What brand of whey protein do you guys swear by? I read Juji's article about whey protein that he posted on the forum (for some reason it isn't stickied anymore?) and am curious as to which brands you trust. Or does the brand name not matter to you, as long as the main ingredient is hydrolyzed whey or whey isolate?

Don't do Muscle Milk, it tastes terrific but it will make you fat
Cheap and good taste, that's the thing. The difference isn't that big anyways.

Sorry to bump an old thread but it's better than making a new one and getting flamed for not searching...maybe :)
Anyway, I'm thinking of getting some whey but have no idea where or what brand to get. I can't seem to find any apart from on the net. Do any of you order online?
Also, how does this site look? http://monstersupplements.com/store/frontpage-lang-1.html Any there you would recommend?
BTW, I'm from the UK so any UK sites would be appreciated...lots :D
www.myprotein.co.uk/
PM Lobo for a discount code.
Yeah, go to this section: http://www.myprotein.co.uk/?page=online-price-matcher
Then enter "www.bulkpowders.co.uk" and that'll come up with the best deals for most of your staples. As Rahf said, you get 5% off your first offer if you use a discount code (e.g. mine: MP10234).
I have no bills to pay living at home so I spent all my cash on supplments and gyms. At the moment I got this lot...
http://a73.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/55/l_ac0b48483285137a3fa39ab26bbcda78.jpg
All that is about £113.
I love Maximuscle because I actually see results compared to another one I had that was way to sugary. They're Maximuscle products but I didn't pay the normal price for them that are shown on there website. http://www.maximuscle.com/ I got them from here instead http://www.creatinestore.co.uk/ they have loads of brands and cheaper.

Then you don't need to be using supplements yet. If you had a decent grasp of your diet, you'd understand the use of whey.

You got gipped.
I don't understand how or why you people spend so much money on supplements.

I lost 20lbs while using muscle milk.... but I was also dieting so idk :ogre:
I don't understand how or why you people spend so much money on supplements.
Yeah, and they still look only slightly better than average.
You got gipped.
How? I saved £10 on each item. Example I got two promaxs for £21 each they cost £31.99 in the shops and on the offical website, plus creatinestore does free delivery.
tight arse
Maximuscle products are massively overpriced and really nothing special.
£21-31 isn't over priced hence why I didn't have any reservations buying them at that price. I know alot of UK brands and shops sell mostly around these prices.
Not special but they do have biomax and creatine in them which is just a word they use for WHEY concentrate lol.
£21-31 isn't over priced
For less than a kilogram of whey powder? Of course it is, ha ha.
Not special but they do have biomax and creatine in them.
"Biomax" is basically a worthless marketing term, all companies make these up to sucker people that don't know anything about supplements (e.g. you).
Creatine is extremely cheap when bought in pure form. Supplement companies all buy from the same manufacturers, maybe add a "loading system" (sugar), put it in some slick packaging, add a load of marketing, then sell it at multiple times the original price to uneducated dipshits.

Now that is where it's at!
http://www.myprotein.co.uk/bulk-powders/protein-powders/
Sells a lot more than just protein too.
Creatinestore sell alot more than protein too hence the name :p Like I said I've tryed loads of other stuff and I must of not trained hard enough or took enough or eaten enough but with maximuscle I've noticed big changes so I'm very happy with it. That ok with you mothering me about how I spent my money?
Lobo I found your myspace lol. Didn't know you were german but I did know you love manga.
http://www.myspace.com/mangapower06
AJCN, basically there's no real difference between maximuscles products and other cheaper versions (in terms of gainers and protein). I reckon you're just more disciplined diet and restwise now. Try a cheaper variant when you run out of your current batch, the differences would mainly be in terms of flavour.
Creatine wise there can be differences in purity (Creapure being the "best" in this case). And as Lobo said, there can be the loading agent (carbs) and some even contain baking soda (or something similar to that).
Yeah, and some of you need to look into the actual difference between concentrate, isolate and hydrolysate when it comes to whey, rather than just assuming hydrolysate > isolate > concentrate, because that's not the case. Hydrolysate is only preferable around workouts, isolate is only really superior to concentrate if you're lactose intolerant or on some very low-carb diet. Isolate is slightly better than concentrate where money is no object, but for most people the lower price of concentrate means they can afford to use more of it, which ends up being a greater benefit in itself.
Just because a name brand has "hydrolysed" or "isolate" on the packaging doesn't mean much either, most of the time they use a combination of hydrolysate, isolate and concentrate - concentrate usually main constituent, which renders the marginal benefits of hydrolyate/isolate obsolete anyway.

Yeah, I understand that. I really should have phrased my question differently; I'm not really looking to get any now, I just want to generally find out stuff about it, such as brands etc.
Cheers anyway all :)
Yeah Rhaf is right about me there and I think I should say sorry to Lobo I feel I need to. I just wanted to defend what I bought and I hope you don't dislike me now because of it. That myspace, I know it wasn't you really, just making fun, sorry!
When this stuff runs out I'm going to go for the cheaper stuff, now I know. Oh well at least I can say I've tryed some of the Maximuscle range if only once.
Anyway where are we on this thread? Umm.. brands? Well PaRaSiTe x92 obviously knows what I have and think is good but not cheap. Other brands people want to share?
I don't have any international brands I'm afraid :sad:

It pays to make friends with your local butcher. When I was living in Dublin I used to get bags of 40 chicken fillets for around 15Euro, Im talking the good quality big fillets, so i used to bag them off into bags of 4 and freeze them. Id cook them up on the trusty George Forman grill in the mornings and snack on them throughout the day. He also sold boxes of 300+ eggs for around 10euro, If you boil up a load of these they keep well in the fridge for over a week and are perfect for some cheap protine after training. Just take them along in a bag de-shell them and bin the yoke, no need to bring shakers with expensive protine powders.

Sorry to re-bump this thread, but I'm looking for whey again.
How does this look? It's MyProtein's own brand. (http://www.myprotein.co.uk/bulk-powders/protein-powders/whey-protein-isolate-(euro)/) Over 90g protein per 100g. How does that look?
Yeah, it's fine, but I'd go for concentrate personally for the reasons I mentioned here (http://trickstutorials.com/forum/showpost.php?p=526911&postcount=30). And if you use the price matcher thing that I mentioned on page two of this thread you can get it cheaper than the listed price, although you won't get to select the additional flavourings/sweetners.
Edit: Also, always go for the European (EURO) whey over the New Zealand (NZ) stuff, simply because it tastes and mixes better. The NZ whey might be better in terms of grass-fed cattle and shite like that, but that's a trivial and unimportant detail unless you're rock_ten.

Cheers Lobo, very helpful. Looking up your post on page two now. But no flavourings? Meaning horrible taste?
Also, are sweeteners good?
*Checks* No, I'm not rock_ten. Meaning, I'll go for the EURO ones. :)
Problem is, I can't find much anywhere. Will keep Googling though. As I only workout in small amounts, I'll probably only use it pre or post workout, so would hydrolysed be best for me?
Cheers again.

What would you need the sweeteners for?
Hydrolysate (along with BCAAs, and Vitargo) would be technically superior, but at the end of the day it's not going to make a huge difference amongst the numerous other factors such as your diet, training, etc., so it's difficult to recommend without knowing your goals and budget.
From what you've said, I'd just get some whey concentrate, maltodextrin, and dextrose in equal amounts along with a spare tub, throw an equal amount of each into the tub, mix it, and that's your workout shake.
The sweetner issue is a whole other debate in itself, but your shake is going to consist of two thirds simple sugars, so sweetner/flavouring really isn't necessary just to chug it down; the taste of plain whey concentrate is pretty bland and nonoffensive anyway (hydrolysate can be pretty rough). If you find it's too unpleasant to drink plain (which I can't see happening to be honest) you can get flavourings seperately anyway, so it's not like your plain whey is rendered uselesss. Another alternative would be to use unsweetened Kool-Aid sachets, seeing as the shake should taste pretty sweet without additional artificial sweetners - which the flavour powders obviously contain.
Dextrose being the sweeter compared to malto. The tubs I've bought has 95% malto and 5% fructose, I reckon the fructose is simply there to add flavour since it does not have the advantageous effects malto has. Fructose initially goes to the liver and if you've 'filled' it with fructose, the rest is going straight to the fat reserves :bandit:
I reckon malto is a perfectly good option, Vitargo is a pricey story and should perhaps be considered if you have the money, the benefits reaped from Vitargo should be considered if you're an athlete or such since malto/dextrose works perfectly well.

Thats genius, cheap and good flavor. This is a great thread for UK/Ireland/Europe cause usually all the links are for US sites that the shipping costs an arm and a leg.
Edit:With Myprotein.co.uk I can get 3kgs of Lobo's "shake mix" for less than I was buying my concentrate for. Plus I hate my current brand's taste and consistancy. Legend

Basically, my main target is to lose weight (and gain muscles, obviously). I'm currently going to the gym about 3 times a week (cant any more though because it's closed for a few weeks :(), so am stuck to home jogging and using my dumbell/barbell set at home (which I currently use at about 9-10, I do my routine then bed). My tastes are quite fussy so I probably would go for flavoured whey.
Problem is, as you've probably gathered by now, I know little about supplements. I know some stuff though.
From what you've said, I'd just get some whey concentrate, maltodextrin, and dextrose in equal amounts along with a spare tub, throw an equal amount of each into the tub, mix it, and that's your workout shake.
If only I knwe what maltodextrin and dextrose were and how/where to get them. :(

Yay! UK FTW! :D
What is the stuff I need for Lobo's "shake mix"? What products did you see that you would use?
Was it:
http://www.myprotein.co.uk/bulk-powders/protein-powders/whey-protein-concentrate-80-(euro)/
http://www.myprotein.co.uk/bulk-powders/carbohydrates/dextrose/
http://www.myprotein.co.uk/bulk-powders/carbohydrates/maltodextrin/
?
That is quite a lot of carbs...and as I'm trying to lose weight, would that be bad? I'm currently trying to cut (1500 kcals a day if possible). If I had 30g of each (is that too much), the shake would be...1000kcals!? Also, how does this stuff taste with skimmed milk, or should I have water? And how much?
Sorry for my stupidness, and thanks a lot as you've all been veyr helpful.
The idea of eating simple carbohydrates before/during/after workouts is to provide energy, replenish muscle glycogen and cause an insulin spike to shuttle amino acids into the muscles. If you're cutting then yeah, you might want to reduce them or cut them out altogether.
30g of each would work out at more like 350kcal. You'd be better of using water rather than milk. Like I said, you don't need to purchase ready-flavoured whey because the flavouring is available seperately, the only advantage in the flavoured stuff is that you don't have to mix the powder yourself, which is hardly worth the price difference from the stuff in the price-matcher.
Again, you're 14, your workout regime probably isn't ideal, your primary goal is to lose bodyfat, I don't think you need to concern yourself with supplements yet.

Yeah, I understand what you're saying. Problem is, I know I don't have enough protein in my diet. I have porridge (with milk and egg) for breakfast, a turkey sandwich for lunch (about 50g protein overall I think) and not much protein for my evening meal. What I think I need is a protein-ful meal, for between meals (the 5 smaller meals things), as currently I normally have a piece of fruit or something. I would have tuna, or cottage cheese...but I hate them. :(

well you are only 14, maybe your body isn't ready to grow in that way yet. You mightn't have the necessary hormones. You really shouldn't be on protein so young.
But yeah its those products you mentioned. Its important to get the carbs in to you around workouts to replenish the glycogen stores(as lobo said)

You definitely get enough protein in if your diet is sufficient. From what I can tell it shouldn't be a big problem.

You obviously have no idea what you're talking about do you?
Whey comes from milk sources and is perfectly natural protein in powder form. He could drink a gallon of milk to get the same amount of protein, through whey that is. one gallon of milk isn't something I would recommend though.

yeah, sorry. And by the sound of that guys diet he is getting a lot of protein already.
Maybe, I'm going to start counting the protein I have. Proplem is, for example, a turkey slice only has like 4.5g of protein. And taking in mind I normally have 2 slices in bread for lunch, that's...like 20g protein overall (including other stuff) if I'm lucky. Breakfast is porridge (oatmeal) with egg and cooked in milk, so a bit of protein there. Just, I still feel I'm short. My main problem is I dont like nuts (including peanut butter), tuna or cottage cheese. Crap eh? I'm gonna keep trying them though, hoping one day I will like them.
Don't force feed yourself with food you can't stand. It'll just end up in disaster. Provided you eat what you say you eat, I see absolutely no problem with your protein intake. Remember that virtually everything contains protein to an extent.

ok fine dont listen to what i have to say but if you really want to know the diffrences between the kinds of whey ion extange, isolate and others you'll listen
Trickour
May-27-07, 10:39 PM
ion extange isolates versus micro extange isolates
so choosing a protein never look only for the highest protein content thats not the only factor you should consider. When i say highest im talking about
ion extange isolates. they do some weird process called and ion extange and Boom you got a ion extange "whey" isolate. Whey is a very complicated protein with its on subfraction peptides that some are found in very small amounts. These peptide fractions are what makes whey such a unique protein. These frations are part of the health and immunity goodness of whey protein. The reason you should not choose ion extanges is because they deplete these subfractions. So Ion extange protein has lost alot of the most valuable health promoting components.
What I sudjest even over the GNC generic health brand is a micro isolate. They have nearly the same high protein content as ion extange but they keep these importand subfractions.

If you mean how do I have it, just whey + water shake. I've tried whey + banana + milk, but it is still very cold-hot-chocolate-ly. :dead:

Haha sorry parasite, I just find it funny that 14 year old kids use whey, no offense.
At least Parasite has a vague idea of what it actually is, compared with 99% of people his age who think it will make them buff as hell.
The funny thing is that he is 14. He can eat Fruit Loops, Frosties or even Cheerios(!!). He can stuff anything in there and the nuclear reactor that consists of his growing testo levels and sheer pubertism will ensure that it comes to good use.

Yeah, I see what you're saying. Although I am 15 in under 2 weeks :tongue:

Cheers for semi-backing me up Rahf.
The problem is I cant just shove anything in there, it just doesnt work. :eh:
BTW, why (!!) after Cheerios?

Probably just emphasis on that you can eat mean food and still get away with it.

Right, update. Yeah, I'm still not very keen on it.
I just went on the BB.com forums just to see if anyone had reviewed it and said the same, or if it was just me being fussy (like normal). This is what I found:

Is body fortress whey vanilla powder a good supplement to gain mass? Or is it just a cheap P.O.S
BIG TIME P.O.S!
yea its horrible. got 2 lb for 8 bucks or something and thinking of throwing it out because i cant stop the gag reflex. same for the chocolate.
So it's not just me :smile: Still not sure what to get though, as buying the cheapest just didnt work :tongue:

Hahaha, i've never heard it before!
And because we'd reached 57 at the same time (at the time of writing it).
:good:
"The best protein for gaining muscle is always a high quality protein blend which contains Highest quality "un-denatured" High Fraction (CFM) Whey protein Isolate and concentrates, Milk Protein Isolate (Miceller Casein) and Egg Albumin.
My favorites are Beverly Muscle Provider and Propeptide by DYA.
It's laughable that many believe ON 100% Whey comes in the same class which doesn't come even close by any stretch of imagination."
Duuut.. Wrong. Protein is not the deciding factor that builds muscle, though it is a part of it. That thread was horrible. I'd like him to scientifically prove why ON 100% Whey is worse than his favourite brand.

Yeah, I think I made it up.
And...OK. Not much more to say than that. :punched:

Yeah, well not everyone on there is as clever as you Rahf! Although 2 people said BF stuff was yuck, so I'll just agree with them :wink:
I've been speaking to Lobo a bit and think I'm just going to get the unbranded stuff from MyProtein or BulkPowders, as was said earlier in this thread.
Good on ya, it'll probably save you some money in the long run. Plus it gives some type of benefit to Graham.
