    Default monster amino

    has anyone tried this?? they're on sale right now at my local gnc for 13 bucks. the lady says the product is now discontinued. so far chain'd out is the best bcaa i've tried, but 13 bucks is tempting. still don't want to waste 13 bucks and end up having to throw away the tub and buy chain'd out anyway.

    Fuck it, for $13 you get like 30 servings of 5g BCAAs that dont actually taste bad. I'd go for it.

    Not sure about drinking it between meals...IIRC it kinda made me feel bloated. I only drank it mixed with my pre-workout though so it could be from the two mixed together. I think I still have a jug of it somewhere, I'll check the sugar too.

    ok, the fact that you still have a tub lying around somewhere tells me that it's not that good. lol

    TnT..........ahhhhh those were the days, back when I was young and wild. Like....a few months ago


    Chain'd Out never makes me feel bloated in between meals it just controls my appettite. I do remember the bloaty feeling when I used to use Amino Vital, Amino Shooter, etc. I think its because, like Author said, most amino products dont have the right ratios. I dont wanna put words in the mans mouth so id read his QnA first. Or ask him. But since I started using CO exclusively about a month and a half ago, i havent had any whey shakes and Ive not only kept my size and strength, my abs are sharper. Just look at my facebook profile. And remember, I train for strength, power, and function, not for looks.
