LBA's or Scivation EXTEND?

[scott riz]

I would like to get peoples opinion on these two supplements. I know LBA's are a complete protein and Extend is just a Bcaa. Just throwing out to the members which they prefer and why.

Scott, you realize that BCAA are not a protein right? It is like comparing whey and NOexplode.........it is just WAY TOO DIFFERENT A PRODUCT

I don't know of any protein supplement that is as effective as LBA except for maybe a 50-85% hydrolyzed caseinate in tablet form or powder like PeptoPro.

BCAA would be useful to use before, during and after a session, but even then I would prefer LBA or the HC.

Both

Thanks, for clarifying this. They are hyping this supp. so much and I just wanted to see what others had to say.

They? Who are they? Scivation? Always just read labels........there is your answer.

What's even better about LBA's is the company that makes them now.

Most people had 2 complaints about LBA's.
1) Too expensive
2) Not a complete protein.

So what does Phil and Trueprotein do?

1) Give you twice as much for the same price (cut the price by 50%)
2) Make it a complete protein.

That kind of customer service is astounding.

When I work out I drink extend with an extra scoop glutamine and 5 grams creatine and I put about 2 tablespoons of lba's in the shaker cup and sip as I work out. They are both grape flavor and dosent taste bad at all best of all worlds IMO.

And 3) much better flavors

Scivation Xtend in a heartbeat! Add some free-form Beta Alanine powder, and/or Citrulline Malate, and you'd be good to go!

sorry bro, extend doesn't even compare to LBA's, NO CONTEST! lets see with LBA's i get all the amino's i need, great taste with numerous flavors, and I get a super-hydrating effect with the glycerine thats in them, O YEA and its a complete protein... KNOWLEDGE IS POWER!

but hey take what you want!

 

[peachfuzz]

simple answer is xtend or any BCAAs for that matter.

'Knowledge is power' . . . so you're questioning my IQ here, or what?

Each to his own, so grow up . . . I PREFER Xtend, alongside the BA/CM, but I'm not gonna go telling people THIS IS THE ONE TO USE UNLESS YOU'RE DUMB, kinda deal.

Xtend
Great flavors - CHECK
Great profile - CHECK
Great to mix with other proteins/pre-workouts - CHECK
Inexpensive - CHECK
Added CM - CHECK

..... sorry broski, I don't need more checks than that to find my OWN favorite.

Really...that is the simple answer?? You need to read up son...it could be the simple answer for you my man...it is the wrong answer if you're looking for a complete "protein" source. LBA's are the simple, yet correct answer.

Nice intro...you've must have taken the Dale Carnegie class on how to win friends. Look...B wasn't slamming your IQ...it was only stating that LBA's are the better protein source..along with a few added benefits. That said...B, I'm not going to answer for you bro. You've earned your strips, and you've proven time and time again your knowledge of nutrition. We have all learned from you, MD, Phil, Dante etc. This cat just sent me to orbit, with his 9 posts in total...ahhh screw it.

 

[PHIL HERNON]

Well

They both must be great products..........but again, very different. LBAs are complete protein.......lock 2 guys in a room,give guy number 1 LBAs...... give guy number 2 scivation BCAA .......want to know who is coming out in 1 month with more muscle? The LBA guy FOR SURE..........no question. Now, extend that another month........the LBA guy will come out just fine, the BCAA guy may not even be alive. It is branch chain aminos......its not a protein...........but hey, not everyone wants to be guy number 1.

 

[musicmann89]

like Phil has said 2 different things, I use lbas are a main protein source I cant do that with just bcaa's. I use bcaas after I train sometimes that is about it.

 

[K-fed]

I wanna be guy number one...
