Are they letting you buy multiple boxes at a time or are you only getting one per visit?

The guy at one shop will let me buy multiples, but only getting 1 box a day of cookie dough as to not be a dick.

The other shop a block away in the mall only allows one, and seemed upset I came back the next day for another. Just sticking with the first shop now.

Depends on the staff it seems.

She played your guitar string?

Quite literally well, literally strumming my figuratively guitar string, she was strumming it.

Is that even a sentence? lol.

I have a couple GNC's within 2 miles of me, so I'm good. I'll go back and forth, most likely.

 

[abuC]

Day off from the gym, gonna do some pullups, pushups and push my car.


Damn Petrie, you're like the Pablo Escobar of the quest bar game.

 

[blackflag]

We have a ton of GNC in Phoenix. Gonna hit them all up this weekend but I've never seen cookie dough at ours

What exercises would you all suggest to be able to pick up a girl as displayed below in the picture? Whenever I do this with women who are anything other than skinny, I have to pretend like I could go on forever while I'm really struggling after carrying her more than a two or three minutes. What exercises could I do to improve my strength there in order to be at ease the next time I am called upon to do this?

A zercher weighted sandbag carry.

Well there's your problem, drop her as soon as the photo op is over, maintain the element of surprise.

I live in Glendale, they have cookie dough at the one on 59th ave and the 101

Well in their defense, they likely are losing money on every one of my purchases. I imagine they pay more than $12 a box for the things.

Damn Petrie, you're like the Pablo Escobar of the quest bar game.

I'll post some pics of my protein and creatine stockpile and then you'll see a true drug-lord!

Damn, I used to live on 56th and Peoria but that was many years ago. Too far away now. I've only checked the one near me in Awahtukee. Maybe they were just sold out. I'm sure if Glendale has them, the others here do as well. Thanks for confirming.

How is that your problem?

 

[CrankyJay]

Compare them to Clif Builder's because I've eaten my weight in those.

More dense than Clif's...no rice crisp texture either. No chocolate coating...way less sugar.

Get Quest if you want to be less all these things, but stick with Clif if you're okay with 15+g of sugar.

The other, and possible best thing about Quest is the high quality fiber.

Just bought another box (pbj this time). The race is on, Petrie.

Annnnd passed! My fiancé just texted me she got two boxes

Your move, Petrie.

 

[FallingEdge]

That shit is incredible.

I know right? Michael Elgin is incredible.

Oh it's on!

Unfortunately my gf doesn't share my enthusiasm for such things.

How is that your problem?

It absolutely isn't, but I understand why the manager cares, it's the regular employees who don't give a shit, and asked where I got he coupon since it trashes their employee discount.

 

[TheDarkStark]

For all you Quest bar fiends, how many do you guys eat a day?

I've been eating 3 Cookie Dough bars a day and I honestly have to stop myself from eating more, could probably down a whole box, they're so damn good.

Wrasslegaf is in charge of FallingEdge's cheat meal day.

This is gonna be good.

2-3 a day now, but likely cut down when the novelty of the deal wears off.

3-4. I've had crazy days where I go 6+, once ate a whole box. But on average 3-4.

Did you shit your brains out? 216g of fiber .... LOL

Good god I couldn't imagine the toilet if you ate 12.

 

[PBY]

It actually wasn't bad at all, nothing out of the usual. Trust me, I was both shocked and worried but it was fine. Conversely sometimes after 1-2, I feel it. So strange.

 

[SeanR1221]

Who on Fitgaf can do this?

[haunted_taco]

any suggestions on how I can get the box deal at GNC?

I didn't see any other quest bars then the ones right off the counter which are unsealed boxes that I could not get to ring up for less than the price of individual bars?

I'm gonna try going by again after work, that PBJ just sounds too damn good. Got a box of choc chip cookie dough yesterday but I paid $23 after the coupon.

 

[nilbog21]

what the hell are these Quest Bars? is someone on these boards working for them? :3

20g per protein bar doesn't seem worth it to me (for the price)

hm, although with the coupon it would be 1$ / 20g protein .. hmmm

 

[PBY]

It's shocking lol- they are really the only protein bar that cuts all the unnecessary shit, so they get recognition they deserve. I wish MetRX or any other company would copy them.

 

[nilbog21]

does anyone here drink the metrx chocolate protein shakes?

I salute you and your dedication to body building. Very impressive. Tastes like straight up muddy sewage water. What am I going to do with this product...

 

[Cudder]

For those interested, Quest Bars now ship to Canada on their official site, but the prices are pretty outrageous. 16$ shipping to my address will cost $41 per box..lol.

I'll wait until BB.com gets the cookie dough flavour.

Whey protein isolate - Most bars use Soy
no sugar - Most bar has tons of them
High in fiber - Most bars, none or hardly any
Taste awesome - most bars are groce

that's all you need to know. I've been pimping them since before they were ever sold in any stores, couple years now, but they never paid me. Wish they would, I'm just glad they are easier to get now.

 

[SeanR1221]

My last name is Quest.

 

[blackflag]

They did give me some free boxes for testing their new cravings stuff.

The cups are ok but honestly I'd never order them. I much prefer the bars.

I wouldn't think it's just biceps, I figure there is some back involved. suggestions?

Well, I've picked up my wife quite a few times like this. My wife has a bit of meat on her.

You need a strong core, especially the lower back. Biceps will help, but strong forearms will also reduce the overall stress. You might also need to develop your hip drive motion. In the case of my wife, she basically stood prone and I have to lift her up.

It would be much easier if she would just hop into my arms, but noooo. She wants me to sweep her off her feet.

Prior to me, she told me that no one has ever picked her up. I guess we were meant to be.

 

[Deleted member 47027]

The happy couple. Lookin good brah.

 

[Szu]

The happy couple. Lookin good brah.

Thanks. My future goal is get my wife to pick me up.

 

[Imm0rt4l]

I guess I'm gonna go to gnc and if the hype is real. Never had a bar.

My last name is Quest.

I've part taken of the Quest.

It's time to continue the journey. To return to the Quest For Szu.

While 90% of your statement I agree with, the bold I do not.

Every 20gram protein bar I've had tastes better than Quest. (Had 6 types, including Quest.)
Quest is the "real" bar, so it shouldn't taste that great. (If you follow the rule about bad tasting stuff often means it's good for you.)

Thanks, GAF, for leading me to GNC to try the almighty and famed Quest bar

Short post, gotta go in a minutes. I've tried like 7 flavors so far, the best is Peanut Butter Supreme and the Vanilla Almond one.

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

Who on Fitgaf can do this?

Attach electrodes to your body?

Not sure what you're asking bud.

 

[kevo_huevo]

ahh..just made my own assorted box of quest bars: cinnamon roll, apple pie, banana nut muffin and cookie dough.

I'll probably restock next week lol

Weighted vest arrived. Damn thing looks like a bomb vest. This might get a little sketchy.

How much weight?

 

[Brolic Gaoler]

How much weight?

75lbs. Has two pieces both can be worn solo. 50lbs on one 25lbs on other.

 

[Pavaloo]

Gahh, failed the very last rep of my squats! It wouldn't be so bad, but the bar ended up hitting my back really hard on the way down and I couldn't do the rest of my work out. Now my legs are feeling great, but my upper back is all red and sore, my body feels so weird. Bleh, injuries suck

Spoiler

dick.

Another day. Another chance to make it right. Shred it next time, you'll hit it harder than ever!

Gentlemen, this is NOT what your deadlift should look like.

I bet he ignores leg day too.

Speaking of back. I need alternate Ab workouts. The ab machines feel like deathtraps to me. I hate them. I always feel like I am either pulling something or not getting a good work out.
