I always have a good part of the year where I don't take ANY supps-no protein powder,nothing-I feel its good to give the body a break but for me as a hardgainer eating 2500 cals from whole food would mean I spent my whole day in the kitchen and frankly,I like having a life!!!   |

Hey Randy, what if a big company like VPX said that they wanna sponsor you and that they need you to endorse their products. Then what?? #alol8tc#

Okay. So lets say you live somewhere the pro powder is not available or that you cant afford it on your best week. Then what? Do you still "NEED" it. Will you become less of a bodybuilder? or will you overcome it and just eat that much better. The hardest part is letting go of the shotgun!!!! Uhhhggggg! "Need" is not the point Randy, "effectiveness" is… as Youngblood, Mike and other said, the point is that protein powder are convenient and really work (you'll see tangible benefits if you compare with other supplements)! It's not that you need them… even chicken could be replaceable, but you'll have something for your money when buying it! In addition i would say that it really helps me to get a life when on a pre-contest mode... |

Yeah, I went thru the stage of the countertops full of jars and got over that. Protien, low sugar gainer, multi vite. I never spend more that 60-70 bucks a month on supplements anymore. Also, Walmart has a house brand called 6Star made for them by MuscleTech. 100 AKG tabs for 20 bucks as opposed to 40 of 50 for the same thing with their name on it.
works for me!

All I use are whey protein and creatine which I swear by! I've struggled with the same issues over the years, sometimes I think it was easier when I was young and broke. I couldn't afford them then so it wasn't an issue!
Here's an interesting story of a friend of mine that just competed in his first show. He was going and getting professional help from a very reputable supplement company. They were supposed to get him dialed in for the show. He must have spent a couple of grand on supplements over a few months. I saw him at the show this past weekend and he was still too smooth did'nt appear to even be in single digit bodyfat.
Anyway I swear if he had only ask me to help him I could've gotten him in at least that good've condition and saved him a whole lot of $$$$$!
