It sounds like a revamped MOVE with another name. The downfall you're talking about is actually the best part I see here since you said it's a post workout drink. Your cells then are very much insulin receptive as opposed to insulin resistant. So enjoy!Came across this drink in a local Woolies the other day, called Mammoth. I'm not sure exactly whats in it other than milk and some other additives, didn't pay too much attention, but it comes in chocolate and iced coffee.
Nutritional info is like 27g protein, 40g carbs, 10g fat, only downfall is theres like 44g sugar. pretty sure it packs like 460 calories as well. Since sunday i've been using it as a post workout drink until my new protein order arrives lol.
Anybody else come across this, heard about it or have any thoughts?
How can it have 40gms carbs and 44gms sugar?
You mean 84gm carbs with 44gm of that in sugar?

PS: even with zero sugar, milk would take care of your insulin spike due to its high level of the amino acid leucine. Though your insulin levels would be high, your actual blood sugar level would be normal. Milk, a very unique food when it comes to this (insulin/blood sugar) subject. I'll stop here before turning a simple question into an essay reply...
Fadi.
Then it's 20 gm sugar lol
Sugar is carbs.
Sam, naturally I have a question re the above. I see a difference of 50% in strength capability here. What's going on? I'm interested to know please since I've never seen this before.Week Three
Squat - 105kg (Assist) 70kg (Unassisted)

Do you squat fully, i.e. a complete squat or only 1/2 and 1/4 way down?
It's off the subject of your thread but it's about you, so...
Fadi.
Okay thank you. I've got yet another (and possible more) question for you. Why only 1/2 way down and not all the way down? I do have something to say about this but I'll wait for your reply. How old are you by the way Sam?I'm sure I could do more unassisted lol I just never have. With work and school I always end up arriving at the gym around peak hour so the one squat rack that they have is always being used by somebody who squats in like sets of 8. So me and my friend have been assisting instead. I've had like 2 opportunities to squat with the rack and I only put on 70.
When you say do I squat fully, Nah i'd say probably half way down especially when I was doing 100. Now that i'm off school for a while i'll have lots of time to head to the gym early and get plenty of time with that squat rack and olympic bar
I hope this answered your question.. :/

Thanks again for your reply, though it didn't quite address my concern (and it is a concern for you or I would not have bothered bringing it up). My concern is what you are doing, or rather the way you're doing it (1/2 squats) is an injury in the making, or an injury waiting to happen. You see Sam, there's much more stress placed on your spine as well as other areas like your knees when you only choose to squat 1/2 way down. Were you aware of that? Now that you are (and I can elaborate on this matter a bit more if you like), will you be willing to take some weight off the bar and perform squats properly, the way they were meant to be performed, all the way/complete?Well i think i was like 1 or 2 weeks into squatting and I was only doing maybe 50 or 60, this was at the time when I was squatting fully and for some reason after every set i was getting really bad hamstring strains in both legs and I had to stop, I think that put me off squats for like a week or 2 so I started doing leg press and hack squats instead til' I came back onto the forum and got convinced back into doing them, but since then I haven't been going the whole way down.
I'm 16 btw

Let me know your thoughts on this matter please Sir. Thank you.

I don't understand what you mean by your question. Squats as I know them are done from a squat rack. So what exactly do you mean by assisted? Do you mean someone helping you get up with the weight or somnething else? Please clarify for me Sam.Would you recommend assisting or using the rack?

Ahh, you're talking about a smith machine! My answer now is no, no to smith machine squatting since it locks you in a certain travelling path that may not be suited for you.Assisted squat rack? like the bar is stuck onto the rack so it can only move straight up and down and it like hooks on to the rack. If you get me?

Please perform free squats off a proper squat rack.

LOL.
I think you mean a Smith machine Sam.
