**Steve80** · 06-08-2006, 12:32 PM

I compared facts and they seem pretty close atleast i think. Are they really that similar, if so mine as well hit up Micky D's. I want to get muscle juice but if no better than a fast food shake prolly not worth it. Let me know if there is something i dont understand why they are diff if they are. Heres the info

I don't think its even a question....55gr protein in muscle juice vs. 16 gr. for mcd's. Sugars 60 vs 100 gr in mcd's.

The thing is that is actually 2 shakes for muscle juice, you cant get 4 scoops in one shake, so muscle juice serving would actually be half those stats.

See the thing is I am tryin to put on a bunch of weight quick. I havent been able to eat for over a week because my wisdom teeth swelled up so i lost like 12 pounds. I wanna put it back on fast whether there is some fat gain also or not.

Sidenote- who eats tubs of ice cream jello, pudding, double cheeseburgers because theyre mushy and losses weight, its nuts.

putting weight on quick.. will mean u putting on fat..
if u wanna be calld chubs than go for it.. but eating shitty is not going to increase the lbm gains u acquire sa compared to less cal's of higher quality.

u need to read pinnacle sticky in the AAS section apparently

**SuperBeast86** · 06-08-2006, 04:34 PM

I was big in high school played football. When I got out of school I did nothing for 7 years and got downright scrawny. I had a pot belly and the tops of my arms were like the size of my wrists now after like 9 months of lifting. I am 6'1 and my weight fluctuated between 150-172 with less muscle tone then a canned ham. I dont want to be like that anymore. I started workin out, I gained alot of weight while reducing the gut oddly. I got up to 195. Then I hurt my shoulder so I had to take time off lifting, but kept on my bulking diet. Then my wisdom teeth swelled up so I havent been able to chew and lost like 12 pounds in less than 2 weeks. I made a commitment to getting big and I feel I see that fading away. I need to get my weight back up. Im not too worried if I gain some fat because as you can tell I can loose two pounds by sneezing. I just dont want to be scrawny lookin.

i got my nose broke back in january and couldnt eat for a couple weeks, my whole face hurt when i tried to bite down the slightest bit on anything. plus in a bad mood about being kicked in the face and having my wallet stolen. anyway before that happened i was bigger than i had ever been...without juice. now im back and a little biggert than that but it took a good 3-4 months, i dont thinkputting on "weight" will help too much. yeah us skinny guys have more freedom in what we eat but still gotta be a little smart about it and i dont think making a mcdonalds shake part of your regimine is the way...unless its a cheat meal or cheat day or whatever.

**Steve80** · 06-08-2006, 08:14 PM

Well i guess i will go with the muscle juice as my PWO Shake it does have ALOT less cholesterol, which i need to be low.

**mwolffey** · 06-08-2006, 08:24 PM

well im sure you dont wanna be fat either....train hard and eat GOOD......be patient, rome was not built in one day

**spittin' 'n cussin'** · 06-08-2006, 08:39 PM

you didnt mention it being a pwo shake dude. i would say definitely not use that as pwo. you would be better off with a plain whey shake and then eating something like an hour later. if thats a weight gainer shake do not take it pwo, eat it like before bed or sometime during the day

Consuming that many carbs before bed kinda pointless and will store a lot as fat. Consume those calories earlier in the day. No fat PWO.

Not sure if this thread is a joke or not. You serious about going to McD's for your post workout shake?!

**WelshWarrior** · 07-29-2006, 06:19 PM

My bad - just bumped an old post.

It's late and I got carried away. Off to bed in shame now!

You cant be serious...
They are no where near close at all. The muscle juice is a MUCH better option, I have used it quite some time ago and you can easily make a shake with 4 scoops. And the logic of saying that a real Muscle Juice shake is only half that...well fine even if you cant fit 4 ok but it doesnt change the percentages, just the amount. You are still getting a horrible percentage of protein in a McDonalds shake and a higher percentage of fats and sugars.

Not even a comparison. I wouldnt have a McDonalds shake if someone paid me, sure you wanna put on weight but its just gonna be fat. Whats the point in that?
