Anyone tried "Surge" or "Grow!"

Hey guys I've been surfing around a particular website which promotes the products Surge (as a post-workout drink) and Grow! as an MRP. I've done a search on this site and haven't found anything...

Have any of you used this stuff, or heard anything about it? Is it just the same as every other MRP/post workout drink out there, or are they actually decent products?

The MRP is 24 bucks (??? lbs, I think 2) and the post workout drink is 21 bucks (2 lb), which is pretty nice if you ask me. Better than shelling out 90 bucks for Myoplex, IMO. Well...someone wanna let me know? Thanks

What are the stats for the MRP?

CrazyRussi · 31-Aug-04, 12:01 AM

For the life of me I can't find it, even on the website...I'll post it when I do.

Anyways, I think this is allowed as I'm not promoting the site or anything, but the site that promotes these products is t-mag. This is a very commonly read site, and is referenced to a lot on this forum. I just wanted to know if these products are legit or a heap of bologna like Cell-Tech.

I was confused with the low calories...isn't this a Whey Protein shake? But they say "...best whey isolate, casein, and milk-protein isolate ..." Maybe the serving size is two scoops?

Sorry for the 3 posts, but I didn't want to write a college mid-term paper in one post. As I look back at it, whey protein with some sugary substance such as chocolate milk or fruit is MUCH cheaper than the post-workout shake. The MRP is looking decent, but low carb/calorie.

The Grow! is Biotests whey powder, not a MRP. And you can make a Surge type drink from component parts much cheaper than what they charge for it.

On the Grow!, it says MRP in huge letters on the front. But when I read the description it says "Whey meal replacement". Whatever...basically, stick to ON Whey and you should be fine. Gotcha

Crazy......I am a big fan of both GROW and Surge. GROW is indeed a MRP and with the quality blend you get for the price you cannot go wrong. It tastes great and comes with a money back guarantee...why not give it a try?

abarlament · 01-Sep-04, 01:46 PM

Well, shoot I guess every whey powder bucket is a MRP then.

**MostMuscle** · 02-Sep-04, 11:13 AM

Abarlament, I am looking at a buket of GROW right now and nowhere on the on the label can I find "whey protein drink", in fact MRP is in big letters on the front and from the nutritional label the blend is clearly stated.

Its not just a bucket of whey.

whey mrps are useless...they only keep your muscles in an anabolic state for 90 minutes, then go to catabolic

surge is amazing, and if you tried to put all those ingredients together yourself the taste would be too horrendous for anyone to stomach. they have the perfect formula.
