Shop bundles built around a clear goal

Who it's for

Anyone starting out who wants the two supplements with real evidence behind them, not a shelf full of guesses.

Why these products

Creatine helps you get an extra rep or two, session after session. Whey isolate tops up your protein when food falls short. No invented synergy, just the two best supported supplements you can buy.

• Creatine, 3 to 5 g daily, any time
• Protein on the days food falls short
• Two brands, picked on merit

The honest note

Creatine takes a few weeks before you'd notice anything, so judge it in month two. You don't need to load it and you don't need to cycle off it.

Who it's for

People who train hard and want to put on size. If the scales haven't moved in months, the bottleneck is calories.

Why these products

Whey covers the protein. Cream of rice is cheap, fast calories you can actually get down. Creatine improves the training that drives it.

• Protein for the raw material
• Carbs for the calories and muscle fuel
• Creatine for training quality

The honest note

Carbs don't drive protein into your muscle, whatever you've read. They're there for the calories. And supplements make a surplus easier to reach, they don't create one.

Who it's for

Anyone skipping dairy, whether that's a choice or because whey doesn't sit well.

Why these products

Same two jobs as our beginner pair, without the milk. Plant protein covers your daily target, creatine improves your training. Creatine monohydrate isn't animal derived, so it fits a vegan diet without qualification.

• Plant protein for your daily total
• Creatine, 3 to 5 g daily
• No dairy in either

The honest note

Plant proteins vary more than whey does, so blends generally do better than single sources. If bloating's what brought you here, a whey isolate has far less lactose than a concentrate, and that solves it for a lot of people.

Who it's for

People who want a lift before training without going to the extreme end of the category.

Why these products

One before, one after. Basic PRE gives you caffeine and citrulline for the session, protein covers the rest of your day.

• 200 mg caffeine, about two coffees
• No beta-alanine, so no tingling
• Protein afterwards or whenever it fits

The honest note

Most of what a pre-workout does, caffeine does. It also contains 1.5 g of creatine, so if you take creatine separately, count it toward your 3 to 5 g rather than on top.

Who it's for

Long sessions, two-a-days, Hyrox, boxing and martial arts. Anyone who runs out of fuel before they run out of session.

Why these products

Fuel and fluid are the two things a long session actually depletes, and both go down easier as a drink while you're working.

• Carbs during or straight after training
• Electrolytes through the session
• No interaction with anything else you take

The honest note

Carbs around training earn their place when sessions are long or close together. For one moderate session a day with normal meals, food does this job perfectly well.

Who it's for

Outdoor work, hot days and heavy sweating. Built for a Perth summer rather than an air-conditioned gym.

Why these products

Sodium does most of the work in rehydration. Two brands and a spread of flavours, because the main reason people stop drinking electrolytes is getting sick of the taste.

• Sodium first, which is the one that counts
• A spread of flavours across two brands
• Drink through the day, not just at training

The honest note

If you're indoors for under an hour, water's fine. On a roof in February, this is one of the few things in the shop that makes a same-day difference.

Who it's for

Anyone who keeps missing meals because there's no time to cook. Work bag, gym bag, glovebox.

Why these products

Real protein and real fibre in something you can eat in the car. Pick your own flavours across both brands.

• Around 22 g protein per bar
• Around 25 g fibre in the Fibre Boost bars
• Whey-based and plant-based options

The honest note

That fibre number's high, and most Australians don't get enough. If your usual diet is low in fibre, start with half a bar and build up, or you'll feel it.

Who it's for

People chasing the pump on training days, with the daily basics alongside it.

Why these products

Arginine's a nitric oxide precursor, which is what widens blood vessels during a session. Protein and creatine are the everyday pair underneath it.

• Arginine on training days
• Protein for your daily total
• Creatine 3 to 5 g daily

The honest note

Start with a smaller dose of the arginine and see how you go, since larger amounts can upset your stomach. Creatine and protein are the two doing the long-term work here.
