So here's the next installment of my Public Service Announcements about Sports Nutrition. Hope you guys are appreciating these. If any of you have seen a budding trend beginning with shitbirds like MuscleTech, this one is a little frightening because it's seeping into everyone else. By the looks of this, it looks like the people who actually make MuscleTech's products might actually be making Pro Performance now (it would make sense because MuscleTech is obviously a big GNC whore), and thus, Optimum Nutrition might sooner or later succomb.

Their newest POS, Wheybolic EXTREME!



They advertise this crap as a protein/Leucine matrix and it's replacing the Mega Whey Extreme I think (which sold like shit).

Now all of the hilarity is the blabitiflap on the box. The box, you know, with the pretty charts and shit...just like MuscleTech is doing. Apparently Wheybolic Extreme is "clinically tested."

The clinical test they refer to states that in an 8 week study a "matrix" of whey protein and leucine made for greater increase in strength and size combined with weight training. Greater than what? Glad you asked. Greater than PLACEBO. Placebo...think about that for a second. That's kind of like saying eating will be more beneficial than not eating. Strength and size gains from PROTEIN? Whoda thunk? I must tell everyone about this ground-breaking research.

Oh but there's more.

The "matrix" used in this study consisted of 20g of protein versus 6g of leucine. The interesting part is that Wheybolic Extreme is apparently a ratio of 60g of protein versus 7.7g of leucine. So this means two things:

1) They don't know how to do math to the degree that the study they boast for their product doesn't mathematically pertain to their product.

2) They think they're smarter than you. Because they're charging you more for the leucine, and you WILL see results...from the 60g of protein.

And the crowning jewel? The dynamite candles on the birthday cake that's destined to blow up in your faces? This little boast of theirs:

1 Set Instead of 2
Wheybolic Extreme 60's clinically tested, anabolic module has been shown to provide the same performance benefits during resistance training with half the sets.

HA HA HA HA HA!!

That is all.

You are a good man my friend.

Too funny, next thing to hit shelves wheyoids mega-extreme.

[finnegan]

Thanks for looking out for us.
As a side note, a GNC employee was looking out for me on my recent outing. I picked up some Nitro Explosion, and he immediately said "That isn't NO-Explode. No CCE, and the AKG isn't bound to the arginine." I was stunned, and thankful.
Needless to say, I'll be back to that store. That is how you retain customers.

Wheyoids. Awesome stuff BFNM.

These Companies are already tap-dancing the line with that though. Notice how many things are coming out with "drol" and "bol" on their names?

Needless to say, I'll be back to that store. That is how you retain customers.

We have a question we respond with when someone asks us if something we know is bad is good:

"You want the truth, marketing bullshit, or to be told what you WANT to hear?"

Our Franchise owner is cool like that. I got to tell a woman today that Relacore is completely useless. As is their "Relacore PM"...to which they took the original Relacore formula and added fucking lemon essance, nothing more. Last time we saw that shit was in a GNC sleep product and they admitted it was only in there to cover the smell of Valerian.

Funny incident with my boss:

We had a guy come in the other day who asked "hey who is the owner here?" I pointed to my boss (I'm ethnic and the other kid that works there is, too). The guy goes "man you can always tell who the boss is." I couldn't stop my mouth, I immediately blurted out "...oh because he's the white guy?" The dude just stood there for a minute with his mouth open and my boss laughed his ass off.

I went to a GNC last week, and I wanted to know if they carried any Milk Protein Isolate. The associate pointed me at the ON 100% Whey Gold Standard.

Thanks for the lookout KK.

[MikeMartial]

Thanks bro, always appreciate the insider heads up!

[Standard]

Thanks for that KK, your insight into the corporate works of the supplement companies always makes a good point and make me laugh at the same time.

The only thing that pissed me off is the ON comment, damn that would be terrible news if ON started with that muscletech like bullshit. I'm kinda used to that shit from companies i don't support but always found ON to have a quality product.

Would you say that have "natural athleticism? Or are an "explosive athlete" then?

[King Kabuki]

It might be a foregone conclusion, because the company that manufactures ON is the same Company that manufactures PP. But then again, some of these companies are such assholes they shoot themselves in the foot. Like the company that makes Endothil (which I LOVE pointing out to guys that all that shit gives is a "matrix" of green tomato and grapeseed, for $60). They compete with themselves. That cosmetic company that makes Strivectin does this right now. There's a knock-off product out there, but it's made by the same motherfuckers. And they have an ad-campaign about Strivectin's superiority...to their own knock-off. Strivectin of course, being the more expensive of the two.

Would you say that have "natural athleticism? Or are an "explosive athlete" then?

Nah, I'm less PC. The terms "cheap labor" come to mind.
