I wont get it…not because of the price, but because my training is great, but my diet is completely shitty. I’ll work on my food first before I get it.
I do enjoy the get a job statements because I think most people on this board are either working full time jobs or are in a demanding college field (if you aren’t then they are right, get a job!). I think actually adding another 20 hours a week for another job for some might take away a lot of the key building blocks which are necessary for this protocol to work optimally (sleep, proper nutrition, regular workout times, etc).
If any of you are attempting to work extra hours to fulfill the need for this product I do applaud your work ethic and think you may stand to gain the most from it. Anyone who has the work ethic to pound out extra hours on the job for a muscle building protocol will indeed put it to good use.
I will throw this out there though, people would happily pay upwards of $600 dollars a month for the Velocity diet. I understand that it replaced the food in their diets but I think this will at least trim off enough food (especially if the MAG-10 is used for pulsing as well) that it breaks even with that diet or at least close. I’m curious to see what the experts have to say on this as to if I’m way off base, I know I can swing a $250 a month food bill (rarely do but CAN being the key word).
Just to let you know i’ll be using the full protocol with DC training for the first 3 weeks and than the very same protocol minus 1scoop of ANACONDA for the next 3 weeks.
Ill report progresses on the DC thread, and probably on the ANACONDA user forum
there’s an ANACONDA user forum?
Should be interesting. I bought the full package and am looking forward to a balls to the wall in December.
You’d be surprised how easy it is to “waste” $350 a month on bs, yet you guys are PMSing over ANACONDA protocol price.
-drop the internet from your cell phone
-don’t rent movies at video stores, use Redbox or Netflix
-quit trying to impress women on expensive dates. Heck, the average date these days is a benjamin
-cut out all alcohol
-call around and get cheaper car insurance. If you’re driving record sucks well then you’re an idiot. Can’t help you there.
If you need more financial help just ask. You’d be surprised how much free advice there is out there in life. There are a TON of ways to save money.
Some people are not realizing the actual cost of the protocol. Even though the package runs $345, you get extra MAG-10 for pulsing on off days, a lot of extra Alpha-GPC, and the Nalgene bottle. If you calculate it all up based on the prices for ordering multiples of each item, the cost breaks down like this:
ANACONDA: 3 scoops @ $2.72/scoop = $8.16/workout
MAG-10: 2 scoops @ $1.60/scoop = $3.20/workout
FINiBARs: 3 @ $1.50/bar = $4.50/workout
Alpha-GPC: 1 serving (900 mg) @ $1.04/serving = $1.04/workout
so, $16.90/workout is the true cost. Say you work out 4 times a week, it’ll run you about $270 for a month. It’s a stretch, but not as much as you might have thought. Again, this is all based on you using these products for workout nutrition only, but it is the FULL protocol.
Not bad!
For anyone who’s interested, the old recommendation of:
-90: 900 mg AGPC
-60: 2 FINiBARs
-30: 2 scoops SWF
-10: 2 scoops SR
during WO: 2 scoops ANACONDA
+60: 1 scoop MAG-10 (pre-meal)
runs $14.97/workout, and since the post-workout MAG-10 may not be necessary (no post workout nutrition on the new protocol), the cost without it is $13.37/workout.
Say you skip the PWO MAG-10, 4 weekly workouts will run you about $214, and with it it’s about $240 a month.
NOW, not only is the new protocol way more convenient, CT has stated he felt the effects 5 times faster than the old recommendation.
Hope that clears it up.

Call me crazy but when people start rearranging their entire lives to buy supplements i think that goes a little far.
I hope anyone who does all of the above to get the protocol is in some seriously fuckin good condition at the end of it all
I hear ya, I’ve cut out 300$ a month on Jagerbombs alone the last few months. I’m very happy it’s only 345$, any other company would sell it for double that imo.

I agree with you.
I am just posting because I am noticing many of the people I know who claim they are always flat broke…are the same people who have Twitter and instant email on their BLACKBERRIES and iPhones. Most people just like to bitch and complain even though many of us are likely spending plenty of money on shit that could go other places.
I am not one for putting much focus into supplements either and never have been. I also know that many of the people complaining or even worrying about this are not the type who are that serious in the first place. They just think they are because they have every workout written down on a spread sheet.
It will be those who log in after two months of just taking supplements saying they haven’t made any progress…even though they should have been making progress without any supplements.
I dont know if anyone tought about this but…
If you switch things up a bit and use 2scoops of Anaconda + 3 scoops of MAG-10 (instead of 3/2), your protocol is good for 22 workouts instead of 16…
Altough you would need to buy another box of FINiBARs
Another point people seem to be missing is the “acceleration” effect that ANACONDA will have on its cost/time.
If my understanding from CT’s posts and the ANACONDA article are correct, the point behind the ANACONDA protocol is to decrease recovery time allowing more work to be done, namely more workouts in the same amount of time.
If this is correct, you might begin at 4 sessions a week, but ANACONDA will allow you to push to 6-8 sessions a week, possibly doubling its cost/mo.

Yes, but even YOU are missing one important factor that nobody else has yet acknowledged.
If you click on the Anaconda package, at checkout you will see a “Special discount” awarded of $35. Meaning, even if you were to buy multiple units of each supplement in the package to accrue the multi-unit discount, you will NOT receive the EXTRA $35 in savings. Since the package is meant to run for 16 workouts a month - not sure where some of you guys are getting this “10 workouts thing” - then you would take $35 / 16 workouts per month as a SAVINGS.
So, your calculation of $16.90/workout is accurate IF a person only ever buys the supplements separately and in multiple units. If they actually purchase one “Anaconda package” per month (16 workouts usage), despite getting a $24 Nalgene bottle, they STILL receive $35 off MORE…
So the cost is actually $16.90 MINUS $35/16 workouts (savings for buying the entire package) … which gives us $14.71 / workout.
Jehova,
I have no clue where you are getting $21/workout. Not sure where you went to school.

I actually edited it right after I posted, but we know how well your edits show up. I put it at the $16 as many have said. I had the $21 from someone else’s calculations. I’m sorry, I’m not concerned enough to be doing calculus j/k .

What thrifty lifting elitists! I love it. Now you just have to figure out who you can sell the extra Nalgene bottles to in order to push the per month price even lower. Let’s find some thirsty hikers.
I think some (not all but some) of the complaints here are based upon the ‘uniform poser’ syndrome. Permit an old guy to preach…
When I was a kid (50s and early 60s) 95%+ of the sports I played were pickup games, not leagues. No uniforms, coaches, etc., just kids in normal clothes (jeans, t-shirts, tennis shoes) playing, policing ourselves. Nowadays kids (and adults) seem to want uniforms for each sport. Even joggers have jogging outfits, tennis players have tennis outfits, bicyclist have bike outfits, etc. Many folks are more ‘poser’ than real athlete – they want others to see they’re bicyclists, and it’s easier to buy a biking outfit than bust their ass several hours a day, every day, for year after year.
Some of this ‘uniform poser’ syndrome is driving some of the complaints here – some folks want to be perceived as hard core weight lifters and it’s easier for them to buy supplements and brag about that to their friends so they’re perceived as hard core weight lifters, than to bust their ass for week after week for the years required for all to see they’re hard core weight lifters.
So the high price of Anaconda excludes them from being able to use it to pose – they can’t afford the ‘uniform’.
For the comprehension-challenged, I said ‘some’ of the complaints here, not all. If it doesn’t apply to you than it wasn’t directed at you, so no righteous indignation please.
Disclaimer: I’m not a hard core weightlifter, not even a ‘serious’ one (hopefully someday, but for now, no). I could mainline Anaconda every few hours and it wouldn’t substitute for what I need – ass-busting work for week after week for a few years.
