Thread: PHD Recovery 2:1

Hey guys just thinking of buying this product because everyone i speak to about it, it's highly recommended, have you ever tried it? with what kind of results?
Taste?
Ok to use after weights and cardio?
Is it ok to use while cutting?

Thanks

best product ive ever used hands down. i use it as my shake right through the day as well as post workout i love it so much lol. it is extremely refreshing and easy to get down after a workout. plus there is the added bonus of it being nutritionally fantastic and containing everything you need post-workout.

Do you not get fat using it during the day with all that sugar!? I could use CNP's like that though!

most people would i would imagine but my insulin sensitivity is low and my metabolism is unreal so i dont add fat to be honest. plus recovery has a good mix of carbs including waxy barley which has a GI of 30 odd. quite afew weight gainers are jsut full of maltodextrin so are far worse then the recovery as far as high GI carbs go.

i didnt really like the CNP pro-recover. is that the one you use?

I would imagine im the same then, pro mass when you mix with milk has more sugar than the pro recover anyway i think! Yea i use chocolate pro recover, i spose the taste grows on you doesn't it ive never tried any others though, oh except usn muscle fuel anabolic which took about an hour to drink! Seen as though you've got a fast metabolism like mine, when your cutting how many high carb days do you have? I was reading i should be having between 2 and 4 but i normally just had 1, i always seem to lose a lot of weight i dont know whether im losing alot of muscle or i was just a fat b*****d before! Should really start making my own questions instead of hi-jacking other peoples shouldn't i!

Thanks guys
Is it ok to use while cutting, considering u use it post workout, surley the sugars wont have a big impact?
What kind of results have you got from it AC?

i would use it whilst cutting if you are still having moderate carbs. if you are trying to do a keto diet you cant use it but i will be using it on a cut.

as far as results go its very hard to tell with protein. i never judge a protein on results as my diet, training, rest etc all have a bigger impact than the protein shake i am using so if i add 2kg i wont put it down to the protein ill put it down to a good combination of everything. i judge a protein on quality, taste, value, etc and the recovery comes out on top of all of those so thats why i love it so much.

to swigs, i never really have massively low carb days due to my metabolism. ill have no less than 100g carbs on my low carb days when dieting. ill find out over the next 4 weeks or so how i react to these.

Adam,
I currently use PHD synergy as my pre and post workout. Would PHD recovery be better for me post-workout and then I could take the synergy mid afternoon, instead of my PHD Whey? I am maintaining at the moment, so would it be ok for that, with 2 lots of synergy?

PHD does look better than CNP to be fair, i might give it a go myself when i run out of CNP.

Yea same as me im not on a keto diet, sounds about right then because i'll have 150g most days mixed with maybe 1 below 100g, aswel as a few high carb days! Think i need to get some of these callipers next time to get a more accurate reading. I dont think ive lost as much muscle as last time, its just a bit disheartening going from 12 n half stone to just about 10, although i look better. Definately doing the challenge next year, what was it judged on how much you've changed or the best physique? Because if it goes on how much you've changed thats going to give me an incentive to eat sh*t all winter!

WHat's your favourite flavour Adam mate?

I haven't used the product but in my Monster order today, there is a bag of it in the berry blast flavour!

I plan to try them all in the next few orders and see which flavour I prefer.
