Russian Bear "5000" review

[klokos]

HORRIBLE PRODUCT.

This product is NOT 5,000 calories per serving. Okay technically it is, but the company that makes this is so misleading and hides details such as the sugar content in its products. Russian Bear is only 5,000 calories if you make 5 scoops of it (which comes out to 5 different shakes) and no one is going to drink 5 protein shakes in a day. You'll end up puking your brains out and feeling like ****.

In reality most people only drink one protein shake a day, right after work outs… So with that being said, the ACTUAL calories per serving with whole milk is 850 calories and 27g protein..but wait here's the best part. 63 GRAMS OF SUGAR


This product is a joke.

Didn't you look at the label before purchasing it?

[AMeyer9]

ITT OP learns how to read a nutrition label.

[klokos]

No. I just saw "5,000 calories per serving" and I bought it… lol

This was a long time ago before I started reading into what actually in the product. You live and you learn lol

So you always buy things without reading what it is?


Do you also pay at the hub?

Something called Russian Bear 5000 cant be any good right? Just because you saw the word Russian you thought you were gonna be like the russian guy from rocky IV

Why the hell would you need an additional 5000 calories on top of your diet anyway?
Why don't you like food?

I wrote a review of this stuff in the store, but basically its only virtue is that it tastes good, if you like the overly sweet ice cream type of taste. Everything else about it sucks IMO. Stuff hasn't changed in over 20 years. My biggest beef about it is, they conceal a lot of important info about the source of the carbs and protein. They try to make up for that by including bull**** you don't need, like Sikadeer Antler powder, lol.

Now, there's a new company with a product called Russian Bear 10,000 (instead of 5,000). They're on ********. Apparently they bought the rights to the name......Not sure. But that product doesn't look very trustworthy either. Just my 2 cents.

This reminds me of a funny story.

- Self-proclaimed 'hardgainer' cannot gain weight.
- Claims to eat a whopping 10,000 calories per day.
- Request to evaluate his diet.
- Weider Giant Mega Mass 4000 appeared twice.
- He thought name correlated with calories and assumed he was consuming 8000 calories through supplements alone.
- Turns out he was under reporting his caloric intake by around 7000 calories per day.

Haha. My dad seems to think that Weider Mega Mass 2000 is the holy grail of mass gainers. He's convinced that when he used to buy it ages ago that one shake had 2000 Calories.

I'll admit I've tried it to gain weight.. I gained 5lbs, tho was probably all fat Lol.. Taste good but ya, nutrition wise ...Eh

lmao.. this pretty much.

that's pretty much what it is with this product. bros see the word 'russian' and think how russia used to pump their olympic athletes full of secret 'roids & yeti nutz & sheit, so of course this product must contain some benefits from all that experience, right? right?

[EVO-PT]

People who buy this product are worse than the product itself.

They have another called 4000 too. Only difference is the protein blend has 5 types instead of just 2. Oh and they added a dab of creatine. Otherwise it's they're both full of maltodextrin and fructose. And both give you the exact same 400 cals per 100g serving.

Anytime I see a calorie number on the front of the package, it's a sign the company is being childish and isn't worth taking seriously. The fact is, if you took a 100g scoop of any gainer, it's going to give you about 400 calories, plus or minus 10% or so. Quit with the BS and stop insulting people's intelligence. O wait..
