Up n Go, Primo Extremo etc

Got a mate that uses these a cheap alternative to protein shakes. I told him I didnt think they would do any good.
I personally dont use any kind of shakes as I only play reserve grade and I'm not that bothered about being ripped.
Are these kinds of drink a valuable substitution for a proper protein shake. I'd love to prove him wrong

If you drink about thirty of them in one sitting.

That said they will provide a bit off help when it comes to healing the muscles, but they won't really do much in the way of building them.

"Why isn't our low-protein gruel wearing down his resistance like all the others?"

Any shake designed for muscle building needs to have a high concentration of protein. Even at that, I personally don't beleive it's an exact science like the body building industry (the ones selling all the supplements, even to sports stars) say. All of our bodies work differently. Getting a large amount of protein is neccessarry to bulk up your muscles when weight training. There are so many products on the market that have pretty exagerated claims. I would stick to simple Whey Protein.

Check that site out...bulk whey for cheap! They'll f_ckin' ship you a barrel of protein for pennies.

I'm not knocking their site, I've just never seen it sold that cheap in that quantity...worth checking it out.
