Hey y'all!
MOFO crazy blogger in the house and today I'm going to review a supplement that has worked very well for me and most -if not all- the clients I train. The Carnivor beef protein isolate from Musclemeds.
It is simply the most effective product of its kind that I've tried, period!
It works wonders in terms of muscle building and muscle hardening and that is an expected effect because it contains a shitload of creatine due to the beef protein source.
Carnivor is made from Pharmaceutical grade beef protein isolate and it is 350% more concentrated than stake in muscle building amino acids.
The advantage that is like a dream to me is that Carnivor contains all the benefits of a sirloin stake with zero fat, zero cholesterol and most of all zero lactose (Whey protein) and that for me is enough to turn me in to a fanatic.
I have a VERY sensitive stomach and I'm highly lactose intolerant and Carnivor does not cause me any discomfort or bloating whatsoever.
After five times of continuous usage it was obvious that my muscles where much denser and harder and had more strength and stamina in training. Creatine does this to you :)
Have in mind that the creatine is not extra! It is contained in the beef protein.
I usually consume 2-3 scoops pre-training with my sweet potato and another 3 post-training with a medium to high GI carbohydrate.
Truth be told, the taste of Carnivor is mediocre at best.
I find the Fruit punch flavor more pleasant to drink than blue raspberry but that's a matter of personal preference.
All in all, Carnivor is a superior protein product and I'll let you judge that by providing you with the label facts AND by trying Carnivor for yourself.
