I know I know this is a Biotest website but just quick question:
I have always used ON WHEY for pre and post workout and i wanted to know why everyone promotes Surge so much?? whats the difference between the two besides the carbs and sugar in Surge…also i see that Surge is 3 scoops for only 25gs of protein
any answer would be appreciated because im thinking about getting Surge
Did you try reading the information on Surge in the store here?
Read the book Nutrient Timing and then decide about what you think is best PWO. After reading it I found Surge to be the best supplement based on the book’s recommended ratio.

yes i read it but i want personal answers not just nutritional facts
I always had a hard time getting in a real meal within two hours of working out if I had a normal whey shake afterwards, Surge despite all it’s sugar seems to sit ‘lighter’ in my stomach, and my appetite is roaring within an hour. That and, you know, all of the nutrition data about carb:protein ratio, bcaa’s, electrolytes etc.
It has a very good amino acid profile and good quality, fast acting carbs. There’s nothing wrong with ON whey. I used to buy it before Biotest came out with Grow Whey and free shipping.
I usually mix some whey in with my Surge anyway since I’m a bit carb intolerant. Buy a tub of Surge and mix a scoop of your whey into it and see what you think.
BTW, most of the flavors are truly tasty, even when just mixed in water.
Besides being lighter on your stomach like the above poster mentions it is an excellent way to replenish your muscles with clean and efficient carbs and protein at a proper ratio for PO(2:1 ratio).
The taste is great and actually motivates me to get my workout done, and serves as both a great weight loss supplement and bulking supp because of the clean carbs(Velocity diet) and even works to almost stop the catabolic state of the muscle after a workout completely on a bulk(If you double dose which I’m gonna try tommorow). Keep in mind that these benefits are from my personal experience only.
Edit:
I forgot to mention that for the sake of starting the anabolic phase of muscle growth I drink Surge pre, during, and post workout. I also take a shot of whey 45 minutes afterwards with some BCAA and while it’s only been two weeks, I’ve seen decent strengh gains so you don’t have to give up the whey!
Thanks everyone for your replies i think ill order some Surge and stick to my ON WHEY too…and mix them both

Hey…as far as the protein content of Surge…if you read the article on the post workout puzzle…it will explain to you that actually the amount of protein post work out isn’t in fact important to the anti catabolic response. In fact…protein synthesis was greater with only like 5g protein and alot of high glycemic carbs…thats what matters.
