Ryno ..........
The Shop
You want carbs: bag of pasta cost literally nothing
You want pre-workout: 3 scoops instant coffee and take a shit before you hit the bench bro
The supplement industry is a multi billion dollar con job.
If it's legal it's probably rubbish.
If it comes in a 10ml vial from the Balkans.... Do as the balkans do
Put on ~12kgs of muscle and about 2 kgs of fat since starting to lift, haven't needed any supplements / protein powders / preworkouts / test boosters / 4 arm strong spray / name your BS.
Food > shit tasting shakes.
About the only supplement with decent literature to back up its use is creatine: https://examine.com/supplements/Creatine/
Even then, the effect is not noticeable to you when you're taking it, just evident from data.
I agree with you though nothing competes with real food.
For convenience, mixing 2 scoops with some water and gulping it down beats the shit out of grilling some chicken breast.
Find yourself a good protein to make shakes, mix in some greens and regular meals and you'll be good to go. Power butter is great if you like the taste of peanut butter.
Main thing I've learned is every protein/brand is unique to each person. Of course some are different but any legitimate brand is good, it's all on you. I'd give Ryno power a shot if your curious, I thought about trying it eventually myself.
My experience is yes it's worth it!
Look at it like this, if your a dirt bike racer then follow a fellow racers program because he has perfected that program or like ryno developed something that racers needed. Hammer is cyclist, sucking on bags threw out a ride and a bottle always on hand. We don't get that as racers, we need everything before we get on the track.

I am a big fan of Ryno Power. I was never a believer in supplements in the past, no matter what sport I was training for. I had more of the "eat chicken and eggs and drink chocolate milk" mentality. I think I had that mentality strictly because it was difficult to find good, consistent information regarding products and their benefits. I'm not one to buy into the voodoo marketing schemes and in general, I fall closer to the more side of the skeptical scale. Simply put, it was easier to write supplements off than it was to learn about them. After following Ryno on instagram and attending a riding school and chatting with him more, I started to realize how much this guy lives what he preaches. He's truly very well educated and experienced when it comes to taking care of his body. That opened up my mind to the idea of supplementing my training.
I bought some of the protein and really liked it. Tasted great, knew it wasn't full of random crap, and appreciated the easy boost to my protein intake post workout. I didn't replace real food with it but actually supplemented my diet. I'd just make a shake to enjoy with my eggs in the morning and still have meat for dinner. I've since added the hydration fuel (way less sugar than gatorade) and gladiator pre-workout to my workouts and track days. I have tried all the capsules and whatnot and didn't notice much impact. At the end of the day, I've learned that the protein, hydration fuel, and gladiator are what works for me.
I think at the end of the day, the best thing you can do is to try and gather information yourself instead of from a marketing campaign, then just try a few things and figure out which works for you.
Just to be clear, I bought the product, liked it, then pursued a sponsorship with them since I knew I wanted that product to be a part of my program. I am that way with every sponsor I have. I don't promote companies that I don't believe in because I want to be honest with my opinions/reviews.

Like Rocky Balboa, I just eat lightning and crap thunder.
Works for me.
BTW: if you have to take supplements in order to gain weight, I hate you.
