I have been looking on internet sites looking to buy protein b/c I have run out and I want to try something new instead of the same old cheapest shit I can find stuff. So I want some suggestions. What kind of protein do ya'll use? Is there a significant difference between isolate and concentrate? Is Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Protein a quality protein??
 
I know I'm going to get slammed for this but I use....................

Nitrotech and yes I also use Celltech. Those who have never used it will always bash it, those that do use it tend to stick with it. You can find it for around $30 for a 2lb. tub. I drink two everyday and it tastes good in water and milk.
 
A lot of people feel you get what you pay for however I disagree with that... otherwise we would all be using Muscle Tech's stuff as it's the highest priced junk out there.

I used to use Optimum's big bags of protein and always thought it worked fine. Then for about the same price I started using "all the whey" just because they're a sponsor here and I figured for about the same price, why not. I use 1 tub of isolate and 1 tub of concentrate, take one big scoop of each normally or 2 regular scoops of each after a workout. I don't think I was alone in doing this as I see they've now come out with a concentrate/isolate blend. I actually like the taste and consistency a little better than Optimum.

MaxRep

P.S. when I say "junk" up above I'm not actually meaning MT's products are junk, as in no good. I mean that when taking price into account, it's way over priced, IMO.

I have tried those products and a few more from them. I don't use them because I really can't tell any difference other than in my wallet. They're not bad products but you're paying a lot more as you're also paying for all their ads and bodybuilders contracts.

I guess you could look at every purchase as a donation to your favorite muscle tech bodybuilder. :)

You did very well mixing the two, you do need different protiens at different times. MaxRep just gave you some very good advice with blending the two.
 
Madman, I'm just curious if you use a discounted supplement site for MT's products or do you pay full retail? And in either case, how much do you spend a month just for those 2 products?

I get one hell of a price break through my gym.

I was doing the same thing MaxRep. Mixed the isolate and concentrate with my shakes. Now I just buy the blend and you cannot beat the price on it that all the whey offers.
 
if you do decide on the ON whey, just get the double rich choclate flavor. the strawberry and vanilla suck in water, i kid you not! i been using the on double rich choclate for about a year now and tastes great even in water. if you add the dex post workout, u'll think your having a cheat meal.

i'll give op whey a big bump also, i pay $41 for ten pounds of double choc tastes pretty good,price is right, and its good protein if you need a slower digesting try something else, as op is better suited for morning, pre-workout post work-out with some dextrose.
 
Protein Factory- Night Formula before bed.
Pro-lab- Nlarge in the morning.
Zero Carb Isopure powder.

I like mixing 2 scoops of n/large with 1 scoop of Isopure

also I like 1 scoop of glycoload with 1 scoop of Isopure after a workout.

But you need to get real food I think eating out of a blender is a bad idea for trying to gain size. Just my 2cents.
 
toyoda , i was just wondering if throwing oatmeal bannanas eggs tuna supps veggies is considered eating out of a blender? sometimes i cant get to hot food due to work so i blend all types of diff things. some taste good some dont , some i gag down, its all in how dedicated you are i guess
 
I am presently using

Syntrax Nectar (WPI)....apple is delicious
Optimum nutrition 5 lb jugs...(WPC)...great price, decent quality
Syntrax Marix 5.0 (Blend)...just started it, taste awesome

i have tried various other proteins..i really did not care for All THE WHEY protein, it is a great deal, but the flavor changed from batch to batch..so i stopped ordering from them...before that i used to use GNC 100% whey which is terrible for pirce and quality...tried muslce milk i liked that but has a high saturated fat but does taste great...dorian yates propeptide was good but can't not mix with a spoon and is very thick when blended...ABB XXL...great for high cals taste decent...
 
i'm using EAS Myo Pro and Dymatize Nutrition (got it local pretty cheap) the Myo Pro isn't bad, but i'll never buy the dymatize again. i've got 4-2lb jugs of All The Whey coming next week. trying their vanilla, chocolate, orange and strawberry. they've got pretty good prices. you can buy isolate, iso/concentrate mixes, and unflavored. www.allthewhey.com
 
I love Biotests Low carb grow. The flavor is great, mixes good and is a blend including miceler casin. Good prices too, they sell it on their website for $23 a 2lb'er
