    Thumbs up ON whey gold standard question

    Ok yesterday i went to the pro shop to buy another 10 pound bag of ON whey gold standard.

    The guy start telling me that he doesn't like mix products and says that it would be better for me to buy Glutamine and BCAA seperatly to make my own mix, he says that many studies have been made saying that ON whey gold standard doesn't provid what is said on the label around 5gm of Glutamine per serving along with 5.5gm of BCAA.

    Also that there are better whey protein brands then ON and he doesn't like ON at all.

    I doubt that this would be true, i usually take 3 shakes a day, one in the morning, after training and before bed, around 4 scoops a day.

    But he says that BCAA is always good to take in extra for muscle mass and recovery has is glutamine.

    Now my intake a day for 4 scoops is 96gm of whey protein, 20gm of glutamine and 22gm of BCAA which seems enough for me.

    One scoop in the morning, 2 scoops in my PWO and 1 scoop before bedtime.

    I am 37, 5 feet 10 and around 212 pounds.

    I am also using Animal Pump before training, that has the required amount of creatine for a day, but he tells me that it would be better to have another creatine supplement for my PWO shake.

    Now does any of this make sense? thanks guys

    Theres nothing wrong with ON...

    A good rule of thumb that I've used all my life is to not take advise from people who stand to gain from it.

    I like that rule.

    ON puts out a quality product. If you're really that concerned I'm sure you can have it tested?

    I laugh when the 17 year old punk at GNC is telling me what I should be taking, I use ON casein protein every day before bed and feel it is a very good product.

    No reason to give it up, dude. ON has a great and dependable product line. Their prices are reasonable without sacrificing quality, for me it's the best deal...I mean there's cheaper stuff out there, but it either tastes like garbage, doesnt mix well or gets me bloated...or all 3.

    Supplement store guys are like drug dealers...you can't trust them.

    Yeah well that guy was really trying to suck me in good, either way i am going to buy my future supplements off the internet, much cheaper even with the shipping cost included.

    Plus coming from Canada i rather have the US brand everything, the product is higher in quality then the Canadian product sold here.

    To get a 10 pound ON Whey Gold Standard right now its 79$ US with shipping and exchange i pay 109$ and even save because at the pro shop its 129$ here.
