Where do you buy your supplements, and what sort of, if any, deals do you get (eg: member of a gym deal) ?

Also, on average, what do you spend per visit?

[hal0g0dv2]

popeyes or supplements Canada .com they have to bogo deals

[Stevie P]

Popeye's

[gabi]

popeyes or supplements Canada .com they have to bogo deals

+1 on popeyes richmond as well as supplementscanada.com

also look up svncanada.com and trueprotein.com

I personally only shop from Popeye's Richmond... I use the law/emerg serv/military discount but I belive there is also a discount extended to fitness world mbrs... other than that they are pretty good with the Popeye bucks which is cash back you can use towards credit in store.. seems to be about 3-4%

[gabi]

another thing too I might add about Popeye's -- their prices are reasonable to begin with versus their competitors

[B-DiZzLe]

I never liked popeye's because of the douchebag in the KITS one, I go to Fuel on Boundary and Lougheed, right next Brian Jessel BMW, they have pretty cheap stuff if you know them, I usually deal with Aaron or Ben.


Another thing I usually do is, go to Bodybuilding.com when our dollar is good and ship it to Point Roberts. Group buy with friends and split the shipping costs, they use to have the buy 2 get 1 free deals that made things SUPER CHEAP, but they don't have that right now.

[hal0g0dv2]

^^ ya bb do have good prices

I hear ya about the Kit's Popeyes... the Richmond one is completely different though.

yea man... bring in some sort of ID though so they can tag on the discount to your name in the system... last time I went my friend didn't have his badge so I had to vouch for him

[gabi]

has anyone tried black powder?

MRI black powder, yes. I tried a couple scoops.

It tastes like those chewable flintstones multivitamins I ate as a kid and it was really fizzy.

I personally prefer the Superpump 250 in the raspberry lemonade flavor (even though it makes me take a dump right after I ingest it). I saw the Dymatize Xpand Xtreme the other day -- that looked like it could be fun.

My friend just told me about SvnCanada.com or .ca don't remember, but he said it's free shipping if you buy over $100 and you get 5% off over $100 and 10% off over $200. I'm going to check it out to see if it's any good.


Oh ya they ship out of Maple Ridge so shipping took two days.

what kinda shit they give man?
fuel usually gives a t-shirt/shaker cup(shitty or good one)/protein bar/samples/energy drinks


Usually when I spend over $100 he gives me 2-4 things... i started denying the shitty shaker cups cuz i have 5 or 6 of em and i don't even use it....

yeah same
100 bucks and they throw some stuff in

hmm
so it seems like supplementscanada with coupon code XFS ($10 off $100 + free shipping) is cheaper than SVN Canada for purchases just over $100. Unless someone has a better coupon code or know one for SVN.

I think I'm gonna buy off them next time instead of supplementsmarket. The shipping was freakin slow as hell I hate buying off US sites.

[Gh0stRider]

The last time i went, i bought under $100 and they gave me a big shaker cup, supplement samples, t-shirt, hat, bottle of water

ummm for me I used SVN for my Superpump and Optimum Nutrition whey, free shipping 10% off...

Superpump turned out to be $47 when you buy 2
and the Whey was $52

[azn_boix]

yvs
100-200

[B-DiZzLe]

hmmmm seems like SVN is cheaper for what i bought....
I bought
2 x superpump250
2 x Optimum nutrition whey gold standard
1000g allmax creatine

for $234 tax included

and Supplementscanada
just for 2 x superpump and 2 x optimum whey it's $237 already, I even used promo code XFS


maybe other stuff that aren't priced at two may be cheaper at Supplements Canada

[E=mc²]

^

Well I guess it varies depending on what you buy. If you buy over $200 SVN would be cheaper cuz of the 10% off. I bought just a bit over 100 so $10 off is better than 5% off.
Either way, one should compare themselves

[BlackV62K2]

I goto Reflex and SVN Canada for anything I cant find at the store. I get 10% regardless how much I spend at Reflex and there prices are almost the same as online. I can never find what I want at Popeyes or the flavor I'm looking for is never in stock. Mind you I've only been to the Popeyes on Kingsway.

superpump
u like that shit ?

[B-DiZzLe]

superpump
u like that shit ?



I like it better than Xplode and Expand, I find it works better for me but it does give me the shits sometimes right after I drink it. It honestly varies because some guys at the gym prefer Xplode over Superpump250.



Why don't you like it man?

NO2 and Voodoo
Q: What do you think of those popular NO2 type supplements for muscle building?

A: What do I think of them? Let's see... can we spell B U L L S H I T?

NO stands for Nitric Oxide, a very important molecule that signals the body to do all sorts of important things, one of which is dilate the blood vessels.

Most of these supplements are built around the amino acid L-arginine, which does tend to increase nitric oxide. That's one reason many nutritionally minded MDs will recommend L-arginine for both the heart and for erectile problems (the connection is that both are affected by circulation).

The thinking behind these NO2 supplements is that by increasing nitric oxide you'll improve circulation (probably true), which can help nutrients get to their destination in the body (probably true also).

But the idea that doing so is going to translate to bigger muscles is voodoo science.

Sorry. Save your money.

[BlackV62K2]

Yes Nitric Oxide is garbage if you're expecting it to give you gains just by taking it. But if you want a little extra boost of energy in the gym, it's pretty good for that. Think of it as drinking coffee and some energy drink.

But in general all supplements are useless if you don't put in the time/effort in the gym.

It's true that NO2 will not translate directly into bigger muscles, but I do find that it helps with my workout. I take cycles with it and find that when I'm on the off-cycle I have a hard time finishing my routine near the last 1 or 2 exercises. No this does not make me lift heavier weight necessarily but Yes it helps with endurance/stamina to finish off the last reps and routine.



Have you tried it? If not, you gotta give it a try man.

[Alpine50]

would u guys say popeyes is cheaper than GNC?

[gabi]

would u guys say popeyes is cheaper than GNC?

haven't comp shopped the two in awhile but generally speaking yes

[Gh0stRider]

GNC is a ripoff.

[hal0g0dv2]

GNC is a ripoff.

done even get me started on gnc
anyone who shops there should get there balls blown off
they people there a fuck tards

[Fobman]

so if ur a member of fitness world can u get discounts from popeyes?

[E=mc²]

GNC is a ripoff.

no kidding. I learned my lesson after buying 1 5lb tub from them (I didn't know about popeyes then).

and yes popeyes is definitely cheaper. I went to the one on Kingsway near metro and the dude there price matched SVN canada and gave me 10% off. Not to mention the other freebies you get after spending over $100.

oh the dude that helped me PM was the owner so I can't comment on whether they are always willing to PM or whether that was an exception because I was just about to to walk out of the store when the guy stopped me and told me he'll match and give me 10% off from the online store.
