they are only about $8 shipped in Taiwan.  :-)  i like the idea behind it and most reviews on amazon are quite positive about it.  adarq: maybe you'll like them if you tried them for a bit longer?!

heh.  a friend on facebook linked that.  you gotta have so much discipline to eat so little junk food though...  that's way too much temptation to have around at the house.

whey isolate then?  hmm, i dunno about all that soy protein & breast cancer relation.  Asians eat a ton of soy products and breast cancer rate is FAR lower than people with typical Western diet.

Nutrition & Supplementation / BCAA?
« on: November 08, 2010, 07:14:41 pm »
i searched for bcaa in this forum and resulted in only 2 posts in 1 thread...  is anyone taking this?  searching for a bit i found a supplier of soy protein isolate in Taiwan that sells 1kg (2.2 lbs) for 480NT or ~$15.50.  seems like a pretty good deal.  :-)  they recommended taking bcaa with protein.  read about bcaa a little bit and seems to be very good for increasing aerobic and anaerobic capacities.  500g cost $40.  hmm!

I'm still in Taiwan so proteins are pretty expensive here once imported...  anywhere from 30-50% over the cost in USA.  I've looked around in Taiwan a bit and the best deal appears to be Muscle Juice 2600 by Ultimate Nutrition.  It costs NT1800 or $58 for the 11.1 lbs package.  Any opinions of this protein?  In a recent thread in this forum the 2544 is discussed and I guess this is the slightly better version with less fat.  ~250g serving gives ~55g of protein.  I guess this is more like a high calorie mass gainer and not a lean gainer?  All lean gainers proteins are $$$ here.  But if I use it as a meal substitute maybe it'll work okay?

I'm probably going to get it since it is the best option as far as price is concerned...  on Amazon a good seller seems to be the BSN True Mass and I like how that has extra vitamins but the BSN are expensive here.  Or...  my brother is coming to visit shortly but I dunno if it's wise to ask him to carry 25 lbs of protein in the luggage... heheh.  They customs will probably open it and taste it to make sure it isn't cocaine.  :-)

check his reply, very nice.. i've been doing something similar, it's working great for me. Now that I actually care about physique, I should see some ridiculous gains under my current diet.

meaning what?  you've been eating a lot of whole eggs?

did you try to find a TCM practitioner like i suggested?  you also didn't specify how you injured your ankle in the first place.  which direction did you roll it, and was it after jumping or just a mis-step?

TCM is one of the best way.  there a many foreign basketball players in Taiwan whom I've introduced them to TCM treatment after they sprain their ankle and they all universally praise the significantly reduced recovery time.  the last thing you want to do is put it in a cast.  that's going to do nothing for your recovery except extending the length of time greatly.

and no fancy/silly accessories like the 5 yo.  and Damon looks like he has great attitude.  plus he said athletic OR academic scholarship.  if he grows to a nice frame he should do well.
