Taste: 10/10
I dont know how in the world they can make this taste so damn good but they do. This is the best protein powder I have ever had. If you have not tried this flavor and you take Muscle Milk then WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR! I haven't been disappointed with a single muscle milk flavor yet.
Ingredients: 9/10
I don't care what people say about it having a lot of fat in it. The fact it has such a nice blend of EFA and MCTs makes me like it. The casein in it is great also. I dropped the scoop of powder in water and it stayed intact, INTACT. That goes to show you the amount of casein in it.
Consistency: 10/10
Muscle Milk is nice and thick, just like a milk shake. Throw in some oats for some good carbs.
Mixability: 10/10
I used a blender just because I wanted it to be perfect. I've used a shaker bottle, and was still impressed by the mixability.
Overall: 10/10
Despite the 9 it did get, I give this a 10/10. It's just awesome. If I can continue to afford it, it's a staple in my supplements unless I can find a better casein. This is not a wonder product, but it is darn close to one of the best protein powders you can get.
I have used this product a total of three times now, in 3 separate cycles.
I liked the ingredient profile of this product as it contains proven arachidonic acid, 6-OXO, and divanil which all have proven to put on some decent size.
I used three liqui-gels a day for a 20 day cycle.
No major side effects were noticed except for slightly oily skin and more DOMS attributed to the arachidonic acid.
Pumps were a little greater, again attributed to arachidonic acid.
I forgot to take before measurements, but I will say the scale did not lie and I gained around 4-5 lbs on this product, and I am not much of an eater. The strength gains were very nice on this product, mainly noticing improvements in skull crushers and bench press.
While this does not live up to the original HALODROL, it is a great alternative for someone who does not want to use steroids. Great job, Gaspari.
