opinions on this type of protein. please give me feedback. Thanks
@MrRoyjones95 we are generally 40% less than GNC, the supreme whey we have is in the mid $40's for 5 lbs and it would be $80 in GNC it is a good low carb, since you are trying to add muscle but lose weight, or a top of the line protein see the Isolate Sports One we have on sale 2 lbs is normally $49.95 we have it for $29.95 plus you buy 1 get one for half so you get 2 for $45. thanks
@MrRoyjones95 i just answered you and also maybe add in some creatine like the Millennium Nutrition 500 grams we have for $26.95 and a good preworkout drink like Super NOX , chekcout my site and if you need help let me know

@podolanfifa if you read any of my posts OPtimum is my least favorite company. they make decent stuff today but i dont like the way they made it to near the top, when they started out they were busted several times by Muscle Media 2000 (Bill Phillips) for not making label claim and making extra money from ripping people off and i dont like giving cash to these kind of guys
I'm trying to get lean and cut, and im not sure what else to take along with creatine to help me get some muscle, im lean but don't wanna get too bulky since im only 5'6. What could i take sir?
@cervezero11 go to my site and in the search line type Super Ripped Tabs they are great for cutting up they are also found in the WEIGHT LOSS section of the site, then also a good clean protein like E2 Pro Charge, you can also do a search or look under PROTEIN or Meal Replacements , we are doing a buy 5 get one free so you can get 48 serivngs for only $49.95 they will both do just what you want thanks
Great videos.I currently have Cytogainer as my weignt gainer and take a half a serving after a workout and sometimes another half a serving before bed. I am looking for another weight gainer to try out and not sure which one is better.Up your Mass Gainer, True Mass by BSN, Real Mass by Gaspari, Pro Complex Gainer, Iso Mass Xtreme Gainer by Ultimate Nutrion or Lean Body mass60?Is it ok blending in milk after w.o or is it better in water for faster absorption?How about blended in water and banana?
@raulgomez902 cytogainer is very good and use water, 2 scops 2-3 times a day like you are doing is fine, True mass is the worst any other one is ok, i like making my own with a good whey isolate like the Bioplex Pure WPI we have and i mix it with Cytocarb cause sometimes i want a gainer with the carbs like post workout but in between meals just do the protein with no carbs, plus by doing your own gainer like this you are getting a much higher quality protein by using an isolate thanks
@rickmartis1 Thanks for the reply. So you recommend in water only not in milk right? I was worried because milk would slow down the absorption after a w.o but is Cytogainer good with milk before bed?I just purchased Cytocarb like you recommended and will sometimes mix with Gold Standard whey which I have to make my own gainer as you said. Ive heard maltodextrins are bad and will research more but for now I will just stick to water if it is better than with milk for faster absorption post wo
@raulgomez902 water is better cause you are already getting enough protein in the powder and you dont want to take to much protein at one sitting. you will get gas and this is a sign of taking to much at one time or bad absorbtion, plus milk adds alot of cost and hormones you dont need
your last video got cut off about the percentage of protiens
i started drinking the Optimum Nutrition protien, the ingredients list whey isolate first. and i was jsut curious if that is in fact what i am looking for.
@Russellt0228 divid the protein per sevring by the serving size if it is close to 90% it is good, we have 3 on our site like this under PROTEINS Sports One whey Isolate, Bioplex Pure WPI and Isopure
@snowmen95 all the gainers usually say like 4 scoops for example but that is to much at one time, it is better to take half a serving 2 times a day than a huge shake all at once, take shakes in between meals and whenever you cant eat ever 3 hours. alternate shakes with meals even till you get 6-8 meals a day shakes included, if you want size you have to consume massive calories but the key is absorbtion and you need to spread it out evenly all day long, so meal, shake, meal, shake all day
@snowmen95 and a gainer only cost about $2 each at the most and you cant get a high quality meal for $2 so incorporate shakes into your diet as a meal and you actually are not spending more on your food budget, you are saving money and getting the proper nutrition and calories your body needs to GROW
hello my friend i have a doubt i posted on the body building forum suplement area and they bash me when you divide the grams of protein per serving divided with the serving size scoop youl get the % of protein an example 20 grams divided in to 28 is 74% protein 74% of 20 is 14.5 that is tthe actually amount of protein per serving size scoop its no really 20 or is that the % of pure protein in a serving size scoop?
@ELkamikaze29 diviid the protein per serving by the serving size and that gives you a % of how much of the product is protein the best that you can buy are like a 22 gram serving size that give 20 grams protein this is .90 or in other words 90% it is that simple we have several of those at the best price anywhere and it gets no better than that if you do it with ANY protein on the market
@rickmartis1 that means that no company can support their label claims and is you got a 80% protein like my nature best perfect whey 22 grams per serving legitimate are like 16 or 17? the guy that works in gaspari exploded when i posted this saying that i was liying and that gaspari and the big conpanies have a process that ensure label claims before and after they leave the factory did you believe that?
@ELkamikaze29 big companies like Gaspari are true on their labels, but like i said do the math and see the % of protein based on the label fact panel, nobody can dispute you on that,,the math is the math and that is the way it is. if a protein has say 50 grams protein per serving but look at what the serving SIZE is, if it is 70 grams then it is a 71% protein...period it is that simple...a gram is a gram and no protein is any more concentrated than another it is just simply what % of it is
@ELkamikaze29 protein,,get it? some companies fool you thinking their protein is 50 grams it is not more concentrated,,,you just need to take a bigger serving to get 50 grams like maybe 70 grams is the serving
.legit companies dont play the 50 grams of protein game at a 70 gram serving size which is normally 2 scoops, but they will say 20 grams protein in only a 22 grams scoop so you see? 2 scoops of this would give 40 grams protein with only having to take 44 grams of product, it is all a
@rickmartis1 its not the best protein out there but its way better that bsn and muscle tech and a lot cheaper like you said its not so good but its good
@rickmartis1 i respect what your doing you are telling the truth to the kids that are starting in this i been training for 15 years am an old dog in this i remeber way back in 1998 when muscle tech started they had great items like acetabolan, anostesten.nortesten also the first nitro tech and cell tech and meso tech were very good about sports pharma just whey its not the best protein out there for sure but its not the worst also its a medium quality protein not so good not so bad
@ELkamikaze29 EAS really went to hell after phillips left and quality is not near what it used to be and met rx is not as good as when Dr Connolly owned it either but it is still decent anyway , metrx used to use a very expenvive swedish milk protein but over the years like most companies they cheapened it up a bit but it is still not as bad as most out there
@rickmartis1 yeah i tested the mt-rex supreme whey and its 75% the same as my sports pharma i also tested isopure just whey and its 78% decent gold standard is like 90 % but i heard that they are putting lead ,mercury and arzenic in his protein thats nuts?
@ELkamikaze29 Of all companiies Optimum is the worse, if you knew 1 tenth what i knew about what they used to get away with to get where they are today you wouldnt give them a dime. i only carry about 3 of their products and i never tell people to buy from them. the only reason i have them is because if i didnt and i slammed them then it would look like i am slamming them cause i do have it,.but by having their junk i offer people to buy it but i would never ask them to get it? dont trust them
@rickmartis1 so the rumors are truth, i will stick with sports pharma that optimum by the way what dou you think about this brand they were vert popular in the late 90s and early 00 they went famous with that thermogenic therma core
@ELkamikaze29 sportpharma in the late 90s was huge and they died out after their vanadyl product fizzed out, they used to be one of the biggest companies out there but then again in the 90s there was not many competitors either. it is funny to see how times have changed and companies come and go and who is big now, i never dreamed 22 years ago i would see all these changes but it is all good, i had a great run in this industry and it was fun watching it all play out
@rickmartis1 i agree i remember eas mt-rex muscle tech in the beginin prolab,optimun sports pharma now every kid believe all the hype in magazines adds every one wants to use bsn and muscle tech nothing else i rember seeing ronie coleman using like 6 scoops of syntha 6 after training well a 50% protein i imagine why
@ELkamikaze29 he never touched syntha 6 in his life he just gets the money to say it. if he does take it he is not real bright it is the cheapest whey outr there and LOADED with cholesterol
@ELkamikaze29 do the math on syntha 6 it is a 48% protein that is horrible!!!! plus like i said look at the cholesterol it is the highest on any protein i have ever seen..here is a tip; the bigger the company and the bigger the 8 page ads the more they scrimp on selling the cheapest product they can get away with to make up for ad costs and big overhead and also to maximize profits believe me i been doing this 22 years and know all the tricks, this statement applies to almost every company
@rickmartis1 hahaha yeah i know even gnc pro performance whey protein complex is 60% so bsn its a super scam but like i said in the past the companies make quality products i don,t understand why all this garbage now i think that the fda should check all the i suplements companies
Ok...sorry if i bother you again...two more question to know about and thats all.First,if i take protein shake,let's say for 6 months and than i quit on them but still train and do good exercises...will my muscle mass disapear and become fat or i will be ok?And second,it depends in what protein shake i choose ?cause i want something,let's say regular.Sorry if i botherd you,i don't know so much about proteins.Thanks again!
@razvy94rmx Firstly, whey protein is not a supplement, it is a food just like chicken. All that matters is that you are eating 1g of protein/lb of bodyweight. Secondly, muscles are made buy eating enough. Weightlifting is a catabolic effect and eating is anabolic, both need to take place to gain muscle. Weightlifting without eating enough protein will just make you smaller and eating without weightlifting will make you fat. Lastly, muscle doesn't turn into fat, they are two separate tissues.
@razvy94rmx My advice is to take a nutrition class and learn about a proper diet before you step foot in a gym because with your limited knowledge you will be wasting your time and money and more importantly even do harm do yourself. I am not trying to insult you in any way but you really need an education before you start worrying about muscles and I wouldn't get it from a salesman at a supplement store.
Thank you for your response!well,i actully don't want to be bodybuilder or so,but i do want to be in my very best shape.I like the way i am,i just want to be more solid if you know what i mean.I would like to gain some weight,but still to have the same muscles that i have now.i asked you because i wanted to consult a professionist befor i take proteins shake,and i think its a good idea because like i said before i make a sport and i sweat a lot.Thanks again for your response!
@razvy94rmx protein in shakes are like proteins from food they just assimilate better and cost much less, shakes are just protein food and not exotic or weird they are just an alternate way to get more protein in your diet
I want to tell you something...i've been lifting weights for 1 year i think...and i'm in great shape!all my muscles are visible but still i'm too skiny...i'm almost 17 and i have 54 kilos i think...and that for me is very little...my problem is that my body seems to dont acumulate the proteins from food(also i do a sport where i sweat very much) and i want you to ask me at this question : it is ok if i take some proteins,so that my body can gain more proteins?Sorry for my english,please respond!
@razvy94rmx protein is most important thing you can take the more amino acids you get from proteins in foods or in shake form the more lean muscle you will put on call us if u need help 800 848 2599
@FireDepartment619 it looks like i need to do another video, there is way to much confusion out there about protein shakes. they are nothing foreign or unusual to your body, shakes are just another way of getting the protein your body needs to build and sustain muscle. it is just another source of getting protein rather than eating foods that have protein in it. also shakes are a cheaper way to get protein, an average shake only costs $1 and you cant get a good meal for that. thanks
I have really enjoyed your videos. I work at a GNC and have still learned a lot from your videos. Do you guys sell allmax nutrition's iso natural? it is at 93% if I am not mistaking. It is a 30g serving for 28 grams of protein. Thanks
great video, very informative! So i was wondering if u can help me with this concern i have about taking creatine. I have many friends that took it and got great results, however, ones they stop taking it they all lost if not all then a good amount of their gains. I wanted to ask ur opinion if u think creatine is a good supplement to take in the long run of lets say 5 years
@superpetras your body makes creatine from 3 amino acids that you get in foods but in small quantities you normally have it in you anyway taking extra as a supplement just helps with strength and size gains and if you take minimal doses like 5-10 grams a day and take off every 6 weeks for a few weeks you can do this indefinately thanks
Rick...thank you. Extremely informative from part 1 right through to the very end, i posted a question on another previous video of yours, i have assertained (prempted) your answer from the statements and position you put forth in your "all about protein" videos, but if you wanted to review the product i prementioned ii would be very intrested in your personal evaluation of Maximuscle Cyclone.
@ddbd i dont know that one but to see if it is any good, assuming it is a company we can trust that they are not lying on the label,,,but do what i say in the video and use the label to calculate the the % of protein and if it is over 80% it is pretty good
@ddbd Maximuscle products are very high quality BUT they're extremely over priced. Cyclone is a great product, and if you have the money then I would highly recommend it. But if not, try using PhD Synergy instead. It does the same job but it costs half the price (and tastes better!)
I'm thinking about getting the 5lb Pure WPI which is $60 on your site, but if I wanted to get 10lbs of the WPI, I would being paying $40 more for the same (give or take a gram of protein per serving) size of ON's 10lb bag of whey. I realize these are two different products, so there understandably might not be a 'match or beat any price' to go with this, but I'm wondering if you've ever made adjustments for products that are similar.
@iamthe3rd if they were similiar we would match but there is no comparison ..the pure wpi is 90% protein...you dont take total protein to figure a gram or 2...look at sering size!!! WPI is 20 grams out of a 22 gram serving,,also look at cholesterol on both that is a tipoff if a good and a crap protein Optimum is not good look for yourself at label
@iamthe3rd take total protein in a serving then look at the top of label where is says serving SIZE so divid the total protein by the serving size...in the Pure WPI case 20 diviided by 22= 90% Optimum is not even close to this also again do you really need a good % of your daily cholesterol in a shake? Optimum is cheap
@SuperStan1982 it is ok, i am not an optimum fan and will never carry their products at all it goes back to when they started out years ago and i wont get into that right now
sucalose is one of the better sweetners used but there is still some controvsery over it, if it is a concern to you then get the Natural flavor has no sweenters and no flavoring it is just pure protein kind of bland but all the flavors mix with a spoon or a quick shake..thanks
the product i am taking suggests serving size to be 4 scoops (265g) and it contains 56g of protein per serving. so roughly 66g per scoop
containg 14g of protein. thus, 14 / 66 = 21%. is this correct?
i am looking to bulk and gain weight and this product has 1000 calories, 17g
of sugar, and over 100g of carb . i looked into other protein like isopure and i know it is a good product, but it doesn't contain enough calories and carbs. any recommendations will be greatly appreciated. thanks!
yes u did the math right,,it is an ok product a little high on the sugar and carbs but still decent. an ideal ratio of protein to carbs is 2 or 3 carbs to 1 protein . i like the the Cytogainer from Cytosport is a good one and about 1.5 grams carbs to 1 gram protein and also only 5 sugar thanks
thanks for the prompt and quick reply. i will try cytogainer after i am done with this tub. keep up the great videos and thanks for educating us noobs!
what are your thoughts on met-rx metomyosyn whey protien and all its other protien products? o and EAS protien products? -- love that stuff.......thanks for the helpful info
EAS used to be huge but when Bill Phillips sold out they went down the tubes the quality is not near what it was in the 1990's,,metrx is still good and we have plenty of others that are good too... choose from as well..... see the post i did right before this one thanks
met-r protein products, and if yes, which one is the best? Or should I consult with a doctor first to see if I can take them? I am planning on dong a combination of cardio and weight lifting, and will plan out a good diet as well. Carbs and proteins being my priority. So, what can you advice me? I plan to start my training next week, and I know the location of a met-r store somewhat near my home, so should i talk to a sales rep in person, a doctor? ??? Please help! Thank you for your time.
Hey, I'll turn 19 in 3 months, and I am wondering if my body is can take Met-Rx protein supplements. I am 5'8 and weight 180lbs. I have about 10 pounds of extra fat in my abdomen but everything else is lean body mass. I am not used to working out but now I am extremely determined to start working out 3 days wee at the gym in my college. I have poor eating habits and sometimes only eat once a day, and I still continue to gain weight (which I'm happy for). So, is it ok for me to start taking
yes met rx or any good quality of protein is a must..taking shakes is not much different than eating protein in food, in fact shakes are cleaner than food and actually much cheaper so if you incorpoarte shakes into your food budget you get the quality of protein your body needs to grow AND you will be saviong money from not buying as much food, shakes cost like $1 a shake.. where can you get a good quality meal that gives 40 grams of protein for $1 no where thanks
Hey Rick! I am about 200-205 pounds and im trying to get down to about 180-185. I am currently using Whey and I will buy my next batch from you. I want to gain more strength, not really mass (I like the althletic look). I have been thinking about getting some creatine just to add strength...i only do body weight excersises pretty much. I am decently cut with the exception of some belly fat, but I am looking to get more cut up. What fairly priced products do you think would benefit me best?
our tech line can tell you more cause this is alot to type 321 727 8871 ...but i personally drink the Bioplex Pure WPI it is a great protein and will put on lean muscle the best, i drink 5 scoops a day spread out thru the day this is 100 grams of protein, then i eat about 100 grams of protein also.. and yes cycle creatine a few
every few months, we also have alot of good natural hormone boosters, you can take it as far as you want,it depends on your budget but you can easily get protein, creatine, homone booster, NO2 product, pre workout supp, i do that all and more, just depends again how far you want to go with it
Hi Rick, thank you for all the great info :) but I was wondering what you think about Optimum Nutrition's Natural Whey protein? Its "mostly" made of isolates so is it a solid protein powder? I'm thinking of checking out the WPI protein you mentioned too though
as i isaid many times before i am not a big optimum fan at all, they make decent products today but i know the way they got to where they are today and i will never sell their products because of that i cant say in writing cause i dont want to get sued... but if you ever want to call me i can explain what i mean 321 727 8871
lots of people dont know what they are saying...shakes are just another way to get protein in your diet instead of having to eat it and also shakes cost way less than food ..they only time protein whether in food or shakes are hard on your organs is if you take in to much at one time that is why you spread it out evenly thru the day..like 30-40 grams every 2-3 hours thanks
I'm 16 and I started working out at the gym 2 weeks ago,4 times a week (Mon,Wed,Fri,Sun). Is it recomendable that i consume protein shakes after workout? Or should I take proteins throughout natural nutrition(meat,milk produtcs) ? Cause some experts claim that protein drinks get you low-quality muscle mass that doesn't stay for long ,unlike proteins from food. pls,help =/
shakes after workout and also carbs for recovery,,taske in 2 carb to 1 protein ratio, like 40 grams protein and 80 carbs after workout ans also in between meals do shakes, if you cant eat every 2-3 hours do a protien shake thanks
Do you guys do sponsorships? To get word out on your products in the sport biz? and one more Q, Im 20 and im curious on the Super Nox, you guys discontinued it, and Im thinking about getting the new one, but would i need a PCT after using it because of the test boosting effect with the new formula thats coming out next month? PS sorry for posting on all your threads hope i don't annoy you. -Ethan
in between meals do shakes, spread them out thru the day for best absorbtion, treat them like a meal, it is a cheaper way to get good protein than eating food, an average shake cost $1 you cant get that kind of protein in food for anywhere near $1..do a shake especially after workouts.. i doa meal , shake,meal,shake,meal,shake,,,until i get in 6-7 meals and shakes in, every 2-3 hours eat or drink a shake. 6 meals at 40 grams of protein is 240 grams a day which is what a guy about 200 lbs needs

do nothing but a pure isolate and do NOT take to much at one time...like the Bioplex Pure WPI or right now we have even a better deal on the Sports ONe Isolate both in out PROTEIN section
I take Met-RX Protein Bars which contains 32G's max but I buy he 31G's should I combine that with a 51G's of cookies and cream Protein Shake? (and Do you recommend I continue to use Met-Rx products?)
Great videos. Keep up the good work. Just wondering what you thought about the NOW brand. Their whey isolate is 89% (25/28g) which is really good, yet it sells for pretty cheap. Any thoughts?
today i got a big thing of met rx whey protein shake u put in like 2 scoops and add milk or water im adding milk because milk has protein and calcium too i hope this is the right choice do u think it will it work?
water is good enough, there is enough protein in the shake itself, also unless you are drinking organic milk the hormoes are doing you more harm in the milk than any good....thank you
good idea, shakes are a better way to get protein over food and it costs much less to drink shakes,,i like Supreme Whey, the BioPlex Pure WPI or our new Sports One Whey Isolate,,,all at the top of our Protein section
lol I don't even have a "channel" Hey..I went to "wallyworld" and I bought a container that said "Eggs" on it but I thought it was "cheese"? lol Yes I must be out of my league going up against someone that thinks something labeled creatine is protein.

@rickmartis1 not kidding , WallyWorld is Wal Mart
I just assumed that it was a protein drink,. What the hell is creatine? I just need to drop some wt and was trying to replicate the medifast.

@backyardcapitalist creatine is for strength, recovery and helps put some size on, it is not for dieting, you need to do a high protein diet and ow carbs and supplement your diet with a good shake like Supreme whey on our site and also for a good weight loss try the Super Ripped tabs. i did a video or two on creatine if you want to see it in it in my channel

Hey Rick should we run a PCT with Super NoX II. Or not necessary since there's no superdrol?

@rickmartis1 thanks for the videos rick. just a quick question, earlier you said that protein over 90% doesn't exist. now that this video is almost 3 years old, what is the new max, 97? I no that ultimate nutritions iso sensation 93 is 93 percent protein per scoop
chrisiztheman1618 1 month ago in playlist More videos from rickmartis1
@chrisiztheman1618 90% is still about the best i have a video coming out tonight if you hit Subscribe. i saw the ultimate one i think they are not being truthful on the label cause when i looked at it it had cholesterol and a whey isolate at 90% or more cannot have cholesterol so something is wrong with them on that product

Super NOX has Superdrol... I don't know if you know this but superdrol is a highly toxic prohormone and the MOST potent it should only be done by experienced people with proper cycle assist and PCt.. putting it in a pre workout is one of the dumbest and most unethical things I've heard of a supplement company doing.
plokman55 4 months ago
@plokman55 again buddy READ THE LABEL Super NOX has not had Superdrol in it in over 2 years and when it did have it in there we did recomend a PCT and guys loved the product and the results like they still do today. we had no complaints that were negative about it, and the new improved Super NOX ll which is what we have out now and for the last 2 years is totally legal and safe and we get rave reviews on it thanks again

I loved your explanation on WHY our bodies need protein every few hours: keeping up nitrogen levels and staying in an anabolic state vs dropping to a catabolic state. There are so many sources out there that tell you what to do without getting into reasoning, but that's what I liked about your explanation.
That said, many sources suggest taking "timed-release" Casein protein before sleeping. Since you don't support this, will a Whey shake before sleep suffice?
kiranb28 5 months ago
@kiranb28 yes a good whey before bed is a much better choice, time release has no advantage it is just hype to sell an inferior protein , your body needs down time to rest and not digest protein all night, you dont get good REM sleep if you are digesting foods, you wont lose muscle mass while you sleep ha ha that is a bunch of crap and just hype to sell a cheap protein

i also went to the local GNC store and i asked him what kind of protein is good for what i do i told him i wanted to lose some weight but at the same time build muscle so he recommended a protein shake named Hardcore series precision Engineered syntha phase.And i was wondering what are your opinions on this type of protein. please give me feedback. Thanks
MrRoyjones95 7 months ago
@MrRoyjones95 we are generally 40% less than GNC, the supreme whey we have is in the mid $40's for 5 lbs and it would be $80 in GNC it is a good low carb, since you are trying to add muscle but lose weight, or a top of the line protein see the Isolate Sports One we have on sale 2 lbs is normally $49.95 we have it for $29.95 plus you buy 1 get one for half so you get 2 for $45. thanks

Great videos.I currently have Cytogainer as my weignt gainer and take a half a serving after a workout and sometimes another half a serving before bed. I am looking for another weight gainer to try out and not sure which one is better.Up your Mass Gainer, True Mass by BSN, Real Mass by Gaspari, Pro Complex Gainer, Iso Mass Xtreme Gainer by Ultimate Nutrion or Lean Body mass60?Is it ok blending in milk after w.o or is it better in water for faster absorption?How about blended in water and banana?
raulgomez902 10 months ago
@raulgomez902 cytogainer is very good and use water, 2 scops 2-3 times a day like you are doing is fine, True mass is the worst any other one is ok, i like making my own with a good whey isolate like the Bioplex Pure WPI we have and i mix it with Cytocarb cause sometimes i want a gainer with the carbs like post workout but in between meals just do the protein with no carbs, plus by doing your own gainer like this you are getting a much higher quality protein by using an isolate thanks
rickmartis1 10 months ago
@rickmartis1 Thanks for the reply. So you recommend in water only not in milk right? I was worried because milk would slow down the absorption after a w.o but is Cytogainer good with milk before bed?I just purchased Cytocarb like you recommended and will sometimes mix with Gold Standard whey which I have to make my own gainer as you said. Ive heard maltodextrins are bad and will research more but for now I will just stick to water if it is better than with milk for faster absorption post wo
raulgomez902 10 months ago
@raulgomez902 water is better cause you are already getting enough protein in the powder and you dont want to take to much protein at one sitting. you will get gas and this is a sign of taking to much at one time or bad absorbtion, plus milk adds alot of cost and hormones you dont need

how much of the powder should you use for Up your mass
snowmen95 10 months ago
@snowmen95 all the gainers usually say like 4 scoops for example but that is to much at one time, it is better to take half a serving 2 times a day than a huge shake all at once, take shakes in between meals and whenever you cant eat ever 3 hours. alternate shakes with meals even till you get 6-8 meals a day shakes included, if you want size you have to consume massive calories but the key is absorbtion and you need to spread it out evenly all day long, so meal, shake, meal, shake all day
rickmartis1 10 months ago
@snowmen95 and a gainer only cost about $2 each at the most and you cant get a high quality meal for $2 so incorporate shakes into your diet as a meal and you actually are not spending more on your food budget, you are saving money and getting the proper nutrition and calories your body needs to GROW
rickmartis1 10 months ago
hello my friend i have a doubt i posted on the body building forum suplement area and they bash me when you divide the grams of protein per serving divided with the serving size scoop youl get the % of protein an example 20 grams divided in to 28 is 74% protein 74% of 20 is 14.5 that is tthe actually amount of protein per serving size scoop its no really 20 or is that the % of pure protein in a serving size scoop?
ELkamikaze29 11 months ago
@ELkamikaze29 diviid the protein per serving by the serving size and that gives you a % of how much of the product is protein the best that you can buy are like a 22 gram serving size that give 20 grams protein this is .90 or in other words 90% it is that simple we have several of those at the best price anywhere and it gets no better than that if you do it with ANY protein on the market
rickmartis1 11 months ago
@rickmartis1 that means that no company can support their label claims and is you got a 80% protein like my nature best perfect whey 22 grams per serving legitimate are like 16 or 17? the guy that works in gaspari exploded when i posted this saying that i was liying and that gaspari and the big conpanies have a process that ensure label claims before and after they leave the factory did you believe that?
ELkamikaze29 11 months ago
@ELkamikaze29 big companies like Gaspari are true on their labels, but like i said do the math and see the % of protein based on the label fact panel, nobody can dispute you on that,,the math is the math and that is the way it is. if a protein has say 50 grams protein per serving but look at what the serving SIZE is, if it is 70 grams then it is a 71% protein...period it is that simple...a gram is a gram and no protein is any more concentrated than another it is just simply what % of it is
rickmartis1 11 months ago
@ELkamikaze29 protein,,get it? some companies fool you thinking their protein is 50 grams it is not more concentrated,,,you just need to take a bigger serving to get 50 grams like maybe 70 grams is the serving
.legit companies dont play the 50 grams of protein game at a 70 gram serving size which is normally 2 scoops, but they will say 20 grams protein in only a 22 grams scoop so you see? 2 scoops of this would give 40 grams protein with only having to take 44 grams of product, it is all a

@ELkamikaze29 sportpharma in the late 90s was huge and they died out after their vanadyl product fizzed out, they used to be one of the biggest companies out there but then again in the 90s there was not many competitors either. it is funny to see how times have changed and companies come and go and who is big now, i never dreamed 22 years ago i would see all these changes but it is all good, i had a great run in this industry and it was fun watching it all play out

@rickmartis1 i agree i remember eas mt-rex muscle tech in the beginin prolab,optimun sports pharma now every kid believe all the hype in magazines adds every one wants to use bsn and muscle tech nothing else i rember seeing ronie coleman using like 6 scoops of syntha 6 after training well a 50% protein i imagine why

@razvy94rmx Firstly, whey protein is not a supplement, it is a food just like chicken. All that matters is that you are eating 1g of protein/lb of bodyweight. Secondly, muscles are made buy eating enough. Weightlifting is a catabolic effect and eating is anabolic, both need to take place to gain muscle. Weightlifting without eating enough protein will just make you smaller and eating without weightlifting will make you fat. Lastly, muscle doesn't turn into fat, they are two separate tissues.

@razvy94rmx My advice is to take a nutrition class and learn about a proper diet before you step foot in a gym because with your limited knowledge you will be wasting your time and money and more importantly even do harm do yourself. I am not trying to insult you in any way but you really need an education before you start worrying about muscles and I wouldn't get it from a salesman at a supplement store.

@FireDepartment619 it looks like i need to do another video, there is way to much confusion out there about protein shakes. they are nothing foreign or unusual to your body, shakes are just another way of getting the protein your body needs to build and sustain muscle. it is just another source of getting protein rather than eating foods that have protein in it. also shakes are a cheaper way to get protein, an average shake only costs $1 and you cant get a good meal for that. thanks

I wanted to ask ur opinion if u think creatine is a good supplement to take in the long run of lets say 5 years
superpetras 1 year ago
@superpetras your body makes creatine from 3 amino acids that you get in foods but in small quantities you normally have it in you anyway taking extra as a supplement just helps with strength and size gains and if you take minimal doses like 5-10 grams a day and take off every 6 weeks for a few weeks you can do this indefinately thanks

Rick...thank you. Extremely informative from part 1 right through to the very end, i posted a question on another previous video of yours, i have assertained (prempted) your answer from the statements and position you put forth in your "all about protein" videos, but if you wanted to review the product i prementioned ii would be very intrested in your personal evaluation of Maximuscle Cyclone.
ddbd 1 year ago
@ddbd i dont know that one but to see if it is any good, assuming it is a company we can trust that they are not lying on the label,,,but do what i say in the video and use the label to calculate the the % of protein and if it is over 80% it is pretty good
thanks
rickmartis1 1 year ago
@ddbd Maximuscle products are very high quality BUT they're extremely over priced. Cyclone is a great product, and if you have the money then I would highly recommend it. But if not, try using PhD Synergy instead. It does the same job but it costs half the price (and tastes better!)

I'm thinking about getting the 5lb Pure WPI which is $60 on your site, but if I wanted to get 10lbs of the WPI, I would being paying $40 more for the same (give or take a gram of protein per serving) size of ON's 10lb bag of whey. I realize these are two different products, so there understandably might not be a 'match or beat any price' to go with this, but I'm wondering if you've ever made adjustments for products that are similar.
Many Thanks
iamthe3rd 1 year ago
@iamthe3rd if they were similiar we would match but there is no comparison ..the pure wpi is 90% protein...you dont take total protein to figure a gram or 2...look at sering size!!! WPI is 20 grams out of a 22 gram serving,,also look at cholesterol on both that is a tipoff if a good and a crap protein Optimum is not good look for yourself at label
rickmartis1 1 year ago
@iamthe3rd take total protein in a serving then look at the top of label where is says serving SIZE so divid the total protein by the serving size...in the Pure WPI case 20 diviided by 22= 90% Optimum is not even close to this also again do you really need a good % of your daily cholesterol in a shake? Optimum is cheap

the product i am taking suggests serving size to be 4 scoops (265g) and it contains 56g of protein per serving. so roughly 66g per scoop
containg 14g of protein. thus, 14 / 66 = 21%. is this correct?
i am looking to bulk and gain weight and this product has 1000 calories, 17g
of sugar, and over 100g of carb . i looked into other protein like isopure and i know it is a good product, but it doesn't contain enough calories and carbs. any recommendations will be greatly appreciated. thanks!
givmeDloot 2 years ago
yes u did the math right,,it is an ok product a little high on the sugar and carbs but still decent. an ideal ratio of protein to carbs is 2 or 3 carbs to 1 protein . i like the the Cytogainer from Cytosport is a good one and about 1.5 grams carbs to 1 gram protein and also only 5 sugar thanks

I am planning on dong a combination of cardio and weight lifting, and will plan out a good diet as well. Carbs and proteins being my priority. So, what can you advice me? I plan to start my training next week, and I know the location of a met-r store somewhat near my home, so should i talk to a sales rep in person, a doctor? ??? Please help! Thank you for your time.

Hey, I'll turn 19 in 3 months, and I am wondering if my body is can take Met-Rx protein supplements. I am 5'8 and weight 180lbs. I have about 10 pounds of extra fat in my abdomen but everything else is lean body mass. I am not used to working out but now I am extremely determined to start working out 3 days wee at the gym in my college. I have poor eating habits and sometimes only eat once a day, and I still continue to gain weight (which I'm happy for). So, is it ok for me to start taking

yes met rx or any good quality of protein is a must..taking shakes is not much different than eating protein in food, in fact shakes are cleaner than food and actually much cheaper so if you incorpoarte shakes into your food budget you get the quality of protein your body needs to grow AND you will be saviong money from not buying as much food, shakes cost like $1 a shake.. where can you get a good quality meal that gives 40 grams of protein for $1 no where thanks

Hey Rick! I am about 200-205 pounds and im trying to get down to about 180-185. I am currently using Whey and I will buy my next batch from you. I want to gain more strength, not really mass (I like the althletic look). I have been thinking about getting some creatine just to add strength...i only do body weight excersises pretty much. I am decently cut with the exception of some belly fat, but I am looking to get more cut up. What fairly priced products do you think would benefit me best?
Reezie78 2 years ago
I am following a pretty good healthy diet in order to loose the belly fat as well.

every few months, we also have alot of good natural hormone boosters, you can take it as far as you want,it depends on your budget but you can easily get protein, creatine, homone booster, NO2 product, pre workout supp, i do that all and more, just depends again how far you want to go with it

Hi Rick, thank you for all the great info :) but I was wondering what you think about Optimum Nutrition's Natural Whey protein? Its "mostly" made of isolates so is it a solid protein powder? I'm thinking of checking out the WPI protein you mentioned too though

as i isaid many times before i am not a big optimum fan at all, they make decent products today but i know the way they got to where they are today and i will never sell their products because of that i cant say in writing cause i dont want to get sued... but if you ever want to call me i can explain what i mean 321 727 8871

Oh I see, gotcha. I'm definitely curious to find out

oh and lots of people say that protein shakes are bad for liver and kidneys...
Drkadzhiya 2 years ago
lots of people dont know what they are saying...shakes are just another way to get protein in your diet instead of having to eat it and also shakes cost way less than food ..they only time protein whether in food or shakes are hard on your organs is if you take in to much at one time that is why you spread it out evenly thru the day..like 30-40 grams every 2-3 hours thanks

I'm 16 and I started working out at the gym 2 weeks ago,4 times a week (Mon,Wed,Fri,Sun). Is it recomendable that i consume protein shakes after workout? Or should I take proteins throughout natural nutrition(meat,milk produtcs) ? Cause some experts claim that protein drinks get you low-quality muscle mass that doesn't stay for long ,unlike proteins from food. pls,help =/
Drkadzhiya 2 years ago
shakes after workout and also carbs for recovery,,taske in 2 carb to 1 protein ratio, like 40 grams protein and 80 carbs after workout ans also in between meals do shakes, if you cant eat every 2-3 hours do a protien shake thanks

in between meals do shakes, spread them out thru the day for best absorbtion, treat them like a meal, it is a cheaper way to get good protein than eating food, an average shake cost $1 you cant get that kind of protein in food for anywhere near $1..do a shake especially after workouts.. i doa meal , shake,meal,shake,meal,shake,,,until i get in 6-7 meals and shakes in, every 2-3 hours eat or drink a shake. 6 meals at 40 grams of protein is 240 grams a day which is what a guy about 200 lbs needs
rickmartis1 2 years ago

Great videos. Keep up the good work. Just wondering what you thought about the NOW brand. Their whey isolate is 89% (25/28g) which is really good, yet it sells for pretty cheap. Any thoughts?

today i got a big thing of met rx whey protein shake u put in like 2 scoops and add milk or water im adding milk because milk has protein and calcium too i hope this is the right choice do u think it will it work?
GodofSkate19 2 years ago
water is good enough, there is enough protein in the shake itself, also unless you are drinking organic milk the hormoes are doing you more harm in the milk than any good....thank you
