Update: 1 May 2010 - Did you know, that you can now ship a wide variety of supplements from bodybuilding.com to Malaysia at a very affordable price? (Cheaper than local Malaysian supplement stores!). Read my latest writeup and review - click here =>”BodyBuilding.com Ships to Malaysia at an Affordable Price (free 10% off Coupon Code)”
The time has finally come to reveal what I believe to be one of the best kept secrets from the majority of fitness enthusiasts here in Malaysia. Never again will you have to pay ridiculous overpriced items at a GNC near you. I’ve been talking about this for a couple of weeks now already if you guys have been following my posts.
I’ve come to discover a better place to purchase my supplements. Be it protein powder, protein bars, mass gainers, creatine, vitamins, fat burners, vasodilators, testosterone boosters - these guys have it all - and at down-to earth prices.
Some of their low prices are obvious on Optimum Nutrition’s 100% Whey Protein 5lb at RM180 (that’s 35% less than what you pay at GNC!), low-carb Protein Bars (Optimum Nutrition) at RM8 each (getting something similar at GNC would cost you at least RM15), and the list goes on.
Who am I talking about? Say hello… to EGOnutritions.
Situated at the Riana Green Plaza at the Tropicana in Petaling Jaya, Selangor, I had the pleasure of meeting up with the owners of EGOnutritions a couple of weeks ago, and I find it very reassuring to know that the owners themselves are fitness enthusiasts and not out there to rip you off your hard earned money. They know what they’re selling. How cool is that?
They’re a helpful bunch and always ready to help you make an informed decision before you make a purchase. Did I also mention that they deliver the items right to your doorstep? HELL, YEAH. Delivery is free of charge if you’re within their coverage area - otherwise, it’s just a minimum cost (which is still cheaper than you getting there on your own).
EGOnutritions carries items from Optimum NUtrition, Muscletech, Twinlab, Universal, EAS, Biotest, Next Nutritions, Nutrex, and many others. They are also currently the only official distributor for the BSN range of products here in Malaysia. Now if that doesn’t satisfy your appetite for the best - then nothing will.
And why haven’t you heard of them before? Beats me. That’s the first question I asked them myself when I finally got to meet the guys at EGOnutritions.
If you’re wondering why I seem to compare them to GNC so much - well it’s because I was one of those who were really glad when GNC first came to our shores as it finally meant that we were gonna get some decent sports nutrition items here in Malaysia at reasonable prices. See my previous post on GNC here. But now, after spending more than RM2,000 at GNC and also at other sports nutrition stores over the past 1 year and realising that not only do these stores overprice their items and frequently run out of stock - I’m also declaring all the everyday sports nutritions stores you see out there in Malaysia to be the worst place to get your bodybuilding supplements, mainly due to their overpriced items. For REAL. Don’t believe me? See what I just did to a Loyalty/Membership Card from one of the stores I used to frequent (card expires next year):
Convinced now? You better be, cos I’m serious.
Dailymuscle.com and EGOnutritions have big plans in the near future for fitness enthusiasts here in Malaysia and among many other things, we’re excited to see how we can contribute and create awareness for everyone out there.
For now, satisfy your curiosity and check out EGOnutritions at www.egonutritions.com.

‘Optimum Nutrition’s 100% Whey Protein 5lb at RM180 (that’s 35% less than what you pay at GNC!), low-carb Protein Bars (Optimum Nutrition) at RM8 each (getting something similar at GNC would cost you at least RM15)..’, what rip-off!
Despite the 35% cheaper tag than what GNC offers, can I get more percents off if I mention dailymuscle.com? :D I’m on my last few scoops for my shake anyways. Do they have loyalty card as well? They sound too good to be true and I pass Riana Green almost everyday!
Riana Green Plaza In Tropicana? Heck that was my first time hearing that place… hmm… no money to buy protein supps now, but maybe in a few months or so…
Hi I’ve been reading your blog for some time, good work! I have join gym since like 6 moths ago, been worin out on my own at home b4 that. I AM really curious abt protein shakes. I hesitate to try coz its seem expensive AND it might give me tahht “bloated” look, am I beig naive for thinikng this? Coz u see I am looking at lean mass and not into that big body building look u knwo what I mean? thks!
Yoga Instructor: A further discount if you mention dailymuscle.com? Well.. I dont think so. At least not yet. ;)
And they don’t have a loyalty card. Most of their sales are actually bulk sales direct to neighbourhood gyms throughout malaysia, and not your ordinary retail store. That is why they have no problems being hidden in Riana Greens.
Do give them a call before you drop by though as they may be out on a delivery.
Andrew: Wait till you see the stuff they have on sale there. You might wanna empty out your savings account.
steveneleven: Thanks for dropping by. There’s no reason to be confused or afraid of protein supplements. They are exactly what the name suggests - a supplement. They are not to replace your existing diet which should be rich in quality carbs and protein if you’re looking to build some quality muscle. Though expensive, they are convenient and make it easy for us to consume it immediately after your workout (this is the time your body needs the most protein - and FAST). It’s not going to give you a ‘bloated’ look.. that happens when you overeat? Everyone can benefit from a protein shake - and at RM180 a tub for 77 servings - it’s only RM2.33 per serving for 24g of quality protein. Consider the ease of use, time you save, and the great taste.. I think its value for money. As a start, if you consume one serving after every workout… I’m sure it will easily last you for 3 months. Give that a shot at least. Good luck.
demm, i wasted my one month old membership at GNC then. arrggh… thanks dude for the info. i shal buy it from EGOnutritions next.
hi thks for the advcice.. I shall try it then! Oh well perhaps I read somewhere that its the way to bodybuilding.. fiorst u bulk up then u do cardio liek crazy to take away the fat to reveal the muscle after… kinda extreme for me. Well happy gyming! buy from EGO!.. ego!
Cool, will check it out.
Ganee - please do. And dont forget to say the magic words - dailymuscle.com sent you. ;)
I believe The Yoga Instructor has been convinced already and is going over to make a purchase tomorrow.
Happy Shopping - and bring lots of cash!
Dailymuscle- Hey dude, dun pump till you explode. I still could use ya kind words now and then.
All you guys and gals out there- dailymuscle is an asset to the Malaysian online bodybuilding community. I respect his knowledge and am proud to be affliated with him. A fantastic job on creating awareness in the fitness scene. Fitness aint just bout the pumps. Its bout lookin good and more importantly feelin good.
Keep the faith y’all!
Jay @ EGOnutritions: Dude, we want more discounts!! Slash the prices some more la. LOL.
Will drop by your store one of these days to get my protein. Bring out the interesting stuff and put them on display would ya?
And thanks for dropping by. Cheers!
Damn…im still waiting for the YogaInstructor to drop by…sigh
Yeah, for the record my last guruji was on Nitrotech aight? So dun go round dissin what ya dun know.
Anyways i bet shes much fitter than most of ya blokes out there…and hell lot hotter too
Good stuff that i’ve found out this page here. I’ve just arrived back home from being abroad for the past 4-5 years and i’m shocked to see the damn prices of supplements here, actually…..its an extortion really. I buy my proteins from retail shops back in england and LA at about 30% of the price they’re charging at GNC and screw the loyalty card thing, GNC abroad dont need any loyalty card to get discounts haha.
Well thx to u guys, i’ve got my place to get some protein now and i’m actually lookin for a gym now that i’m back.
Jon: Need any reccomendations?
Dailymuscle: Yo dude… havnt seen you around lately. What diobo’lick’le master plan you scheeemin’?
Jon: Thanks.. and yes.. the prices we pay for supps here are crazy indeed. It almost makes bodybuilding/serious fitness a luxury sport.
Jay: Not licking anything la. He he. Been pretty tied up with work lately.. which also explains the slowdown on dailymuscle.com updates. What’s new in the store? Anything interesting?
Jay : I’ve found myself a gym to join, its kinda nearby my place and has branches around, well u probably guessed right, fitness first. Tho the free weights section aint nothin much to gawk at, i’ll make do for now till I know where my work will base me at.
DM : thx to ur site, i’ve found egonutritions which have much reasonable prices for the supplements. I’m actually gonna be dropping by there very soon to check it out.
Jon: Im just spreading the luuurve. By the way.. if you’re gonna drop by EGOnutritions, then you’ll be able to meet Jay. Oh by the way… which branch of Fitness First will you be at?
Jay: Over to you!
DM : Currently in the USJ Summit Branch. I’m gonna upgrade my membership to the passport one in less than a months time. I should know where i’m gonna be based at by then.
dailymuscle: With referal to ‘the news’, it literally got the entire EGO crew laughin our heads off. You’ll be among the first to get any updates dude.
jon: yeah dude, Xplode rocks! I dunno bout the sceptics out there but if you want my opinion…it just kicks ass. What else is good as a pre-workout supp? Theres tonnes out there , that is if you could get hold of it, but even then, you just cant feel the shit immediately. Id rather eat a banana (or 2), aren’t i right eiji22….hehehe
Jay : Dang lol, i drove to Riana yesterday evening and your not around haha, that was about 5pm ++. I forgot to write ur number down and call to make sure u were around. Will remember to do that first the next time i drive down.
Alrite , just visited EgoNutritions today and met Jay and the crew there. Very cool place, recommend it for everyone , they’ve got the best stuffs and best deals in town, two thumbs up. Everyone there was friendly , in fact i stayed around to chat for about an hour haha. Will certainly be droppin by next month for the stack i wanna try.
Jay : Fun chatting with ya and the dudes there. The ON Protein Diet bar that you recommended wasnt that bad,its in fact nice haha, 21g of protein in a bar and its Chocolate truffle flavored…..i munched it on the drive back home haha.
Jon: You stayed for an hour? Geez.. even I’ve never stayed that long before. Did you tip them extra for their hospitality or not? He he. Whaddya mean that protein bar wasnt that bad? It tastes like chocolate flavoured candle!!
DM : HAHA, so u’ve tried that chocolate bar haha…..it aint that bad really, since I cant really take sweet things, so its kinda good enough for me,
hey.. what happened to your post? why so many edits? You got threaten by GNC?
meathead: Not really. We both came to a conclusion that this article wasnt a very polite one, and I agree. Anyway, in essence - everything I’ve wanted to say on this post is still here. ;)
well, if your’re talking bout pricing, i am sure it’s going to be much cheaper not owning any physical stores and managing employees. It’s like errr… dell vs HP? not sure if the analogy is correct :p
meathead: I guess so. Ultimately, its all about being competitive and giving the best value to the consumer. So.. who would you choose? ;)

Other than the news that half the ego crew almost got killed in a car accident… and i meant almost… Whoah…
You guys should check out BSN’s Syntha6.
I give it like 10 thumbs plus a couple of toes up. This coming from me, I diss all protein… i aint kidding… ALL protein… they all taste like crap (w/plain H2O) but Sntha6…holy Fu@#! Tastes like melted ice cream (even w/plain H2O). God strike me down if im kidding.
Were so confident that were giving you guys a taste if you drop by the shop anytime soon!
What is Syntha6? The simplest explaination would be a hybrid of Nitrotech and ProComplex except it tastes so much better than those two combined.
Aite y’all
cheerz!
Jay: It better be as good as you say.. you’ve set the expectations real high now. So how much is a tub of Syntha6 going for? Give some details la. :P
BTW.. does this mean I can collect MY Syntha6 today? Will be dropping by later today anyway to pickup some supps. Why don’t you be a pal and whip up a few Syntha6 cocktails… cheers!
I agree with you that EGO nutritions do sell supplements at a reasonable price. Previously i used to buy supplements directly through a guy who was a dealing with a supplier. RM180 for a 5lbs protein tub is definitly a good buy
As a matter of fact, I recently bought Animal Pak at EGO for RM140. They’re selling other animal products at RM200. But through my guy, I get all animal products at RM170, including the Animal Pak, hence the reason why I bought it through EGO.
Im wondering if the guys at EGO nutritions know about this price difference and could perhaps sell me Animal Cuts at RM180 too, if not slightly cheaper :D. I am aware that Animal Pak is indeed cheaper than the other range of Animal products as it is just a multi/daily vitamin
Hope to get some feedback on this!
p/s: id be ur next favourite customer if the feedback is sweet :)
I get all animal products at RM170, including the Animal Pak, hence the reason why I bought it through EGO.
oops sorry, it’s RM180 actually
cheers,
Devan
Hey Devan.. you tha man. EGO rocks! Their prices speaks for itself. And to me.. at the end of they day, it all boils down to the price. I dont care who sells em.. i just want the best deal.
EGO crew.. any comments on the Animal Range? Aren’t they on offer this month?
DM: hehe yeah i do agree with u on that. What matters at the end of day somehow is about the amount money we need to fork out.
Can’t help it though, supplements are generally ridiculously priced in Malaysia
By the way, I read somewhere on ur site that EGO is sponsoring Mr. KL coming 9th of July? Will there be any promos at that time eg price slash, discounts or anything like that? Could save my money till then :D.
Oh and i also hope Jay can gimme a reply regarding my previous query.
Take care guys and keep pumpin’ ;)
devan: all Animal products at 180? Hmm… thats odd.
If you’re wondering yeah Animal Nitro IS that expensive, RM230, and the reccomemded dosage for amino acids is an icky issue but due to its ‘pak’ed nature, that will be the optimal unlike other amino acids where it RANGES from 6-15 pills a day.
Normally, the thermogenics are the ones thats gonna the pricier ones but all of us do try to bring down the prices… but of course there has to be a market balance la.
Com’ on im letting the PAK fly at only RM125 this period; and the CUTS going at RM172 just flew even before we had time to stock up. I cant say that it’ll be that cheap through out the year coz mostly it depends on the availability of the stock and ladadi ladada…
What i recommend to most of the boys is to stock up when we’re having our mthly promos. If you’re a BSN man, if you’re a Muscletech man, a Universal man or whatever… make sure you stock up to make the most of the deals coz the price might(most likely actually) would revert to normal.
Yeah we’ll have our lil pasar malam at Wisma OCM on the 9th. hahahaha… bout the price slashes? we’ll see about that k? hehehe…
Hi Jay,
The range of animal products that i get at 180 were primariy the Animal Pak, Cuts, M-Stak and Stak 2. I got ripped off cos that guy i got it from sold the Paks for 180 too!
When i was working in fitness first, most of the trainers used to buy stuff from him either for us or for our clients through him as he was offering us the cheapest price we could find….from steroids to natural supplements.
I bought the Pak from u guys during the Mr. SCP competition somewhere around May i was pretty surprised to find it going at 140. And now u tell me it even goes for 125?? ill be damned man! :)) But whatever it is, i could say ur prices are one of the best around. Hope u guys keep it that way too ;)
Anyways im looking forward to the Mr. KL comp on the 9th and ill sure as hell save up some cash for that!
See u guys this weekend at the Mr. Selangor championships, IF ur gonna be there yea.
thanks for the detailed response too Jay
hell yeah we’re gonna be @ Mr. Selangor. Look out for our exhibition booth!
Hi Daily Muscle, Tim and Jay.
I am James from Sri Aman, Sarawak ( a small town in Sarawak). I would like to say tq to EgoNutritions. Tim and Jay are both extreme friendly person. They always answered my e-mail and messages for enquiring so many things. They are so nice and the service is EXCELLENT. My kampung gym members always purchasing expensive supplements from other town and now i told them you can get it from EGO and the stuff will be delivered to your house ( previously we need to drive 3 hours to go the nearest and ONLY supplement shop ).
In addition to that this website is great and i love your statement ” leave your ego outside the entrance”.
By a Man from kampung gym and always laugh by other people ( ” uiks, Sri Aman also got GYM MEHHHHH ?” and the most frequent STUPID question people always ask me ” How much can u bench?”) ^_^
My SALUTE to EGO and Daily Muscle.
p/s the 3 hours journey is not easy, bad roads + hills and so many XXL lorry carrying log.
James: Kampong gyms huh? Thats what you call hardcore!
Yeah bro, on the behalf of the crews from EGO and DM… Cheers!
James: Hey bro.. Kampung gym or city gym - we all belong to the same brotherhood.
To Jay and DM ^_^, really hardcore plus girls are not welcome.
p/s unless they look like incredible hulk ^_^
James: Hey bro.. Kampung gym or city gym - we all belong to the same brotherhood.
I echo that statement….
thx Devan ^_^, i humbly received your respect
James: Hey come on bro.. girls should always be welcome, in any gym!
Devan: Thats the spirit.
Hey DM, regarding this post about protein and stuff, is it just for bodybuilders to take only? U see as I am doing cardio 3 times a week and PT’s 2 times. My weight is at 42KG now, what I would like to know is weather a regular person like me can take protein drinks. U c after I hit the gym in the mornin I am always rushing here and there to pick up kids from school and sending them all over town for extra classes and sorts, so I do not have time to eat lunch hahaha. Anyway I am too afraid to sit down in a restaurant cause i am sure to start eatin and all my cardion waorkout would be furtile, u get what i mean? here u burn the calories and and then u go put it back by eatin. So would drinkin the protien juice be ok for me? Oh and I dont want to look like u guys lah, bodybuilders type hahaha.Just want to be skinny but well toned…hmmmm..like the Alias gal, Jennifer garner.Oh sorry to be postin in the guys column hahaha
42KGs?? Gosh that’s light! I think Whey Protein will be most suitable for you. It can also server as a good meal replacement.
What do u say DM?
CluelessMama: Nope, protein powders are not just for guys and bodybuilders - we all need protein in our bodies. The question you need to ask yourself is are you getting enough? If you are, then there is no need to supplement with additional protein.
Bodybuilders tend to rely on protein supplements because of their ‘higher than usual’ protein requirements, and therefore supplements are an easy and convenient way to get the sufficient protein they need.
By the way, I know many, many women who supplement their diets with protein shakes. :)
Hey DM, hahaha thanks for the quick reply, well to tell u frankly I am not sure if I am getting enough proteins,lol…I do know is the food chart that I have to do out daily and than pass it to my PT weekly, where everything I eat daily is recorded and he says I am not eatin enoughlah. He keeps tellin me to ‘eat more, eat more’. He says that if I dont have some weight and fats in me I will end up burnin my muscles and all the weight trainin will be useless. If and that’s a big IF I do take the protein shakes will it make me fat and look like SHE man?
CluelessMama: Well yeah.. I dont know exactly what you’re eating.. but if your PT says your undereating.. then eat more! But eat right. And yes.. you need to fuel your body adequately in order for it to burn fat effectively. This is why starving yourself is never really productive..
BSN Cellmass at GNC RM320 after 20% discount
BSN Cellmass at Egonutrions… RM237 only… hahahahahaa…..
I really wish I could ship product to you guys but as of right now I can only ship our Liquid Egg Whites International in the continental USA.
im convinced….really.ill be buying my firness products their…from now on..
IronMass: :) Good choice… drop me a mail and let me know what you’d like to get - perhaps I could get you a discount.
hi guys! everything looks cool here. and for beginners, stick to basic compound movements ok. FORGET isolation training at this stage. stick to a regimen of total-body workouts, three times a week, emphasizing core and olympic movements such as the bench press, squats, deadlifts, clean-and-press and power clean. this will definitely put u on the road to fast size and strength gains. and if u want to avoid that “bloated” feel, try protein soya; they’ll give u quality muscle without giving u that musclebound look. PUMP UP!
Ohh.. Soy Protein.
I study pre-med at college.
Recent research shows that Soy protein actually increases progestrone hormones.. yes, even in males. In males, they are stored in bodyfat. So that means, the bigger your belly, the bigger boobs you’ll get.
I have first hand experience. After i took soy protein for a month, yeah, i gained muscle, but also got myself a little jelly and perky nipples, thanks to progesterone. XD
had to do extra cardio to burn em off.
Stick to whey, egg or fish protein.
No disrespect, or offend, I’m just sharing what I know :-)
Oh wait, sorry. I got confused. Is it Estrogen or Progesterone? I think I’m positive that Soy protein increases Estrogen.
So yeah, girls can supplement on Soy protein all they want.
And for guys.
Trust me.
You’d prefer to look muscle bound rather then having your nipples poking out your clothes. :-D
I went to egonutrition for the first time this morning.
Wonderful I’ll say with all the products available.
Now I only go to GNC for my Glucosamine Sulphate, and no other stuffs from GNC anymore. Damn! Shouldn’t have signed up with them at the first place. lol!
Me too. I went to the egonutritions for the first time to get fat burner and whey protein. Now damn awake, cannot sleep even i took the fat burner before 6 pm :(. It looks like i need to cut down a bit before my body can tolerate it. I only took 2 capsules before breakfast, lunch and dinner
hi guys …need cheap protein….try this website and talk to them….http://www.maxtrition.com.my/store/
100% Optimum whey protein goes for 170rm….better then EGO….think about it….better deal and better customer servise….free delivery as well…try to talk to kevin….
i know another supplier in malaysia ….i know ON 100% whey is going for RM170 or even can come as low as rm 165 checkit out guys….there is alot of choices so dont overspend your money…
hi friends….this guy called shukri is selling th 100%whey for rm165…more cheaper..try to call him…free delivery for fitness first and california members….cheap and delivery option is free for kalang valley
Just 1 question. Does EGO sell ephedra based fat burners ? Really, I want it.
yea mike, interesting question there.. got a friend here with the same question mark.
anyway, is it just me… or the prices of everything on EGO just went up?
ON 100% WHEY (5lb) is RM211 now? woooo..
rm210? hmmm thats certainly increased a little bit. yet still slightly cheaper than GNC.
It cant be that supply is short. Im still getting mine for rm170
well, thats what appears on their website i believe.
under table deals is a totally different story. hehe
trey: the supplement industry is being hit with a significant price increase for whey protein, and prices are now at record levels - even bodybuilding.com shows a price increase. But sometimes I wonder whether our local retailers are using this as an excuse to bump up their prices way more? Let’s hope that’s not the case.
You should check out http://www.maxtrition.com.my. They’re prices are even cheaper and they do door-door delivery too.
Gentlemen I need a shortcut to huge Muscle growth,howz the Anator or Cell tech, Anybody knows where I can grab some anabolic steroids, any other recommendations, am at Fitness first
“I need a shortcut to huge Muscle growth”
-dont mind me asking, but is there any need for this “quick” approach? upcoming competition maybe?
“Anybody knows where I can grab some anabolic steroids”
-they are certainly available. In fact i know a few guys who sell them very cheap. be careful when u buy from people u dont know, generally u will get squeezed if they know u dont know about the black market rates. can hook u up with one of them but whatever deals/transactions done is at ur own risk
-most importantly, make sure u know what ur doing. if ur gonna play with steroids i really recommend u learn more about it (different story if ur already an expert). most people will tell u the good stuff, but will not elaborate on abuse and possible side effects
Hey Sandman thanks for the response, can you hook me up with some numbers of the guys, for privacy just send me a msg. anyways whats the price range in KL. Im quite versed on the whole academic stuff on the steroids effects etc, im just planning for a short term use
Oh God what’s been happening here.
What is the difference between muscletech cell-tech hardcore and just plan cell-tech???
Ben: Besides the marketing hype and unnecessary fancy packaging that only raises the price… its supposed to be a ‘new formula’. As to what exactly is different.. I wouldn’t know. But personally, I’ve never bothered paying such a high price for Muscletech products - its just not worth it. There are many other supps you can consider for the money you spend.
I guess “hardcore” here is mainly for branding. Probably it may contain higher dosage of thermogenics and other fat burning ingredients. I really cant elaborate more as I havent compared it to Hydroxycut “Standard”.
I had a mate who tried Hydroxycut Hardcore and it costed him about RM230.
He is a sedentary person and claimed that it worked well for him but honesty, he looks exactly the same to me. HC Hardcore ss supposedly stronger than HC “Standard”. Personally, I dont really see the purpose of paying so much for it.
You’d be better of buying a 5 pounder whey, get more serious with cardio and DIET DIET DIET!
DM: Totally agree with you. MuscleTech products are ridiculously expensive!! The normal price for Cell/Muscle Tech is almost close to my monthly car installment!!
Ben: Try checking out Weider pro shop. I’ve tried one of their fat burners before and I was content with the results I got. Price is rather cheap too. Cant remember the brand but I recall it had red labels on it….and no, its not chromium if thats what you’re thinking.
An old friend recommended a fat burner from Dymatize some time ago. He said it was good and had a “kick” as it contained ma-huang. Don’t know how true this is and again, I cant recall the brand.
Perhaps DM can enlighten us?
What are some really good but cheap creatine supplements???
The Sandman: I’m not that familiar with the Dymatize range, and as for the ingredient ma-huang - it is basically a herbal source of ephedrine (also known as Ephedra). As for whether or not it is a dangerous substance - all I can say is that it has been determined to pose an unreasonable risk
Thermogenics will always contain some sort of stimulant - be it Ephedrine, Ma Huang, or Caffeine. The danger sets in because of the fact that stimulants can be dangerous when consumed while other risk factors are present (cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, stroke, glaucoma and other conditions.
We should all have a solid understanding of how things work to equip ourself in the proper methods of getting in shape for optimum performance and to safely achieve a desired bodyweight through diet and exercise before looking at ‘other’ alternatives. It saddens me when people look at thermogenics as the ‘only’ way to achieve their goals.
The ACSM (American College of Sports Medicine) holds its stand that the use of ephedra or any dietary supplement should never substitute proper physical conditioning and nutrition - who are we to disagree?
So whats the deal,with this Freak Fix product does is it really work,was thinking og getting it, Egonutrition doesnt hev it in stock,was going to order from the states,
anyone hav contact for cheap ON 100%whey protein(other than 0122178575 SAM n EGO) ?? Sandman-where u get urs for rm170?
BoNE: RM170 is ridiculously cheap. Correct me if I’m wrong.. but I really doubt that anyone can get it at this price anymore. Sadly.. all the local suppliers I know have raised their prices for Whey. Sometimes… I wonder if they’re just capitalizing on the fact that whey prices has increased worldwide and making an extra buck. If anyone can get it for RM170… please do share.
BoNE: Its been a while since I bought my supps from independent vendors. The last I bought mine was from Weider Pro Shop at Pyramid. They had a clearance sale (i think its still on) and I stocked up quite a bit.
As DM said, I doubt you can get whey for RM170 anymore again, expecially with the current world wide and local inflation rate shooting through the roof
yeah the cheapest i get is RM185 for Champion Nutrition (5lbs) and RM190 for ON 100% Whey.
nothing comes cheap :(
trey -kind to share ctc ?
oh, i thought most people here got stuffs way cheaper than i do.
well, not sure if i’m allowed to promote stuffs or other supplier in this website tho. if you email me maybe i can hook you up with the person who i always order from.
wats ur email?u oso a hardgainer ekk
treys091@yahoo.com
well, i have a fairly small stomach so i cant eat all that much, even when i want to. So taking in big amount of calories is a huge effort for me, hence making growth a little slower for me.
but on the good side of things, i can burn off fat real easy. i can eat crap all week and still wont give me a big tummy
supplements = stuffs that hasn’t been proven to work on everybody
drugs = researched done and has t.i. value.
why do u wanna spend money on something u’re not sure if it’s gonna work for u?
when i just started bodybuilding, i remember someone told me that animal mstak gives u more mass while animal stak2 gives u more cut. after reading thoroughly through biochem and physiology, i realized i was being cheated.
not cool.
besides protein, everything else is a placebo unless u’re stacking drugs with it.
I’m neither totally against nor totally in support of using drugs. I think it applies to what situation. If for competitive reasons, then of course this may not be right or fair. It’s hard to draw the line between these 2 as ethics may be an issue.
I feel that if the person wants to use drugs for personal reason(s), ie faster growth or they have “peaked” at some stage, I think it’s alright for them if they know what they’re doing, the consequences involved etc. If a newbie is thinking of dosing up on the 3rd week of hitting a gym, I find that totally stupid. You’ll see a lot of these happening in public gyms.
I guess this is quite a sensitive issue to discuss and some may think I need to get shot lol ;).
Nevertheless, it’s just my opinion though. Cheers!
Trey..already email 2u 4 the ctc
Hey gentlemen, where can I get PCT in KL, and prohormones but not steroids, I think they are a better alternative
Wow. Can’t believe his post has been here for more than 2 years.
Thanks for all your support.
I still gotta give credit to EGo for trying to keep the prices rather low. Its business at the end of the day but GnC no way hosay
Antonio: Self advertising?
Cheers!
I am only into bodybuilding for 6 months and I am very happy to have found Egonutritions. The great store front and helpful staff are blessings for newbies like me. Say, Tim, could you guys help to special order a Size S weight lifting belt for a slim lady like me?
jsa97: How heavy are you going that you need a weigh lifting belt? I’ve never used one myself up to today.
Not heavy. I am aware that using weight lifting belt wil not develop the core musles. I only intend to use it as a precautionary measure for the last set of squat and deadlift.
Hey jsa,
Thats a very smart way to train. Avoid injuries. Safety first. Dont worry about not being able to develop your core by squats and deadlifts. There many other safer less compounded exercise that you can do to develop core strength.
Get a belt. and watch that form of yours.
jsa97: That’s a good move. Safety first! :) Antonio agrees too.
Today was my first time walking into the EGO nutritions at The Curve after having found it hidden in some corner. And i can say the service was really “good”. Contrary to the comments i have read from this thread on the helpful staff, it was totally disappointing!
I walked in the store and there was this guy sitting at the counter. No greetings or smile. He got up, stand and watch from behind. Never even asked me what am i looking for or any help i need.
I went one round the store…and left… and this guy was still standing there…no goodbyes…not a single word utter from him! horrible experience!!!!
Haiya panghk, why so fussy. If u want something, then u ask the salesman la. If the salesman follow u around the whole shop, then ull get upset, say they harrasing u la, forcing u to buy la etc etc.
I for one prefer doing my scouting on my own. And if i need advise, then ill call the sales person.
I dont care of the service is good or shitty. What matters to me is what im gonna pay.
Quite the attention seeker arent you panghk?
I agree with Sandman. I don’t like buggy salespeople, but they should be attentive if i need assistance.
And if u just walked one round and cabut then what’s to expect? Usually sales ppl also start pitching when u show interest in a product.
Thanks Sandman and Jep for your reply! I m not like the two of you who maybe knows what you want when you get in there. I m a complete newbie to supplements. Don’t even know what to ask or what’s there. It can be a daunting experience.
And actually i did stopped to look at some of the products but this sales person just hide in a corner. Then i stopped by the counter to browse a catalog and gave a quick look at him…still no response. Is he afraid of eaten by the customer?
Being a sales person, they have to be sensitive to customers needs. Hey, i m the only customer in the store. Is it so hard for him to just ask whether i need any assistance? A sales person should know how to put the customer at ease. Well, i guess being a customer, each person has their own expectations on how they want to be served.
hi, i’m new with body building. I need some supplement and lost fat suggestion for beginner. Anyone can let me knw wat should i take ?? ONS 100% Whey Protein Gold Standart is a good start ??
Thanks for the heads up about this awesome supplement website! I used to order stuff from bodybuilder.com but it takes too long, customs is annoying and sometimes shipping can be costly (but not as much as buying from GNC). I’m planning to start on the Optimum Nutrition Whey protein and gonna buy it from GNC cos they’re running a buy 1 free 1 promotion, so it’s just slightly cheaper than egonutritions, but will definitely go there in the future for supplements.
On another note, have you heard of the 12 Second Sequence? I’m starting the diet/workout routine today and hopefully it delivers. I’ve been working out for 3 years now (and most of those years with a trainer), but seem not to get any results - in fact, i do have more muscle, but i also have more fat.
Anyway, i’ll be dropping by your website more often from now!
Oh, and to all Fitness First members in Malaysia, start writing into your clubs about the wastage of plastic bags by giving them out to members. In this day and age, we need to be act more conscious about the environment and work out ways to prevent wastage. For dirty gym clothes, just chuck them into your gym bag!
I don’t see the need to keep taking those plastic bags they provide in the locker rooms for your clothing (it IS a gym bag after all). There are also alternatives, like what I use. Check out the Mini RuMe bags at http://www.tinytapir.com … I se these nifty reusable bags that fold up into a little pouch to put my dirty clothes, hence negating the need of taking those stupid plastic bags from the gym.
And after that rant, i’ll sign off! Cheers, Marcus
Marcus: No, I haven’t heard of the 12 Second Sequence before. How long have you been working out with a trainer?
Oh, and also.. aren’t those plastic bags at Fitness First biodegradable? I remember them being environmentally friendly..
I had been working out with a trainer for about or so years (or maybe longer!)… it wasn’t really working near the end, probably because it was time for me to start doing it myself… or my diet was all over the place… or even my workout times were all over the place because of weird work times…
and yeah, the plastic bags at fitness first are “degradable” not biodegradable… and degradable bags (along with biodegradable) are actually still harmful to the environment. plus it’s still wrong to support such a wasteful practice.
Hey,do you have any idea whether they have any stores in Singapore?
Greetings from Singapore.
how ridicolous i’ve spent a lot of money to GNC(da blood sucking store) before..
i’ve bought MUSCLETECH products at RM500++
suddenly when i told to my gym buddy,he said he could get it at price of RM300++..n i’ve never been step in again at any of GNC store..
da motto of GNC..live well…makes people just LIVE HELL
thanx dude for all da info n post…it really help a lot of gym buddies..
Hi, really new to this. I’m glad I found this website. I’m not into bodybuilder. Just trying to get some muscle. Well, I’m skinny. Do you think it worth for me to buy supplement or are eggs enough? I’m looking into UN whey isolate now but it costs RM200+. Hmm, really costly!
Just trying to get rid of fat and getting some muscles.
ISBD: Glad you like what you read… actually, you don’t need protein supplements if you are able to consume a sufficient protein intake via food, but that can be difficult - so thats why most people get protein powders, just cos it is convenient.
hai,i have been looking slimquick extreme from your GNC LIVE-WELL website i want 2 ask i have been 2 your gnc outlet in spring mall kuching i have ask them i would like 2 buy this slimquick extreme product but they told me they didn’t have this product at here,so if i want 2 buy can i order from them in kuching outlet then they take stock from others outlet that have product i want,then i stop by 2 pick it up????
Mr Daily muscle..wat is the best supplements to build muscle..i dont want my body like a hardcores body builder..juz have a ‘tegap’ body lah..
help me..
jennieve: I wouldn’t know - perhaps you should give the guys at GNC a call?
cep: That’s a tough question - for me, I see the value in supplements only when one has got their ‘foundation’ in place - which means you are getting enough protein/carbs/healthy fats from REAL food, getting enough rest, and training hard - and at the end of the day, everybody is different and it is impossible to predict the human body. So, instead of recommending anything to you… I’ll actually do you a huge favour by asking you to re-look at your diet and what you’re consuming on a daily basis right now. If you really need specific product advise, then do give the guys at EGOnutritions a call - they have the right product knowledge.
Hello,
Good advice there bro. Actually not all Egonutritions (EGO) product are cheap. I bought Muscletech Cell-tech Hardcore at GNC store located at The Spring, Kuching for RM219.50 only, that is VIP price.
i visit Ego website and become their VIB member, still the price is RM264 for 4lb Muscletech Cell-tech Hardcore, plus some shipping charges. even if u walk in their shop the price is still higher than GNC.
here are few price comparison between both (both VIB/VIP price):
1. Muscletech Cell-tech Hardcore 4lb
- RM219.92 (GNC), RM264 (EGO)
2. Muscletech Nitro-Tech Hardcore 4lb
- RM289.12 (GNC), RM300 (EGO)
3. Muscletech NanoVapor 2lb
- RM251.92 (GNC), RM262 (EGO)
4. ON 100% Whey Gold Standard 5lb
- RM190 (GNC), RM211 (EGO)
this are the item i bought frequently. i decided to buy at GNC cos they give me better price n bargain. if i were to buy at EGO it would put a bigger hole in my pocket considering a bit higer price margin n shipping charges. But im buying other items from EGO which is not available at GNC, like Scivation Xtend n Ultimate Nutrition Muscle Juice..
Anyway, i give 2 thumbs up! for EGOnutrition for their user-friendly n effective website as well as lots of mega choices of bodybuilding supplements. they even have apparels n gym shoes selling online which i can say a great advantage compared to GNC. i hope in the future EGO will add supplement brands from Dymatize (Elite Whey), Cytogenix (CytoNox, CytoCell and Xenadrine RFA-X) and Inner Armour (ISOMaxx, Quad).
Both seller (GNC & EGO) have the good n the bad. Just a matter of which one would u decide to go. By the way.. we all just customers n users.. hehe..
Spend wisely. thank you.
Hey barrmetal,
Thanks for highlighting the price difference. This is great info.
helo Sandman,
u’re welcome bro..
just little advice for ppl out ther, be sure to compare prices from shop 2 shop 1st before buying.. otherwise we’ll end up rugi in the long run. pls check from time 2 time whether there a r any promotion or discount, n grab it fast.. but make sure you check the expire date also. some product are sold half-price cos it will xpire less than 8 mth to clear the stock. but its a good bargain considering you need only a month or 2 to consume a 5lb whey protein.
anyway, anybody know wher to buy ON shaker bottle?
Ah that is especially true with Weider products. Sometimes you see products going at 65% off their normal price. The expiry date is usually 3 months or so away. I guess it’s fine if you consume them all by the last day.
As for shakers, I particularly like the one from GNC (the ones with a blue cover). It doesnt leak one bit when you shake your stuff in it. I’ve been using it for over 3 years and it hasnt deteriorated at all.
Sorry for not answering your question, but I think you could get ON Shakers from most stores. I saw EGO retailing them too
thanks so much for the info sandman!
i’ll give EGO a phone call right away for the shaker…
yahoo!
whats up guys?been reading evryone comments,and its very inspiring for me..as u all can see,im new in this body building thing,in fact im only 21 years old.and just want to know whats the best way to stack protein and creatine?is it pre workpout or post workout?..cos been reading mens health mag alot and with all the info, im kinda confuse rite now..went to ego shop in subang parade and its cool man,the best supplement shop ever….why dont ego open in kuching,sarawak?im from kuching and they got GNC shop and u guys know la,GNC is very expensive for us there.u guys should consider opening one shop in kuching and maybe even open up a proper gym like true fitness or fitness first..kuching is a big city with lots of people but theres no proper gym offering affordable price with proper working facilities.
hello Rodik,
welcome to bodybuilding world bro.. me also from Kuching, Swak.
GNCs are quite expensive, tats why u join their membership so that u get rm60-rm130 discount. u only pay rm30 only once for a lifetime membership, then u will get the priviledge too. example: i bought ON 100% whey gold 5lb, the retail price is rm250. i used my membership card n bought it at rm190 only.
EGos membership are more xpensive. u pay rm100 for a membership, or spent more than rm1000 from their store to become VIB automatically, then annually gotta pay some more, which in turn GNC have better bargain. but EGO have better choice of supplements.
as for your question, what is the best stack? i’d read alot bout stacking for bulking or lean muscle mass, either if your target is bulking, u gotta eat alot of calories. but there’s a danger of becoming fat if you’re not planning your daily intake wisely.
ok, after i do abit of research, which i read from successful people who’d gained muscle mass and burned fat at the same time. here’s the list:
STACK A:
1. ON 100% Whey Gold (for fast-protein action)
2. ON 100% Casein (for slow-digestive action)
3. MRI NO2 Black (pre-workout fuel)
4. Animal PAK (multi-vitamins)
5. Animal Test (Testosterone booster, for ppl age 30 above. teenagers don’t have to consume it)
6. Lipo 6X (superior fat-burning machine)
STACK B:
1. ON 100% Whey Gold (daily protein)
2. Cytosport Muscle milk (bedtime)
3. Scivation Extend (pre, intra-workout, for energy boost)
4. Hydroxicut Hardcore Muscletech
5. all ISO product
STACK 3:
1. Ultimate Nutrition Muscle Juice (mega protein n carb)
2. BSN NO-Xplode (intra- workout napalm power)
3. Cytogenix CytoNOx (pre workout)
4. Cytogenix CytoCELL (post)
5. Cytogenix Xenadrine RFA-X (fat burning legend)
6. Ultimate Nutrition Creatine Monohidrate (recovery)
STACK D: (if u are rich)
1. MuscleTech Nitro-Tech Hardcore (protein mutant, daily feed between meal)
2. MuscleTech NanoVapor (pre-workout dragon)
3. Gaspari Super-Pump250 (insane intra-workout juice)
4. MuscleTech Cell-Tech Hardcore ( creatine shot)
5. MuscleTech Anabolic Halo (cryogenic phantom)
6. Lipo 6 Black (fat burn)
what bout u guys? any other better stacking?
barrmetal: Are you sure? In my opinion - stack D looks like a recipe for a HEART ATTACK. All those stimulants, compounded over eachother. Bad stack. I’d suggest you follow the supplement manufacturer’s recommendations - they usually have their own stacks that they recommend. Better safe than sorry!
thanks for the info guys!!gonnna start build muscle,haha..

I’m a 25 year old female and I weigh 40kg. 40kg!! OMG this is so frustrating.
I have long arms to me being 40kg really shows on my skinny skinny arms.
I want to gain weight so badly coz I wanna join the airlines and I have been rejected so many times on the reason that I’m too thin and weigh too light.
I don’t care if it’s fat or muscle I gain. I have just starting working out in the gym, hoping to gain some muscle.
Can anyone suggest something? I have a really good appetiate so please dont ask me to eat more coz I cant stuff anything more in my mouth.
Please help, please help. Thank you.

bro.. i bought serious mass at GNC Kuching only RM240… if yours were RM220 then plus shipping, the price wud be the same :)
to ary,
ther is ways to gain weight. apparently yr body have strong metabolism that burns off all yr calories fast evrytime u consume any food. in order to gain weight u have to take more calory than u can burn, but eating anything without any proper diet plan will lead to heart attack/diabetes…etc. believe me, if u wanna gain weight u shud not gain fat, otherwise once yre gettin fat yre gonna have a hard time slimmin again later..
“How to gain weight and be Healthy”
yr food intake tips:
1. evrytime u eat, don’t eat junk food (processed food). eat healthy food like chicken breast, fish, nut, fruit, vegetable, rice
2. don’t eat fruit after meal, it will create gasses n lead to bloated stomach, which in this case distrupt the normal function for our stomach to digest food.. eat fruit on an empty stomach.
3. u wont gain weight by eatin big meal 3 times per-day. it may be easier to eat 5 or 6 smaller balanced meals per day rather than eatin 3 large meals, especially if yre not used to eatin much. the eating time must be consistent at all time..(eg: eat at 7am, 10am, 1pm, 4pm, 8pm)
4. take some bio-protein powder or nutrition supplements between meals. (eg: consume at 9am, 3pm, 10pm)
5. drink water 30min after your meal. only drink abit of water only if yre choking while eating.. at least on yr body size u shud consume at least 2 litre of water daily.
….discipline is essential. avoid eating big meal at one time. small meal is good enuf. this method is quite challenging to follow. once u get the hang of it yre gonna be fine.
on training tips (this require consistency n disciplines):
1. divide yr training regime, dont mix-up yr weight training evrytime u set foot on gym. eg:
Monday
- warm-up, cardio 30min, train yr arm (bicep n tricep), use light dumbbell curl, slow movemt, 6 set each (10-30reps)
Tuesday
- train yr legs. do lunges, squat, extension, leg curl (adjust yr weight frm light-moderate heavy depend on yr strength)
Wednesday
- warm-up n do stretches, cardio only, 30-45min.
Thursday
- back workout. as usual 1st do warm-up, cardio 15-30min. then proceed to push-up (2 set), rowing, lateral raise.
Friday
- shoulder. use dumbbel only, lightweight. slow movemt
…i cant write evryth here, the story wud be too long. try n go to this website, a place wher all the stories of successful women in bodybuilding. u’ll get the picture ya..
http://www.nicolewilkins.com/clients.shtml
Be Happy! :)
Dear barrmetal,
Thank you so much for the info and tips. I have already gained 1kg since hitting the gym and I’m really excited. Gonna keep on at it till I reach 47kg. That’s the weight I’m aiming for.
for women in bodybuilding, read here:
http://www.changingshape.com/resources/articles/weight-lifting-for-women.asp
tats great ary… keep up da good work.
weight-training have no shortcut, n it takes at least 6mth to 1year for good result.. u gotta set yr mind to reach yr goal by discipline yrself evrytime u set foot in the gym..
like wad ppl say, we better start now, its now or never..
:)
ary: Basically, just ensure you train hard at the gym. Most women make the mistake of lifting really light weights that are almost no use at all - so challenge yourself! You need to be lifting weights that cause you to fatigue around 8 to 10 reps.
Once you’ve got that sorted, more importantly than your workouts are what you eat. Eat good foods, not junk. It doesn’t matter when you eat your fruits - with or without a meal. Your goal is to consume plenty of healthy calories - so think of drinking milk (full cream) between your meals since you say you can’t eat any more.
barrmetal: those are some great tips! and thanks for helping out!
no prob dailymuscle :).
glad tat i can be at help.. this is a good site to share knowledge, i thank u to dailymuscle for setting up this important site, mainly for us to share all kind of knowledge based on bodybuilding..
