Weekly Weigh-in 3

October 13, 2009

My visit today was very brief; I’m down to 231.2 and my body fat was a little higher than last week.

My stats on 10/13/09:

  • weight: 231.2 lbs (-4.0 / -9.5)
  • Body fat: 47.6 (-0.2/ -1.8)
  • waist: 46″
  • hips: 55″

I bought a 3lb canister of the American Whey protein supplement (retail $29) from the doctor’s office; it states it carries 20g of protein per serving, which is less than the 26g the Six Star Muscle I bought at Walmart; you also have to mix the American Whey with 8oz of water, not just the 4oz the store brand required, so I’m drinking more and getting less protein. Go figure. The stats:

american_whey_3_lgHigh Quality, Predigested Protein. Bio-available Great Natural Source of High Potency Essential Amino Acids, including BCAA’s. The muscles in your body are over 80% protein in dry weight if your goal is an increase of muscle then do it with American Whey. The ion-exchanged whey protein in this product is the most bio-available for your body. This means your body can utilize the supplementation of American Whey better than other types of protein. American Whey is also low in calories, tastes great, and mixes easily in juice, milk, or water.

american_muscleSix Star Professional Strength Whey Protein is a clinically proven anabolic protein formula that’s scientifically engineered to force massive muscle growth from your very first serving. The Professional Strength Whey Protein formula is built on a foundation of regular whey protein – the most bioavailable form of protein in the world. But it doesn’t stop there. Professional Strength Whey Protein is much more than regular whey protein.

As powerful as it is, regular whey protein has limitations. Using the latest advancements in protein supplement science, Professional Strength Whey Protein overcomes the limiting factors of regular protein supplements. The trouble with regular whey protein is that it may not be absorbed by your muscles as efficiently when it is needed most. The fact is bodybuilders don’t have time to wait for amino acids if they are going to get huge. Professional Strength Whey Protein is packed with clinically proven musclebuilding accelerators to quickly spike your blood amino acid levels and shuttle protein into your muscles. Each maximum dose serving contains a whopping 50 grams of protein. The result of this accelerated amino acid transport and uptake is rapid gains in muscle size and strength. The Six Star Professional Strength Whey Protein key ingredients are proven in university, gold-standard human clinical studies to be superior to regular whey protein for building muscle and increasing strength. The proof is in the science – Professional Strength Whey Protein is the muscle building solution bodybuilders need for fast, extreme results.

    *Just a note – the American Whey product has a smoother consistency and a much better taste than the Six Star Muscle product in my opinion … but not enough to justify the increased cost and fewer protein grams!
