I suggest going to your nearest supermarket and have a look. This is the nutritional info on the chocolate brownie Atkins bar:

Serving size: 60g
Energy: 925kj, 221kcal
Protein: 18g
Fat: 9.3g, 5g saturated
Carbs: 3.1g
Sugar: 1.1g
Fibre: 9.4g
Sodium: 189mg

Tastes pretty good too.

221 calories?

I want to buy mass protein bars to have as snacks at work, they're pretty damn expensive though... Anyone know where to buy at wholesale prices? Haha.

Try GroceryRun.com.au - Just like supermarkets, only cheaper! every so often.

“It is not the actual protein in these supplements, often coming from a food like whey, which will increase your weight. It is the total number of calories in the supplement. The problem is that the supplements are often loaded with piles of sugar."

The cheaper ones always are - it's odd that they preach buying cheaper proteins, yet then rag it on the sugar in protein powders.

You like prawns?

Really good source of protein (about 25g per 100g) and ridiculously low levels of fat

Shoulders yesterday, did some hardcore drop sets for dumbbell press.

30kg -> 20kg -> 12.5kg

8 reps each for the first set, then only managed 6 and then 5...

[Narkee]

30kg DP is super impressive.

I did 8 on 25kgs this week. Tempted to go to 27.5kgs next week but not sure if the shoulders will hold up

[TakingthePapiss]

Yeah I can do 8 on 25kgs but I can only do them if I have a spotter, can't get the damn things up.

Can do 22.5kgs fine though.

[Ball So Hard]

Can also smash out some 22.5kg but when I get to 25kg... game over.

[Dogbloke V2]

I can shoulder press 26kg probably go up to 28kg next time

Use breeno's technique for getting them up. Deadlift them to standing position. Then swing them up to shoulder height and sit down. Works well.
