If KB's are your language, then you will be happy to know that I scored a 70lb KB from the AKC booth at the Arnold fitness expo for only $75 I defy anyone to beat that! No shipping and a heavy muther f-er of a KB for almost $1/lb! Yipee! lol. And seriously, I would bet money that the purchase of such an item might actually be more beneficial for strength/endurance and musclular gains than $70 worth of whey... but I get why people like it.

At face value, and to the normal shmo, protein is protein, right? So steak and whey are the same crap. Bodybuilder bob says I need 2grams of the stuff per lb of body weight (nevermind that the equation should probably be more like 1g/lb of lean mass) and all of a sudden you have an industry!

sadly, I actually like the taste of whey shakes. But I just can't rationalize the price, even if is it "cheap." Real food is cheap enough too, fills me up and since I work out at home, is readily available within seconds of completing my workouts.

When I run I have a hard time eating post workout. But otherwise... I'm pretty much fine. So fine in fact that our strongman training group has taken up hitting the local chinese buffet post workouts! Yeah, big smelly and hungry men. That will cut into your profit margin pretty quick
