Ive used the USN Muscle Fuel Anabolic and only thing is you can only have 1 shake per day due to high content of creatine in it they say thats maximum amount per day so still need another protein shake aswell for either morning,pre workout,post workout or bedtime

Im using 90+ protein at moment and dont really enjoy it that much,used to be using Atlas Super Weight Gainer and loved that but split each shake rather than 6 scoops per drink i used 3 scoops,bit chalky otherwise

i use lean whey protien AND muscle mass (protien with high carbs)

as im of the slim build i went for the ripped carved look with minimal body fat when i started the wieghts! cant put on fat which means i cant put on muscle too easy either and this is why i use the carb and protein during the day and use the lean protien for after 6pm (a good 5hours before bed)

im another pharma whey convert. used maximuscle for ages but it costs a fortune!
so far i've had vanilla & chocolate cookie and both have tasted great. Low fat/low carbs to while i'm trying to get the body fat down.

i'll be giving USN muscle fuel a go when i'm bulking again. I've been told as a diabetic i want to stay away from creatine so that rules out the 'anabolic' version.

as a pre work out drink i was using No explode. While i felt it helped it wrecked my guts after a workout!

I use myprotein....... Impact whey protein wpc80, strawberry flavour doesn't make your reach and mixes well even with water. I take 43grams 2 or 3 times a day, post workout.

I get my stuff from here: http://www.sports-nutrition.net/ (site not working at the moment?)

Best for price vs. taste that I've had so far. Otherwise you can get some huge bargains from here: http://www.cybercheckout.co.uk/Nutri...20Supplements/ - they update all the time so you have to wait for the really big savings to come around.

I'll probably get shot down for this but I use the Holland & Barrett stuff. I buy it in bulk when its on their half price offers and the Vanilla tastes nice. After so many years of drinking different shakes I have gone off most flavours now I only drink it cause I have to.

I've been on 90+ for quite a while now, initially it was bloody awful. Tasted shocking and played my guts up, but now I actually quite like it and have no ill effects any more.
