Extreme B&R Vs Cyclone

Rocks703

Other than the overpriced cost of Maximuscle products, what the pro's & the con's of Extreme B&R Vs Cyclone?

Thats a bit like Paris Hilton V Muhammed Ali

Paris got all the fancy packaging and marketing and looks nice but what does she actually DO? F**k all.

Stick with the wee black fella - gets the job done no messing about haha!

Other than rascist connotations I like the comparison Zara, I'll try to remember this one when I'm at shows, see guys she's not all smouldering pout and gloss lippy!

Rocks, I've copied the nutritional info from their website, they don't tell you things per 100g (which I think should be law) so direct comparisons arent easy. They don't tell the amino acid profile, sodium or lactose content either.

B & R is designed for after training to create an insulin spike and then sustain it rather than letting blood sugars crash again through the maltodextrins and proteins sustaining the nutrient absorption for a longer period than glucose/dextrose alone.

The 4 protein blend gives you 22 aminos against either 16 or 18 in their whey, they don't tell you this which in my opinion is very important.

You could eat 100g in protein content from tuna only to find out you are actually only getting around half of that in a biologically available form by the time your body chops up the protein to manufacture the missing amino acids. The same thing happens when you use a protein which is missing some of the 22 aminos your body needs to build muscle tissue.

I hope this helps.

Haha! I was trying to think of another boxer that some smart arse wouldnt pop up and claim was overrated lmao!

Thanks for the replys.
It's a good post to show people who have been pulled in by "maximuscle's" advertising, when they could buy a superior product at nearly half the cost.

Hi folks

cyclone is over marketed, over priced and poor in nutritional performance IMO its gotta be Build and recover every time. I used it precomp and was very impressed with its nutritional profile.

Rocks 703 has been kind enough to give me a few scoops of B&R after we train and I think it's great stuff. I'm on extreme protein at the moment and can't fault it. I've been on cyclone for a while before and found all it done was give me a bloated feeling. Long Live Extreme Nutrition !!
