Protein Powders... yeah yeah i know

[Marlo Stanfield]

this subject has been beat to death (wes post the pic of a dead horse being beat to death)..

Whats your favorite protein poweder? what do you think is the best one out there?

price iss not an issue, but carbs and sugars are. i want max 5g of carbs per serving. i've tried alot over the past 2-3 years, so far BSN Syntha-6 IMO has the best taste,quality... whats the verdict nowadays? whats the best?

my last order was :

1)MusclePharm  Chocolate Peanut Butter http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/musclepharm/combat.html?_requestid=2480940) 

Taste was OK, i guess the quality was good... didnt care too much for the taste, but wasnt chalk taste either

2)Gaspari Nutrition Myfusion (http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/gn/myofusion.html?_requestid=2481535)

overll average IMO

3) BSN Syntha6: (http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/bsn/synth.html?_requestid=2482153)

always one of my faves... but still open to trying out others


one time i also tried a musclemilk version with very low carbs, and i really liked it, but i cant find that low carb version anymore..

what do you guys use nowadays?  And spare me the speech of real food is better than shakes etc... i travel alot and i mostly have these on 10 hour flights, hotels etc...

only reason i drink a protein drink is when i'm cutting and don't want the extra calories from flesh food - that actually tastes good because i'm not eating a plain chicken breast.

i make my own, incorporating just the aminos that the body uses for anabolism while discarding the rest. wouldn't bother drinking whey anymore since it's too expensive and i don't think anyone on gear needs more than 150g protein which is easy to hit by just eating normally.

i drink it straight from the tap

and thats cheaper ? how do you get all the aminos? or do you just use BCAA powder?

does a fellow gym buddy tell you to close your eyes and suck the protein shake out of a hose ?

Myprotein.co.uk Impact Whey Isolate - haven't used anything else in years.

first i thought this gh15 fella wa out of his mind with his powder hate

but now, after stopping whey isolate for two or three month to give his claims a chance, after using supps  it for 15 yrs straight, i have admit he was 100% right

first i "just" felt better
 
than i got leaner (water and fat)

Than i got stronger

and then, not beliving in my feelings 100% i got a blood test done:

SHGB and estrogen levels are 1/3 lower than before

i have no idea what is the biological reason,, maybe humans are not made for taking 50gramms of free amino acids just to pis it out 30min later  

but supps aren t just waste of money, they hold bodybuilding sucess away from the people mislead from the industry

it s poison in a pretty bottle

[G_Thang]

Honestly, I think TrueProtein's mixes are the way to go. At least they aren't selling you 80% sugar like Gasp and the other snakes.

[LurkerNoMore]

I no longer use powders of any kind (protein, NOS, stim, creatine, etc..) but when I did I preferred to use Beverly.  That is some really good product there.

Not that I am PRO protein powder or anything, after I finish my last tubs I am pretty sure I am done but how do you know you simply didnt lower your SHGB and estrogen by losing some fat and water? I know losing fat and water lowers my estrogen...

[El Diablo Blanco]

I've mentioned this before, but a top 5 Olympian once told me the importance of steroids and proceeded to mention what a waste of money protein powders are.  Now this was in person, but to think of it. Was this really Gh15 I met?  It was 10 years ago.

well , i don t know exactly , but i didn t change anything except stopping whey isolate intake (100-150gramms daily)
and i improved

but originally you would expect to get worse after stopping the intake of supps

don t you

didn t happen

the opposite happened

so somethin HAS TO BE WRONG with suplements

they are more or less expensive, but don t help 

why take them, even the "i have to work lot and no time to cook"-argument doesn t count anymore
right now i have the feeling that in this case two bananas without extra protein is better than this powder shit

[Glass Gorilla]

I don't always drink protein shakes, but when I do I use EAS.

Seriously though, if you live near a Sam's Club they have 5lb bags of EAS protein powder for $30. Best deal around.

[hematocritter]

I know people don't like danta and sons, but his protein is the best out there.
I don't know why people have to be so black and white about powders vs no powders.
Somedays I have some shakes, some days I don't. It doesn't really matter.

[Natural Man]

why dont you send me your money directly if you dont know how to waste it.

"ok ok i know proteins powders are a useless scam...but what's your favorite brand? Myself i like trueshitbeastscienceramp agedrolone"

Fucking retards. What's wrong with you.

[Man of Steel]

As I understand it, protein powders are for sissies and sodomites. 

[oldtimer1]

I use isopure.  If it's not whey isolate my stomach goes sour. I just use 25g which is one scoop after a workout and one in the morning. I think any more than that is a waste. On a side note have you seen the price of protein powders today?  Pretty soon it will be cheaper to grill a t-bone steak.  It will taste a hell of lot better too.

Could get a simple, name brand, 10lb bag of protein at a Sam's or Costco for $18 a few years ago.  Today, same bag, pushing $40.   Demand is down as men are just giving their cash to drug dealers for chemicals and needles.

let me introduce you to someone who will be very interested to meet you....

[SF1900]

Just go to one of those bulk chain food stores and buy your protein from there. Its cheap. 30 bucks

[HTexan]

does a fellow gym buddy tell you to close your eyes and suck the protein shake out of a hose ? 

she must work out.

[Irongrip400]

[Mr. Magoo]
