Best protein shake for bulking

**Amplayo** · 10-30-2012, 04:25 PM

I'm wondering what you guys think the best protein shake is for bulking. Brand ect. Thanks

**mockery** · 10-30-2012, 04:46 PM

mock's bulk in a glass brand

500ml liquid egg whites, 2/3 cups oatmeal, 140g blue berries, 2tbsp Natty peanut butter, 125ml unsweeten almond milk

**digsy1983** · 10-30-2012, 04:55 PM

like mock said, the best ones are the ones you make yourself. no need to spend loads of cash on something that takes you 2 mins to make up. plus you know exactly whats in it. (so you know how it fits into your macros)

id just buy a good quality whey and then mix in oats, fruit, etc.

**Amplayo** · 10-30-2012, 04:58 PM

So just buy a good protein and add in oatmeal oats? About how much and what else should I add. I never even thought about doing that but it sound a lot better

**digsy1983** · 10-30-2012, 05:08 PM

how much and what else depends on your taste and also you diet plan/macros.

ive only added oats to a shake when i havent had time to eat. but for a purpose bulking shake, id check out what amounts of protein, carbs and fats are in the main/popular brands and aim for somewhere in that region.

the first couple may be trail and error until you figure what you like or what goes with what,

GBrice, put 3 of his shakes up in a thread the other day. ill see if i can find it. (one of his shakes was a monster!!!)

see link for shakes.

**mockery** · 10-30-2012, 05:15 PM

why add whey? , u dont need proetin powder to make a shake.

**digsy1983** · 10-30-2012, 05:18 PM

yeah, your right. id just personally use whey over liquid egg whites.

**mockery** · 10-30-2012, 05:23 PM

protein powder is a waste of money

**digsy1983** · 10-30-2012, 05:28 PM

How have you came to that conclusion?

**mockery** · 10-30-2012, 06:27 PM

The fact the many if not all company's are fraudulent in what they add in the product and whats on the label. makes me second guess its use and how usefull it is. On delaods with no shakes i grow more. Its solely my own person opinion and not one i should reflect on others. Its another processed food item and every day i see the importance of everything fresh

**boxa06** · 10-30-2012, 06:30 PM

My morning shake is..

300ml egg whites
150g oats
30 wpc
ice and a littile water

Best way to bulk

You add what you want, none of that artificial sweetner/flavor crap.

**ickythump** · 10-30-2012, 06:33 PM

I agree with eating fresh, but isn't raw egg bad?? If not, I'll just chug my liquid egg whites lol

**mockery** · 10-30-2012, 06:34 PM

liquid egg whites are pasturized so u can drink them raw and they are tasteless

**mockery** · 10-30-2012, 06:35 PM

Isn't TN Doggcraps site?

i hate anything that has to go through customs. canada makes us pay on top of shit we order down south.

**ShredMN** · 10-30-2012, 06:39 PM

Ah yeah, that might not be too great for you then if you have to pay for it to pass customs.
TN is more expensive, but I don't mind it since I can make my whey isolate without all the harmful additives that are in mass produced blends.

**Amplayo** · 10-30-2012, 07:17 PM

Wow I was so clueless about everything. I would consume about 5 protein shakes a day throughout the day. But I am going to give the egg whites a try and mess around and try to make my own. But I do need more help with my diet. Ill put my day up right now

**Amplayo** · 10-30-2012, 07:28 PM

3417 calories (to me) looks way too high. I eat 200 more calories than that at 180lbs. 348g of protein is also way, way, way too much. Add more fat, it increases testosterone .

Look over this guide for a clean bulk:

That really help reading that. Thanks a lot

No worries, it's a really great read. Simplyshredded is one of my favorite fitness sites.

**Amplayo** · 10-30-2012, 09:36 PM

So what do you think my meals should look like?

**ShredMN** · 10-30-2012, 09:38 PM

I should note that their total calories for bulking formula gives a rough estimate for maintenace. Whatever number you got from that, I would add 500-700 more calories, and you'll have yourself a nice calorie estimate for a clean bulk.

**ShredMN** · 10-30-2012, 09:41 PM

I can't really lay out your exact meal plan for you, as I don't know exactly what you like to eat.
Here's Pham Woodbridges interview on here (dude is amazing) which includes his typical training split and diet. You might not need to eat as much as he does, but it gives a good picture on how to go about meal planning.

Nah... This

Just kidding, that's just Zyzz being.... Zyzz. Don't actually eat that shit.

**mockery** · 10-30-2012, 10:32 PM

i miss zyzz

**ShredMN** · 10-30-2012, 10:37 PM

Same. I thought he was a tool from one video I watched on him. But when I heard of his death, I started watching more of his videos and began to like him. Most of the shit he does makes me laugh pretty hard. That video above is a prime example.

**mockery** · 10-30-2012, 10:41 PM

Alot of people think just that, he is a tool. yes he trolled hard, he was a 22 year old kid, what do you expect haha.

RIP brother in iron

**ShredMN** · 10-30-2012, 10:44 PM

His alter ego Zyzz was a tool, but I truly believe that he himself (Aziz) was a genuinely nice person. He said himself, he loved playing up his stereotype, but at the end of the day, he never took himself seriously.
