LA Whey Review.

The people at "LA" are rather well-known for making fitness supplements aimed at the top end of the market. The brand is synonymous with tanned torsos, six-packs and bulging biceps. "LA Whey", their attempt at monopolizing the whey protein market is no different.

With a gargantuan 48g of cross, micro and ultra filtered whey (to ensure an absolute lack of lactose), the product decription promises big things in the way of muscle building potential and quality ingredients. But can we put our faith (and earnings) on LA Fitness to deliver at the same level as Maximuscles Cyclone" product?

I almost choked on a dumbell when I saw the price tag on this product. Granted, it comes in a hefty 2.2kg tub (larger than your average by about 0.5kg) but this is the first product I've reviewed by way of borrowing against the equity in my home. By this early stage, I already had huge expectations and did not anticipate being disappointed!

Maximuscle Thermobol Review

So, home I came after a gruelling session on the punchbag followed by an equally traumatic full upper-body workout expecting a tasty shake that would leave me in a position to train again in two days' time.

Initially I had some serious trouble trying to turn milk + powder= shake. Turns out the people at LA fitness don't account for people who don't possess a blender, and my usually excellent shaker bottle had genuine difficulty acting as a replacement.

Shock and awe. This protein doesn't just taste strange, it tastes like theres a party in my mouth and the contents of my cleaning cupboard are invited! Okay, thats probably a slight exaggeration, it tastes a little better than Maximuscle Cyclone (thankfully) and doesn't sit in your stomach like a lead weight for the entire day. I had another shake before bed, and awaited the morning's results with trepidation...

Success! Given the weight I'd lifted the previous day, I felt positively excellent the next morning. Slight soreness, but the protein had clearly done its job to the fullest extent. In fact, it made the whole incident with the shaker and re-mortgaging my house almost worth it! It seems there's a correlation between protein powders that taste like chemicals and their effectiveness upon the human body, but I'd gladly suffer it for the gains.

Unfortunately, because I have to review so many different products I often have to cut the dosage short, and LA Whey is one such casualty so I can't vouch for how a month's use would benefit you. However, I definitely saw some size and definition gains towards the end of my fortnight. If you have the cash to spare, and the requisite lack of tastebuds, opt for LA Whey.
