So I walk into Supplement Superstore today... (Protein Question)

[leftyisking]

I walk into Supplement Superstore and go looking for a protein. The guy asks if he can help me so I say sure. I tell him I am looking for a protein that satisfies both my post workout needs and my throughout the day needs and he says there is no happy medium. So my first question is, is this true?
Secondly, I ask him if I would be better off getting the blend or a simple WPI and he points me to ALLMAX IsoFlex and Phormula 1. Phormula 1 is hydrolyzed and 45$ for 32 servings while Isoflex is 37$ for 30 servings and is a mix of WPI and Hydrolyzed whey. I was going to get Isoflex but then realized that it's not very economical and I can get 64 servings of ON Gold Standard or Myofusion or Syntha 6. He says the quality of the protein is horrible in each of those three, especially Syntha-6 since they changed their formula and made it soy based. I guess my question is, is the quality of the protein really that much less to the point that I would be better off getting 32 servings for 45$ than 64 servings for 38$? He also made a big deal about the two WPI's being cold processed or cold filtered or something... Is it really that big of a difference in the long run?

simple answer: protein is protein, doesn't matter if its isolate or concentrate, whey or brown rice

My advice is stay away from that store... Get ur advice here and buy online ( will save u money).. Myo is one of the best proteins out and for him to say the quality is horrible is horrible means he is an idiot!.. You were correct in getting a blended protein and that IS the happy median. Go with MYO, Trutein, XF UP 2.0 , Golden Feast.. Cant vo wrong with any of those ...

Lol'd. The dudes a tard and wants ur cash. Myo is probably the number 1 blend out there in terms of quality/taste/servings/mixability for the price point. And yes protein is protein, so it can be used whenever and it doesn't have to be some fancy blend that costs an arm and a leg. Myo will do the job just fine.

He was saying that the ISO is far and away a better protein for post workout than myo/the others

[xR1pp3Rx]

no hes full of sh!t on all most every account.. i recomend u buy any of those that fit your budget and enjoy.. for the most part if you are not a competitive BBer who can really benifit from certain species timed for specific reasons, i think it wont make a damn bit of difference for u . tho i dont recomend soy products for males.

SS is cheaper actually and without the shipping too.

[reefseller]

Although I am newer, I agree with everyone above. The guy is full of ****

Cause he gets comission for selling more of certain products.. Walk into GNC and see what i mean

Yea that makes sense. For anyone that has a SS in their area you must know they are making a killing off of 1DB over drive and 1DB Goddess. All you ever hear on the radio is those two products being marketed and when I went in, two women and 1 male were buying it.

BTW, thanks fellas, I think Im gonna go with Myofusion. Flavor suggestions? I was thinking PBC, Banana, or just plain old chocolate... I love Reeses if they PBC tastes anything like that

It sounds like you need MaxPro by Max Muscle Sports Nutrition. It is a Whey Isolate, (quick acting), Whey Concentrate (a little slower acting) and Casein (slow acting) This protein can be used post-workout because it has Whey Isolate, and it can be used throughout the day. So you would have sustained release of proteins for 3 to 3 1/2 hours. If you are eating 6 times a day like you should, this protein is ideal.

[ebbers91]

Oh geez, even local stores have online reps now

Op, I advise you to not return to S2, buy online

[DressedInSmoke]

that man actually gave you great advice, good cold processed isolate blows syntha 6 or on gold standard out of the water, definately worth the money

When you wrestle with the guys, butthole is butthole. Simple answer! Doesn't matter if it's hairy butthole, big balls hanging below butthole. For more complex answer astroglide when wrestling.

Call me a pussy again, at least I get mine..

Looks like the O'Fallen store has went from a radio ad every 30 seconds on the radio to online messageboards. (I'm just guessing you are from the O'Fallen store in St. Louis. I hear their ads on the radio all the time)

[sinlesss]

You have Mula Kunis butthole and you have Justin Beiber(sp?) butthole.. Both are quite a bit different. ;-)

exactly. least someone understands the many variations

[Hansolo261]

it doesnt matter what protein you use if the majority of you protein intake is from whole food and you use powder to supplement.

[koard31]

This is correct, S2 has a lot of good prices, but do your homework before going in, their in store employees will leave you alone if you know what you're doing. If you don't, they'll really work you and try to use their house brand, Phormula stuff. I've used them a lot as their prices are typically inline with most online retailers minus the shipping/waiting.

Do they all taste the same when you lick em?

[PhiDelt234]

I won't say it cause it looks like its already been said many times already. The supplement store I go to doesn't try and steer me towards another supplement which is great because an individual should have the right to buy whatever he came to buy in the first place. Its on them to learn on their own which protein or pre/post work is the best

Is that right? Interesting. You are telling me there is no difference whatsoever? I'm sorry but are way wrong! Chicken breast is just as nutritious as taco bell meat? sure... Look up "bioavailability", different grades of WPC's and WPI, how each has their own purpose and rate of digestion!
Honestly, I wouldn't even feed Gold Standard or Syntha 6 to my dog!
The Supplement industry is full of garbage and deceiving companies. U think you're actually getting 24 g of protein in a scoop of GWS??? LOL

They don't have a house brand! LOL I used to work for em. But maybe one day they'll have one...

No commission for the employees there (as long as i worked there till recently). Sorry to burst ur bubble. They actually want you to get results. U can take the advice or leave it. But maybe a $5 hot n' ready will b a better choice over some garbage protein...

[liuzhoudragon]

OMG! the sales man recommended something expensive. (insert sarcastic shocked pic here)
