I"m old school and just eat a lot of eggs... I can't stand the taste of the new stuff or the cancer warnings... I miss the big 5 gal buckets of good egg protein... It was cheap, I didn't gag trying to drink it, and it worked...
Whatever yall do, DO NOT cheap out and get the 49.99 Nutrex 5lb from Muscle&Strength. See my reply a couple posts down below
Well....most of the cattle butchers burned down mysterious style. Same with chickens. Then some funky worm from south America killing more....
I’ve personally found Legion to be very reasonable and very high quality. Grass fed and standard options with a great selection of flavors. Cinnamon cereal is my favorite, it tastes like Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
They have frequent bogo 50% or bogo 75%. And a point reward system. Their snacks are pretty good too. I found the protein bars to be a bit hard but they taste really good.
on muscleandstrength.com they have 5lb for 49.99 atm brand of protein is nutrex. if anyone trying to pick up some cheap protein
ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NOT!! I fell for this and bought a 5 pounder of Nutrex cookies and cream. When I opened the tub it had a very chemical smell, indescribable, but not right at all. But me being me, I mixed some up with some milk and it tasted exactly how it smelled. Luckily the M&S return process is easy and no questions asked. After some searching found a few others describing the same foul taste and odor. Product was not expired, and was sealed well when I got it. With the help of Claude, it is presumed that somewhere in the production process some type of oxidation had occurred. I wrote directly to Nutrex and of course got no reply.
I buy my protein powder in canada 10lbs at a time and its about 120 bucks, from revolution nutrition. Last time I ordered they accidently send me 20lbs! I emailed them and they said no worries keep it. Score.
But now I have 20 god damn pounds of vanilla >
Is Revolution actually good? I keep getting their damn ads on Instagram, but im always leery of cheap protein.
It tastes fine, doesnt give me any bloating or gas or anything
I've consumed atleast 20 pounds of it in the last couple years without issue.
Is it as good as the fancy stuff? No.
Is the fancy stuff a waste of money? Yes.
Agree with that last part for sure. I just need a quality product that helps me hit my protein target. All these crazy flavors, especially the ones with candy and sprinkles and shit, they can keep that
Ill give it a shot, thanks
I think this is the perfect place to compare and complain about protein prices. A steroid source forum where you have sources in other countries who might not think about things like this. And now it's right here for them to see. So when the prices of test go up in the next however long. Nobody complain.
Are you serious?
Did i type that in a way that it would be taken as a joke?
Or sarcasm? Of course I'm serious. Though i know I'm just wasting my time typing that which is why i usually don't bother. Sources could use this forum and really get a feel of the vibes from the domestic US average joe community by the things that are posted right here. Most of it is just parroted information from social media, Google, and maybe some other forums where there's a different level of I'll say awareness and knowledge.
Though there's some dudes in here that know allot like chemist knowledge I'll leave it at thar. They usually don't post much though cuz is irritating to some the ignorance that can be seen sometimes. I know this will probably but hurt allot of people i hope not cuz in really just trying to point things out from a diff angle. Though at the same time people have come to feel at home on this forum and comradery so there's also a attitude of why do we have to watch what we say on our forum. I get that too.
Ahhhh fuck it.. I'm gonna post this anyway but i really could give a fuck less either way. God bless America

Same idea different words.
Well said bro.
Cool.
For show
I hate it when mom and dad fight
My mom actually just passed away last April from glioblastoma.. found out in October 2023, i told you all about it. That's when she had the first of 3 brain surgeries during that time removing tumors. fucking fucked up to watch her fade over a year man. Honestly still feels like it ain't real. It feels like it was last month can't believe it's been over a year. That's the reason i stopped coming on.
My dad was there with her the whole time and didn't leave the hospital or hospice. He goes to the cemetery every day after work still. He put a wine bottle in the ground upside down with the top off and sits there drinking so it's they're drinking together.
Sorry for your loss bro
Ty... I've never said anything i didn't wanna be like a very baby bitch u know.
Mourning your mother’s passing is normal. Anyone that thinks less of you for that is inhuman. There ain’t a damn person in here that thinks you’re a baby back bitch for that.
It’s really hard to see your mom go through that. I can only imagine how your dad’s loyalty to your mom made you feel as a son.
You or indeed anyone else should NEVER feel uncomfortable about discussing things like this in the forums mate. Nothing good comes from bottling things up inside and not talking to others about things that are bothering or upsetting you
Nah bro, we may be a bunch of adult children here, and a few gay guys, but we’re not assholes. Losing loved ones especially a parent is traumatic.
Doesn’t make you anything near a baby bitch. Makes you human.
Exactly this
I’m sorry your mom passed. That’s rough.
Either my estrogen is high or the fact that your dad never left her side in the hospital or hospice and buried an open wine bottle upside down and he visits her every day and has some wine with her is the most touching display of loyalty and devotion I’ve ever heard of.
That’s one hell of a role model and I aspire to have that level of character one day also. Sad and beautiful at the same time.
Yeah bro i know. Ty. Even the hospital workers said they're never seen someone so devoted and told him she was lucky to have him which caused him to cry even more of course.
They Def were definition of ride or die which after typing that realize that had taken in a while he meaning. They would've done anything for one another no matter what. My father is also the type of person that he would do anything for his family or people close to him like give you the shirt of his back or do anything to protect.
I told my wife this is the man I’m going to be if she passes first. But I’m not burying an open wine bottle upside down for her tho…I’m burying the biggest syringe I can find loaded as full as possible with Primo open and upside down and I’ll be doing all my doses at her grave.
She doesn’t drink but she loves Primo. I might put a ghost energy drink next to it…
Sorry to hear that man. Might just be me, but I'm not sure that shit ever feels real. Hope you and your Dad the best.
Ty for that bro. I'm not sure myself either.
Damn man. My heart aches. I’m sorry.
Yeah... thanks bro.
Fuck man that's terrible. Had to have been gut wrenching to go thru. My condolences. Hang in there man.
Yeah rough. Crazy is over a year you know and I'm telling it like it Happen last month. Thank you bro
PTSD here
I really do have that. And some other shit.
Other shit.= hemorrhoids
Had a colonoscopy yesterday…
Yea I remember.
5 polyps cut out. Doc sad they didn’t look suspicious, but they’re out for testing.
Oh damn. I didn't realize you might have some shit going on for real.
Hoping for you man. Hopefully nothing.
Hang in there.
Thanks bro. Just something the doc suggested after turning 50, turns out there were some unwelcome visitors lol. He said nothing looked cancerous, just regular polyps. Regardless, they’re all gone now lol. Gonna have to get one every 3 years now though
If we live close enough we can bump that up to weekly.
Mid Atlantic US, I’m down if you are lol
The Heartland :(
The only place I feel at home!
