If you don't know what you're buying (having done research) prior to walking into a supplement store, you'll get fleeced every time.

As a precaution, I would advise you to also jerk off, just before the visit - as you are susceptible to posteriors, clouding your judgement.

Me, I'd be thinking, does this person train enough people to have witnessed a quantifiable increase in worth of this product?

There isn't,  protein is protein.

You don't need as much as they want you to think.

I buy a 5lb bag of Pure Protein at Costco and it lasts me forever.

you can buy expensive proteins that taste like a milkshake, but I really don't give a crap, I just chug it down and go on my way. As long as it isn't repugnant who cares....I'm not trying to savor the flavor of a protein drink.

also check the label on these products..a lot of companies now add "anabolic matrixes" and bullshit like that...and put creatine in your protein. creatine makes you hold water

That's dangerous! It's so easy to be swayed by a fine set of glutes!

Waste of money if you don't know what you're doing, watch out for paying more than what it's worth

tip for anyone looking to make their shake better without wanting to add many calories.

mix choc protein powder with coconut water. taste fucken great and gives it a better texture then just mixed with water.

I use the vita coco brand water. good shit. helps with cramps too.

CytoSport 100% Whey 6lb bag from costco is my brand of choice but any chocolate whey will do.

Yup, as long as it isn't some bullshit off-brand I never heard of, it's fine.

I buy the mid price one. not the garbage, and not the expensive overpriced one.

GNC Amplified blend is comparable to Optimum Nutrition performance whey but more expensive.

I suggest getting Optimum Nutrition 100% Gold whey protein.

Horrible deal then.....$12.67 / pound.   You can get many online deals for $8/lb or less, even for Optimum Gold Standard.

I grew up on it....and its the red not the black caviar....pound of red $69 high sodium though

I am frugal its just so rarely that I buy.....so the convenience factor.

But $20 for 3 lbs......really? Where and what brand.

I find the link on his page but Gasparis statement is gone on their site. Even when I directly go to Gasparis' site and click on news articles, I can find the article and click it, however it is blank. Not sure why that is.

Not sure who the ppl are who analyzed the protein but I think it was a great idea. Wish they had a sample of Syntha-6, pretty much all I use now.

yeah its beyond me how anyone in the world would prefer a protein shake to a nice piece of meat.

maybe the liquid protein is shuttled into the muscle faster during the anabolic wondows :D
