I use #5 on the list of the top 5: http://www.proteinpowder.net/

ON Casein is good and I also get their Gold Standard, which is a faster acting powder. I'll drink a Casein during the day and also right before bed.

WOZA!!!!!!!!!!! Its a $1.20 and ounce

[Igifuno]

Hell yea.. can't stand GNC.. I usually get it on line or from Vitamin Shoppe. You shoud be able to save a couple bucks on Amazon as well

[SEOINAGE]

Forget all that. I buy bulk whey. That way I don't have any other stupid additives and sweeteners.

[Dpyle]

I've been using muscle tech whey protien plus from sams club. Decent profile and you get a 5lb bag for 35 bucks.

Serving size is 32 g, 20g pro, 9g carb, 1 gram fat

Plus it has an added amino complex.

[oatmeal69]

The Dymatyze is half that - you can get it for $80 / 10LBS shipped.

Dont waste your money on myofusion or syntha 6....these taste good but they are crapy quality with good advertising! Get something that is new zealand whey and uses stevia as a sweetner...worry about quality over taste because what you put in your body is the most important! If your whey protein has more then 8-10 ingredients then steer clear! If you can get pure protein with nothing added in this is best and often much cheaper! I use this and ass fruit or w.e to it post workout.

i buy the cheap shit at walmart body fortress

Anything you recommend? I seem to have all the shitty proteins

Yea I got that part..but which one Is that besides that $80 crap?

[awms]

haha yeah man just buy plain whey protein....and if you want it sweet add fruit post workout or stevia for a natual sweetner. The large companies are not in business to make you healthy they are in it to make money so all they care about is putting in the cheapest ingredients that make them the most money...then they spin it to make the protein sounds amazing! Look for something 100% natural and your body will reward you for it! I use to use a lot of sweetners and now I stick to stevia for the most part and notice a big difference!

I worked for a supplement store for 4 years and most of the reps I met were worse then used car sales men lol They would spew all the amazing stuff about their product but at the end of the day the best stuff I have used (and I have tried it all) was good old plain whey protein! the cleaner the better!

Same here, I'd rather spend my money on steroids and GH than overpriced over-advertised shlt. I used to get all my protein from trueprotein.com but I can't tell a difference in any brand I've ever taken other than taste.

[oatmeal69]

Where does one acquire plain whey protein?

[jasc]

TrueNutrition (used to be TrueProtein) is pretty awesome.. you can design your own custom protein mix

[Times Roman]

protein is a fungible

instead, you should be focusing on the protein type that will give you the biggest bang for your buck.

for example, i've decided to only consume whey isolate. expensive? yes. cheapest i've found is $7.50/lb delivered. last batch i ordered offf the internet ran me, including shipping, $15/lb.

i don't think it really matters which "brand" of whey isolate you go with, because at this point, if you want 100% whey isolate, then seek the lowest $/lb.

[songdog]

I am lazy I go to GNC or Wal Mart in a pinch.

Have you checked out Vitamin Shoppe (brick and mortar)?

larger building, better selection, better prices than GNC

...just a thought

[AlphaGenetics]

Me too haha. Ive come to believe protien powder is overrated.

Exactly. I can get Dymatize Whey Islolate for $.44/ounce. or $70 for 10 LBS.
The only factor that matters is what it is (example: whey isolate), and how pure it is. Take the protein amount per serving amount and divide it by the total serving size. That gives you it's purity. Then you can figure out the best deal on what you're getting.

for some people, whey protien gives them gas. through experimentation, i've finally discovered, for me, that when i only use whey isolate, no more farts. my son is the same way. yeah, a little more expensive, but ripping a fart every 3 to 5 minutes gets a little old

[oatmeal69]

Isolate is the only thing I'll use as well.

[SEOINAGE]

Yeah, and you can get all kinds of protein types and bunch of different things. They used to have 25 lbs of protein priced at 100 bucks. little more now, but still is a good place to pick it up. And they have different concentrates and isolates etc to choose from, even beef protein isolate and hemp protein.

[< <Samson> >]

I say Muscle Milk. . . At least for me, since it was free.

I have about 40 Pounds on hand.

Tastes good too. . . . . .

Oh fvck yeah, that shit is just plain nasty.

Where can I get some of this ass fruit you speak of?

Sorry I had to do it, I know what you meant though. Ultimate nutritions protein isolate is really cheap. Even at gnc. 2lbqs for $24. 57 servings, 24 grams pet scoop, 20 of which is isolate.

[DeadlyD]

Sytha 6 for taste
Myo fusion for effectiveness

^^^^ agree .. Syn 6 tastes great!! But very expensive! Myofusion is what I use now cause GNC has it on hot buy ! 5lbs for $40, I bought 6! Good thing it tastes good too.

[Schmidty]

i go to sams and get 5or10lbs for 30 and its muscletech i think. let me get my fat ass up and check...

[Schmidty]

yeah its a big bag from muscle tech. fvck it as long as a have whey... i only use it if i cant stand the thought of choking down a can of tuna when i run out of grilled chickenand that hardly ever happens, and pwo of course

[AD]

other than taste, do you guys worry about how the powder dissolves? i know ON powders dissolves really well, just stir with a spoon and its done. some other brands may need a shaker bottle with the steel ball or even a blender.

[auswest]

Food.
But a close second myofusion and syntha 6. Could go for something cheaper. But not really saving that much and at least it tastes good and mix's easily.. I drink mine with water and they still taste great as if I'm using milk almost.

[jasc]

Been usin ON for years.. I use the Natural Whey - choc.. takes a min to get use to the bitter-ish taste, not as good as the regular Gold Standard in terms of taste, but the benefit of none of that fake sh*t makes it great. Mixes very easily.

I also use the ON Casein - choc. cake batter.. tastes awesome.. The trick is making the shake with hot water and it works great.. Cold water makes it too clumpy. Lookin forward to trying the new Natural version.

Also tried the Dymatize this last time.. Best taste so far! n they use stevia, so again, none of those artificial sweetners. Mixes with little to no effort.
