Hi folks, just wondered if any of you out there have ever used myprotein.com for supplements, and if so, what products you have used. they appear great on price, and have a price match guarantee. Im thinking of buying some total protein. Any info greatly appreciated .

I buy Impact Whey Protein and various stuff for energy drinks (maltodextrin, fructose, etc.). Prices seem to have gone up quite a bit in the past year and postage isn't cheap so best to buy a lot at once.

Yea a friend from work said about the prices, but generally protein prices have increased across the board. Im getting a 5k tub, so no P&P thankfully. how do you find the impact whey protein, any good, what training do you use it for ?

I thought Myprotein always charged for postage. I've never had it free anyway....

I generally use the protein powder after races or especially hard training rides when I'm needing to recover quickly (along with some carbs in the form of Soreen usually). I find it helps stave off the hunger pangs as well, which is useful when I'm trying to lose a pound or two.

The fat and inconvenience for starters. A protein drink will help with rehydration and carb replenishment if mixed with carbs and electrolytes and cosumed shortly after hard training. Other foods can, of course, be used but may not be so cost effective, convenient or effective. Having said that, I find a milk, rather than powder, based drink effective and very convenient.

I buy their whey, BCAA's, multi vits, powdered oats and a few other bits. I have used them for quite a few years now.

A little tip for you all. They have a price match on the website, if you order their whey, type in protein247, and it knock's something like £5 off every 2.5 kilos. Which is great as I buy 10KG at a time.

Now why didn't I think of a lump of cheese or a steak immediately after a workout each day? Doh.

Real food is great, but protein powder is an effective way of getting some protein down straight after a hard race/ride - current thinking is that you should consume protein + carbs within 2 hours of finishing, but the sooner the better so a protein drink is pretty effective (and its cheap - cheaper than a steak).

I am not talking about wolfing a steak down a few mins after a ride (atlhough cycling does not shake my body up so I can eat a big healthy meal soon after). I managed an Ironman by eating healthy filling foods in a balanced mix at sensible intervals

What does 'managed' mean? Unless you are working hard enough to 'shake your body up', as you put it, supplements shouldn't be necessary. However, if you are doing difficult/demanding workouts on a very regular basis they can be helpful to some. Any supplement should be carefully evaluated before use; otherwise they could be a waste of cash that could be spent on nice new gear :becool:
