you guys are takin the tree climber craziness to a new level! Why drink junk when you can get good wholesome food that nourishes the body? how much does all the muscle building, carb loading stuff cost you everyday? and do you bounce out of bed and crank all day or do you still feel tired?

I'm not a pro climber, heck I'm too new to it to even qualify as a newb climber. I train for size and from more of a body building standpoint. I like weighing 240 lbs at 5' 11". I'm sure your product is fine, but it's not what a body builder is looking for. There are different qualities and platforms of protein, and ratios in which protein, carbs and fats should be taken in. I read up on your product, and I think I saw something in there about soy protein. Soy protein isn't typically considered BB friendly. It's not tabboo, but it's not a cornerstone. And excess intake of soy based proteins (the 200+ grams I take in a day) have been shown to raise estrogen levels in men. Not to the level of developing breasts or anything like that, but estrogen is bad when you're trying to gain lean mass. Add to that the emphasis on BCAA's, the different types of proteins needed at different times of day, and relative to workout schedules, and you can see why I take in the macronutrients I do, in the manner in which I do. I could buy Ensure at the grocery store, it's got some protein in it, but I'd rather take Nitro Tech and Meso Tech to get my whey, my glutamine, my BCAA's, and to get it all in a protein that not's hydrolized. I think I read that your product had hydrolized proteins in it. Not bad in and of itself, and fine for day to day protein needs, but not the best for gains in lean mass. /forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif
And yes, I do get out of bed and crank all day. That's because I eat every two to three hours, and eat what my body needs, when my body needs it.
