Far better than anything you've listed here: e)Crack f)Sex Monkeys smoking crack (Lyle would be proud): http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez....bstract

Those mysterious compounds are just protein subfractions. Putting them on the label makes the stuff sound a lot fancier than just having 'whey isolate' on the label. I've tried two varieties of Nectar (Much as I love Primer it doesn't go well when added to my preworkout Kool-Aid/dextrose...

Thanks for the answer. BTW, I meant the new Driver is much thinner than the old one. I actually kinda liked the old, thick formula. I just noticed that Driver now contains milk isolate in addition to the micellar casein, calcium caseinate, and egg albumin of the original formula. Why this...

I just received a bottle of Driver in the mail after a period of 2-3 months during which it was unavailabe. I'm aware you had problems with your original manufacturer, and that you had to switch to another company. I'm curious, though, why you renamed the product (i.e. "Anabolic" was...

Yep. Page 88. Here's the blurb, by Dave Tuttle:

Hmmm, I was initially more impressed with Driver than Primer, simply because I really can't remember having seen any other casein-containing protein powder that isn't primarily whey. If you use a small hand blender, Driver mixes fine. Even with just a shaker (I use one with a screen), provided...

Just got my copy of the current 'Physical Magazine', which GNC distributes to its Gold Card members. Filled mostly with inane drivel (including a particularly humorous piece on leptin, ghrelin, and PYY-36, which concludes by advising readers to take CLA--not that I think CLA is bad; I use it...

a)Actually, Lyle has suggested that fructose should have a postive effect on leptin due to its stimulation of the hexosamine biosynthethic pathway. He has stated that for for this reason to he tries to ensure that every meal during a refeed contains a bit of fructose. BTW, he also contends that...

Ahh, I actually saw this was looking for studies to prove the usefulness of fructose postworkout. Understandably, I didn't post it. You are quite right, however, that it does throw into question the need for doing so. Fructose does preferentially refill liver glycogen (I wonder if it does so...

He's already doing that. Of course, Gene is right. Since you're using a couple of scoops of HSN Driver, which is predominately casein, and also contains a reasonably decent amount of fiber and a bit of fat(which will slow gastric emptying even further) it shouldn't be a problem. In this...

1--> I was under the impression that it is endurance-type activities in which liver glycogen is significantly depleted. I suppose a high-volume regime would have a similar effect, but I can't imagine 12-16 sets would do so (and that is what I sort of assumed in the above). To be honest, though...

I still don't see how what you've said here is a counter-argument to using fructose postworkout. Whether it's insulinogenic is irrelevant. Yeah, it'd be retarded to use as the sole CHO source postworkout, but it's much more efficient (something like 4x) at restoring liver glycogen than...

Can you give a good reason for why this very moderate amount of fructose (10-20g) would be bad, if not dieting? Lyle gives quite a good reason why it should be included, which I've already explained.

You gotta be freakin' kidding me. Yeah, like the minute amounts of l-tyrosine and acetyl-l-carnitine and whatever other random stuff is in Xenadrine and BetaLean make them any different than eachother or, for that matter, any other EC stack. Pfft.

Haycock quoting a study conducted by John Berardi? Oh, the humanity...
