The Official Lebanese Thread

[Meesh0]

Ok so where's the cheapest place to get protein powder in Lebanon. I just got here and forgot my 2lb tub like a moron.

Help would be appreciated guys.

Well man as far as i came to understand it depends on the product line. What's the item?

[Meesh0]

Welcome back home hope you'll have a nice summer the weather is starting great, where are you staying in Lebanon? GNC sells the ON Gold with 20% off i get it for 100$ first nutrition has same prices usually maybe a little less but more protein deals you can call and ask, but they wont give you the price on the phone if there's no deal.

Edit: whatever you buy check the expiry date, yeap welcome to leb :P

Frst nutrition's gold price beats the GNC even with a 20%?? Wow.

Btw i totally agree i fell once into the expiry thingy, i got a product called prolein to find out after some time that it has already expired bas guess what ? Kept taking it lol. Shame indeed wen l dawle ?

Thanks man. I'm staying in Dekwaneh. I saw a GNC and First Nutrition, but wasn't sure if I should even go in. I know it's always a bad idea to go in there in the US. Usually tell the sales rep to f*ck off haha.

Anyway thanks for the heads up. Hopefully I won't have a heart attack when I go in there.

Hey man, welcome to the thread. Don't worry about supplements you still under 18 and its better not to take any get your protein from food. You are skinny so you need to eat more your calories intake should be more than 3500c i am on my mobile now so i cannot calculate your accurate bulk calories based on your stats but i'm sure its about 3500c, your workout program will give you more endurance than gain, if you want gain the maximum amount of reps should not exceed 8 reps you can do 4 sets better than 3, a beginner routine you can start is 8x8x6x6 or 8x8x6x4 within each set you increase more weights. Ya3ne if you can carry 15kg for 10 times at the 3rd set you will carry it at 20kg for 6 times, and that's when you start gaining more.

Weather is nice still not crowded as usual due to the situation and the fact that everyone is afraid to come...

[Alcastive]

It's better not too put much weights at this age because any injury would be fatal, i have a friend who broke his shoulder at the age of 15 coz of weights he is now 38 and still cant put much on his shoulders when training.

Also having a spotter to help you increase your weights is better.

Yup you are right we still supply them... We do get the syntha6 but its not always available in stock so its not featured on the site. Free delivery all across Lebanon and you pay on delivery no need for credit card...

Bro that's one bad ass website. It's even better than most American websites.

Sadly I went to the dermatologist this morning, and she wants me to stop protein supplements. I told her that I stopped for a month before and I still got acne, but I'm going to give her a chance. A 25 year old that still gets acne doesn't have much of a choice.

Funny part is that she's making me get a blood test to see if I'm taking steroids. Oh well... I guess being dedicated and having proper nutrition is unheard of in Lebanon if you look jacked. I'm playing along for now since she's supposed to be great at what she does.

Be aware that some supplements can be shown positive to steroids test like natural testo boosters and many others.

I don't use that stuff either. All I use is protein powder just because of cost and convenience (well it's more cost effective in the US) and I haven't used that in a week either.

Blame it on the monopolies of the sole distributors in Lebanon.

I'd take the Myofusion over the ON for taste any day. I just don't like the rice protein situation of Myofusion.

Does any of you know of any powerlifting gyms in Lebanon? Where do all the powerlifters in Lebanon train?

[TarekG]

Prices don't differ that much imo! Notice: i'm buying some homebrand really good,pure and cheap!

[Georgesss]

Does any of you know of any powerlifting gyms in Lebanon? Where do all the powerlifters in Lebanon train?

And any powerlifting/bodybuilding events in lebanon?

and supps are so overrated in this thread, if you're worrying about price just get whole foods to hit your macros, if your taking protein only without knowing if you're hitting your macros you're doing it wrong, i get all my macros everyday with just spending 200$ every month.

This ! But hitting your macros everyday requires a good protein diet (eating same food everyday)

I have no idea about powerlifting gym clubs but i'll ask my coach on monday if knows any.

The thing is not everyone can macro daily. Ie sometimes i spend full days on just a lunch. In addition, 200$ is somehow not little for few and indeed imo i'd rather get some supplements with a max of 100$ making sure this is quite enough for my workouts.
