**** UK Bodybuilding on a Budget ****

[JordanBrah]

Gonna order me those oats, have been meaning to for a while. I also think MP sell peanut butter which is pretty cheap too, dunno if it beats the sunpat one though.

I tried the PB, it made me ill, had an upset stomach all night, dirt cheap though so worth a try!




Also if you have a smart phone download myfitnesspal if you haven't got it already, it has almost every food in the UK in it's database and will count the calories for you and tell you how many remaining etc etc. It also has a barcode scanner and 9.9 times out of 10 it will know the exact macros of any food you scan.

Comparison website for food lol

DJ Sneak deserves to be green.

With regards to pre-workouts: scrap 'em. I used to be an avid buyer of no-xplode etc. until I read this article (you'll be glad that you did):

Just after I placed my order for the peanut butter on MP I click back to misc and read your post haha. Hopefully it'll be okay for me. The sunpat one is cheaper per gram though, only got sainsburys and tesco near me however so will check prices.

I heard about that, don't people think wtf seeing you scan barcodes on products?

I'm only 16 so I don't need this info yet but great thread. I came across this post like a year ago. Enjoy brahs.http://www.sixpackfactory.com/9-tips...-tight-budget/

Good thread,

Tesco Cottage Cheese, 69p for a pot with 33g of protein in it

Tesco Chicken to go, £2 for 5 BBQ or Spicy chicken drumsticks

Branston Baked Beans - £1 for 4 tins with 24g of protein in each

Anyone know where I can get a ECA Stack?

Hey you can buy Chesteze in Sainsburys, boots and lloyds pharmacys and local places, each has 18mg of eph (pharma grade) works out cheaper than kaizen, (can only buy 1 pack at a time in the big places) just buy caffeine pro from MyProtein and don't bother with aspirin not needed.

Misc, don't forget lifting clothes, equipment, gyms etc. as well as food. Will rep for suggestions of other poverty ridden things that will help us reach aesthetics.

Will probably try this. Unemployed right now and my jack3d is running low, thanks brah.

Great thread.

[maneck35]

get your meat from a meat market and not a supermarket

1. This. I get 5kg of skinless boneless chicken breasts for £17.50 from my local meat market. Lasts me 8 days or so.

2. Buy frozen peas and sweetcorn for £1 a bag from Jack Fultons or Herons food or any local frozen food shop like Iceland.

3. Buy Sainsburys basic baked beans in tomato sauce for 26p a can.


4. 600g chicken breast marinated in lemon juice and Chicken Tikka Masala + 100g peas + 100g sweetcorn + half can baked beans is my staple post workout dinner.

5. For cheap carbs with low fat I get New York Co. Cinnamon and Raisin Bagels. Microwave each bagel for 15 seconds and eat. They're usually always on offer in Tesco or Co-op or Asda for £1 a bag.


6. Check for deals on www.hotukdeals.com and www.mysupermarket.co.uk before you go out to get groceries.

7. I also get Tesco Light Choices Sandwiches and they have a good range of those. They're not exactly cheap but they are a decent source of protein since I've stopped taking whey.

It's worth a pop brah. I got 100 caffeine pills for 3 quid last week from a place called bodyactive in Liverpool. One pill alone gets me ready for early-morning sessions, 2 pills blows my head off - I don't see any need to pre-workouts anymore.

Where can I buy AKG? The link on the article to MP doesn't work anymore, can't find it on my protein. Any recommendations?

Probably, no chits are given.

I don't understand what age has to do with it bro, write all this stuff down on a list and give it to your parents on the next shopping trip, I wish I did that earlier. If they say no, proceed to bert stare them and shout IM FAWKIN ZEEZ BRUH.

Any of the above. Do me (and the misc) a HUGE favour please brah. A big favour. I didn't buy the L-Arginine. So I'm basically just using caffeine. One day when you're taking that mix, drop the L-Arginine and report back whether it's worth the extra money spent on that as opposed to just the caffeine and I will rep you into oblivion.

EDIT: Sorry brah, 2 of those links are chit, try the last (http://www.ironscience.co.uk/aminoac...glutarate.html)

[MSP8]

Brought that Peanut Butter from MyProtein. Very thick, unspreadable and was making me **** 8 times a day. Was cheap though

[PSVita]

Is it possible to register at Booker without being a business?

EDIT: NVM, you can't unfortunately.

Still some good stuff in here.

Sure thing brah, I'll probably end up resorting to this if I don't find a job soon lol.

UK's about to experience an influx of big, aesthetic kunts and a shortage of cheap chit.

Wanna find a better price for the AKG as in total with the caffeine pills it's still £10+ and at 100mg AKG I'd get around 24 servings. Jack3d is about £24 on Amazon with 45 servings or so. Not sure how much caffeine and AKG you get in Jack3d though, it doesn't even say. :/

[djsneak]

Protein pudding:

Makes 4 servings (or 1 if hungry lol)

Sugar free angel delight (sainsburys own is 8p a pack Choc or strawb)
4 scoops unflavoured whey
milk (use less than stated on pack or goes runny, just judge by eye)

Mix and chill

enjoy

[Ronnie87]

I go to 'The Gym' in Leeds city centre, not a bad place overall

Dat dere gains cake, 1 egg, 1 scoop of whey

Can taste like cardboard but it's filling as **** and takes away any cravings for any bread type food.

If you live near any polish markets or shops, buy stuff from there, dead cheap for everything.

And I always check the reduced section of any shop. Dem barGAINS from 11:30pm to 12

has anyone found that the market value chicken at tesco is always out of stock?! the store next to me is huge so there's always a ton of people in there but i've never been in there and seen any left

I live next to big Tesco and they are always low on the chicken, I got some strips in there and they looked like they'd been butchered with a lawn mower, stick to Sainsburys or Aldi now

[TwentyEight]

In on great thread. I get my chicken from a food wholesaler called Batleys. There's another called Bookers - google that chit brahs. 5kg of chicken for £20 (srs)

Been on the Bookers website, some awesome deals on the homepage. Tried registering but its giving me all this "are you a business or charity?" chit, can I just shop there?

Misc, don't forget lifting clothes, equipment, gyms etc. as well as food. Will rep for suggestions of other poverty ridden things that will help us reach aesthetics.

Equipment:

If you have the space home gym is the way forward. Gumtree is your friend.

Cheap bench (£30) and squat rack (£30)

As for weights, check gumtree especially during summer because people are clearing out. Look for weights less than £1/Kilo. Thats a good deal.
Also try Decathalon for cheap new weights and barbells.

Pullup bar for £10 check ebay or decathalon

Pretty much everything you need. I have spent less that £120 on my home gym which is less than one years membership anywhere. Not to mention when I move out I can get back most of my money for the weights as they dont really depreciate!

Also a neat little trick for weighted pullups

Get one belt and put it round you waist just tight enough that it wont fall down get another one and thread it through the weight disc then buckle the belt around the belt around your waist.

You can also use belts as lifting straps if they are made out of strong flexible material. (The type of ones that come free with Next jeans)

Cool tip that. I'm on recharge but I'll rep the fuq out of you when I can.

North east brahs : Premier Meats 4kg chicken breasts £20 or 2kg for 12. Team valley and Kingston park branches.

Also sainsburys do a tin of mild chicken curry for a quid that claims to have 56g of protein. Tastes good as well
