Syntha-6 Extended Release Protein Blend

[lsuguy1]

is this a mix of whey and casein proteins? how does it compare to straight whey?

[getaway]

bud, dont expect many people here to know what syntha 6 is, let alone use it. People here are old fashioned, But i can tell you don't go for BSN, way too overprice ON WHEY is the WHEY to go.

Whoa, man - that a pretty scathing remark.

Not so much old fashioned - we just call BS when we see it, is all.

lsuguy - its a mix of different types of whey, casein, and egg proteins. Nothing new and revolutionary. The product just has hyper-marketing.

getaway, I can't get your comment out of my head (wow, talk about obsessive compulsive behavior, lol). Why? Its simple: This site is not beholden to any sponsor. If you look around the web, or at the magazines on the newsstand, you will see these sites and magazines all owe their existence to a product, products, or sponsors. T-nation, bodybuilding.com, Flex, Ironman, etc, are all pushing products. All of their "research" focuses on what will be the "next big thing". Many of them also owe their results to the use of banned substances - but that aspect of their "success" isn't mentioned because it would completely harpoon their message. It is conveniently forgotten, and the reader is therefore misled to incorrect conclusions.

What is the next big thing? Whatever lines their pockets for the next fiscal quarter. Is that bad? Who knows, but people have to realize they are after one thing: Your money. They really don't care if what they tout actually works or not. They have bills to pay and the only way they can do that is if they can convince you to part with your cash - today, tomorrow, and the next day. That is why there is always THE NEXT BIG THING. If there wasn't, they wouldn't exist.

This site is unique in the fact that it is made up of members who are here to help each other to find what works and what doesn't to reach their goals. That is what makes this a great community. Bodybuilding, general fitness, fat loss, strongman or powerlifting: All of these subjects are important to the people who read this board. And we are very fortunate that the owners have NOT sold us out to one particular product, idea, or personality. This allows all of us as members to be completely honest and forthright with each other.

In this day and age that is a very precious gift, and I for one am grateful to the owners of the board for that.

Because of this we are not "slick". We don't have the high priced image many other boards project. Our threads and newsletters are created by all of us - the general membership - so we can give each other the benefits of our experiences without having to worry if there is an agenda or product that needs to be sold.

Old fashioned? In the context used it makes us sound "out of date". I don't see anyone on this board as being out of date. There are many members on this board that have 10+ years in their quest for physical improvement. Honest & Experienced would be much better terms to describe the members on this board.

Ooops, end of rant.

Sorry about making you seem old Iron Man, go skydiving to get my remark out of your head lol. As for BSN, they mix way too many ingredients into one product underdosing it.

[westside24]

LOL to go skydiving! ah sh!! thats hilarious......that was a well spoken opposition to being old fashioned as well ironman! I agree with what you said....... not really in regaurds to getaway, i think he was just joking, but I feel this is the best website to go to for 411. its pretty popular from what I know. and back to getaway and isu...... I agree with ON STANDARD WHEY. its the best bang for the buck as anyone would put it...Ive heard alot of bad about BSN as well. well just not the results that particular people were looking for.

That is NOT the reason I went skydiving!! But I didn't have weird remarks to remove either. LOL

Stick with the basics. Fancy supplements will not make you into more of a man than you are now.

Back to the topic, I like Syntha-6. And I like all BSN products whether or not they are over-hyped (it doesn't mean they aren't good). I by them from the PX here on post so they don't get the GNC markup or tax for that matter.

I wouldn't use it for every protein shake. I use it for my post workout shake and use regular whey for the others.

Others??? what others would you use it for besides preworkout... and maybe occasionally before bed to minimize carb intake before bed.

Id say that any protien supplment, should be just that, a supplement, and best utilized before and after workouts. including crap BSN

[Dins_PR]

I workout twice a day, mandatory PT and then my personal workout, so that's two protein shakes I like to take, then if I take one before bed that's a third.

[westside24]

whats mandatory PT? pardon my illiteracy.

[Dins_PR]

physical training. we have organized PT every morning before work. That's the army for you.

Oh haha.. A little common sense on my part couldve figured it out..
Do you feel its the army's training that has got you the results you can apparently see, or is it your own training that has done so? or do you get much free time to train?
