Optimum Nutrition - Serious Mass 2.72kg / Banana

At first I wasn't sure, having such large amounts of calories and protein with a cocktail of creatine and other stuff to make you big. But after my first shake my god, it was like I became some higher power all of this energy flowed through me and instantly made me scream and bang my chest with my fists. I then stomped over to the nearest gym I could find, walked in, looked at the CrossFit frame and proceeded to pick it up and throw it across the gym which took out the weak doing cardio. I then let out another Tarzan like scream banging my chest ripped my shirt off to reveal my now huge superhuman muscles. I walked out the gym giving a grunting nod to all the kings doing free weights. Free weights wasn't heavy enough for me. I went out to the car park and stood ... MoreAt first I wasn't sure, having such large amounts of calories and protein with a cocktail of creatine and other stuff to make you big.

I walked out the gym giving a grunting nod to all the kings doing free weights. Free weights wasn't heavy enough for me. I went out to the car park and stood there and my eyes locked onto a fiat 500 parked. I stomped on over picked up the car and crushed it into a ball with my bare hands and kicked it like a football into orbit. I then let out another howl and proceeded to have a 4 hour long rampage, destroying the entire city I lived in. The next day I woke up refreshed but back to my normal self. In all seriousness this is a great protein powder and I've had some amazing gains

Dont often leave reviews, but for this one I think its worth it, there's a few things you need to understand before buying this, for starters we all have different goals and methods of getting there, generally we're looking to gain weight and muscle if we're using this stuff, and it can definitely help there, there's a few things that one has to be mindful of though, as overusing/abusing anything can have negative effects, and thats pretty much what I did, I feel like it should come with a disclaimer or warnings, but then it's not like it's been through a controlled study held to scientific standards so thats probably why it doesn't. The first thing everyone should understand is you need 0.6-0.8g of protein per pound of bodyweight in your diet to gain muscle, and ... MoreDont often leave reviews, but for this one I think its worth it, there's a few things you need to understand before buying this, for starters we all have different goals and methods of getting there, generally we're looking to gain weight and muscle if we're using this stuff, and it can definitely help there, there's a few things that one has to be mindful of though, as overusing/abusing anything can have negative effects, and thats pretty much what I did, I feel like it should come with a disclaimer or warnings, but then it's not like it's been through a controlled study held to scientific standards so thats probably why it doesn't. The first thing everyone should understand is you need 0.6-0.8g of protein per pound of bodyweight in your diet to gain muscle, and you need to eat at a calorie surplus to gain muscle and weight, great, this shake can help with that, however you should be tracking calories and protein, and this shake should only be used for the odd time you have to catchup or make up the difference of what you didn't get from food. I know thats not what anyone wants to hear, they want a simple quick fix, like anything in life shortcuts either aren't really shortcuts or they come at a price, and that's what has happened with me. So I had been using this everyday, for maybe 2 and a half years, at some point I developed the more severe form of acne, ive always had spots here and there throughout my life, but the more severe form is a different ballgame, I have cystic and nodular acne, can be pretty painful, often cant be burst, even when they are they just come back exact same location, often they last weeks or months and by the time some cleared up for me, there would be new ones, mostly on my face, back and shoulders, can't tell you how badly this has impacted my mental health, imagine being a skinny ectomorph your whole life and you finally put on some muscle and weight, start to look decent, get compliments often and then you end up with big red lumps all over you, a big part of me trying to gain muscle was for my confidence and self esteem, so this has been a big blow to my confidence to say the least. I stopped taking this shake several months ago for a few reasons, dairy especially casein in cows dairy is very inflammatory, even shown in studies to swell the prostate, the high carb content, the high sugar (very inflammatory), and the maltodextrin (spikes insulin very fast). Now I do and did have some dietary issues, ive never really tolerated cows dairy very well, if you suffer from bloating, sinus infections, migraines, you might want to look at how much dairy you consume and consider cutting down or cutting it out, even as a 1 month trial, I get nobody wants to quit dairy, took me a while to accept facts, but I digress. So, my experience with this shake has been a net negative, what appears to have happened is ive become quite insulin resistant, I believe that overusing this shake for a long period of time spiked my insulin so frequently for so long at a time that now insulin resistance is kicking in too often, this is the cause of many illnesses, including polycystic ovarian syndrome, cystic acne and more. Insulin is pretty anabolic, as in spurs muscle growth, this is great so long as you dont hit resistance, its essentially the 'spillage' that does the harm, combine this with the IGF-1 in dairy (Insulin Growth Factor, its meant for baby animals to rapidly grow big and strong, its also similar enough to insulin that it works for us the same as insulin) and you have a recipe for some bad maybe irreversible health problems. Many people will concede that sugar, and dairy alone can cause or exacerbate acne, in this cocktail its basically acne food. Ive done a fair bit of research on acne for a while now, had about zero knowledge before on it, and now ive completely eliminated the shake from my diet, also going dairy free right now and doing a low carb no sugar diet in an attempt to get this all under control, already have scars on my face and shoulders from lumps that just sat there inflammed for months, fyi the reason they mostly appear on shoulders back and face os because this is where the majority of our androgen receptors are, androgens being hormones aka DHT, testosterone, estrogen etc, insulin resistance will create excess androgens, spurring the body on to keep making new tissue and hence the hard inflammed lumps, DHT tells the sebaceous glands to just keep on producing to, so this really is all a perfect storm when the conditions are right. In summary ive ended up in a pretty difficult position, my weight isnt much different from when I started tbh though I have gained muscle, but now struggle to hit calories targets with the kind of things I need to avoid now, most veg, most fruit, cant seem to even tolerate goats milk which I used, its a different less inflammatory form of casien in goats milk btw. Hoping if I can give my body some time to recover now, I can get rid of this acn...
