Ouchy Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 I want to go on Protein shakes, but my parents won't let me...Instead I get it from things like tuna and nuts. No where near as much protein... My relaxation method involves a bottle of lotion, beautiful women, and partial nudity. Yes I get massages.

Faux Posted February 2, 2010 Author Share Posted February 2, 2010 sorry you failed to understand, i'm talking about whey protein :: Guess the Movie Contest Champion: pfilc23 :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
assassin_696 Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 I use Optimum Health Ultimate Whey, seems to be the best value. Used to get vanilla flavour, but I prefer banana now. "Da mihi castitatem et continentam, sed noli modo" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobgoblinpie Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 I use Maximuscle Cyclone. While it isn't 100% whey, I prefer it over the other brands. Not cheap though. 1.2kg for £45~ on the high street, can get it for £30 online though. POH Agility Course, Please Support! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastortoise Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 I've decided to start taking supplements in shake form. My friends and I noticed we're already plateau-ing and we aren't advancing as much as we used to, so bring on the protein :mrgreen: I'll probably start with something whey based, it's what most people I know recommend.

Faux Posted February 3, 2010 Author Share Posted February 3, 2010 after i finish this tub, im either going back to ON or try out dymatize :: Guess the Movie Contest Champion: pfilc23 :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
depresins Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 sorry you failed to understand, i'm talking about whey protein I'm sorry you failed to clarify in your OP that the topic was ONLY about whey based protein sources and not about what we buy to get our protein. When I'm provided with protein supplements it is some form of whey protein hydrolysate that tastes like rubbish but it allegedly has the best bioavailability of the lot.

It's super expensive though.Yeah, after this tub is done I'm going shopping for the most dirt cheap protein powder out there. My tub is gonna last surprisingly long though - it says it has only 10 servings but that only counts if you use 150g per serving, which I don't, and I only have a shake after my workouts, not 3 times a day. So maybe I'll stick with the Cyto if I like the results, after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebdragon Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Just my perspective, but I put on the most muscle mass during times when I just ate a lot. All this whey protein roid stuff never really did anything.

Myweponsg00d Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 I have tried protein from Trader Joes, Costco, etc. None are good. I also tried the GNC ones: both the regular and the "wheyabolic". The best, by far, is Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard. It has the best aminos, and the price is great for the ammount of protein + other stuff they pack in there. Every flavor I have had was amazing. Right now I have a tub of the "vanilla ice cream" flavor. It is way better than vanilla alone. I have also had banana, strawberry, and cookies and cream. They are all grand. Need assistance in any of these skills? PM me in game, my private chat is always ON Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faux Posted March 20, 2010 Author Share Posted March 20, 2010 yeah ON is like $10 more than the typical shake, but it is so worth it just for the taste/texture i regret buying some cheap one :: Guess the Movie Contest Champion: pfilc23 :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeptical Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I just use whatever was on sale at Costco. Taste doesn't matter much to me because I generally make shakes with berries, coconut, etc....
