Bert.
thats a shame bro. ON Gold Standard Vanilla Ice Cream is the best flavor protein I had so far and has a good profile. I only tried Muscle Milk OG, Muscle Milk Stawberry/Banana (got this cuz it was on sale @ GNC), and ON Costco Choco.Gym closed on Friday

have not had ON for over 2 years. if i get samples i give them away.
that being said, ice cubes and skim/almond milk + protein + blender can make most stuff taste ok.
nowadays i pretty much mostly drink protein from xtreme formulations. sometimes some PES select, USP OEProtein, thermolife vasolate or whatever else catches my eye that isn't spiked with aminos to up the protein count. companies are being sued for spiking. i don't drink enough protein shakes for the brand or type or even the spiking to really make a difference though. shakes are just a more macro-friendly treat for me so i don't like protein that doesn't taste really good.

Wanted to go to the Kendrick Farris seminar in Nashville coming up but $200 was just a little steep for me

Damn son getting that cake
A lot of top powerlifters, like Brandon Lilly, offer free seminars. All you have to do is sign up before its full.
Isn't there a vid out there of Kendrick almost getting decapitated after missing a lift?

That ON Vanilla Ice cream is truly one of the most disgusting flavors ever created though.

I've tried a couple of ON flavors over the years and cookies and cream is the worst flavor I've had. That Mocha Cappuccino is the GOAT ON flavor.

but i dont know anything about flavoring, ON is delicious
btw the double chocolate isnt good either, extreme might be decent but i never had it.
im sure with anyone, if you force yourself to take a scoop everday for 2-3 months you can get used to it.
before i really got into lifting i did take ON whey, this was years ago when i was a noob so maybe flavoring was different or something but i did consume it no issue from what i remember

Y'all overrating quest bars. They ight but not worth spending 20 or more on a box.
I'd probably buy some if I could get em for 15 or less for a box
Even then unlike most of you, I inhale those in 2 seconds and got a sweet tooth so will eat 3 bars a day
There's def not a better tasting protein bar on the market..last time I got them GNC sold them $26 a box if I bought 2..great deal IMO if u look how much they cost individually..they are also good for an emergency snack at work or running errands, whatever..I like the chocolate chip cookie dough..need to get more boxes

GODDDAMMMITTTT
My shoulder gave out on me again. Dont think its my rotator cuff, but the front shoulder area (where the shoulder meets the pec I guess) right where the bone is. It hurt the day after my last push day (last Thursday), today I tried to do shoulders in the AM and chest PM. There was pain during shoulder presses, not so much flys and everything else. It really gave out during incline bench in the PM.
Just when im getting back into things...this happens. Ive had this bad shoulder on and off for over a year.

That sounds pretty similar to what I have, tendonitis in the AC joint. Get it checked out by a doctor to see if anything is damaged in there.

You had an MRI and everything?
When this happens I usually just lay off of it for some time. If anything id do shoulder/chest workouts that dont cause pain.

what are you guys taking for your joints?
have stopped taking fishoil for awhile now while it does help a bit with joints. i took it for like 5 years straight but got sick of taking it
wondering whats out there to help especially with wrists and elbows because thats where i get sore at times.

Bioforge and super cissus (usplabs). Thank me later. Broke both knees 2X each and I feel great after taking this stuff

Fish oil is not really a help when it comes to joint pain, glucosamine and chondroitine supplements are better. Fishoild helps improve your blood chemistry and are great against inflammation/muscle soreness.. but it also thins your blood

I had an X-ray done and examined by an orthopaedic doc, was diagnosed with tendonitis, luckily it's nothing too serious but I would have never known unless I had it checked out. I recommend you do the same so you know whether or not it's a severe injury.
Right now you should ice after any shoulder/chest workout and see if that helps.

Im still recovering from a broken foot as well, may need surgery. I think im working out hard and trying to cut at the same time, maybe my body isnt recovering as fast.

wat? bioforge is a test booster.
i vouch for super cissus though. works as a mild anti-inflammatory.

Yea i know fishoil isnt really for joint support, even though supposedly it helps a tiny bit
i dont really wanna rely on glucosamine and chodrotin. i dont have major issues but ever once in awhile the constant working out ends up affecting my elbows and wrists so im trying to minimize any actual damage in the long run.
