optimum whey big fuss?

[harrytipper]

Whats the big deal with this brand of whey. It seems like the bodybuilding.com website praises it. I thought most whey's were basically the same standard and theres really now magic kind.

so what makes this stand out. The price is pretty high too. Not high enough to make you go holy crap like muscletech products but still a little high. so is there a secret to optimum whey that i dont know?

[laxster]

nothing in my opinion, I think dymatize is a better product

Dymatize protein failed label claims by 10%... ON 100% whey has been shown to meet label claims. That alone says a lot to me.

However, ON is highly regarded on this web site because it's a relatively inexpensive whey that tastes and mixes good. It's certainly not the "best" product out there, but it might be one of the best budget wheys.

ON is popular. The quality is pretty good, so is the taste. For what a decent protein runs now I think the price is actually pretty good as well.

It's not the best, no. But it is popular in the mainstream.

Any chances of getting samples of certain flavors?

[jules_d1]

Theres no bells and whistles about it.

Its basically just your "standard issue" protein. Tastes good, mixes well, economically priced.....

i love ON whey and buy it regularily, but i also like choc. dymatize elite whey and think that elite tastes way better. you should find a way to make it taste kinda like that and ill buy it more lol

No it doesn't.

[Tucdaddy]

It tastes good and mixes easily. It use to be very cheap, which also helped, but with the price of milk rising the price of ON has also increased. It's probably my favorite protein powder that doesn't come from a bulk supplier.

[Atheimetal]

I got 2lbs of ON Gold last night for $14. Pretty sweet if you ask me.

Then which is the best out in the market?

[harrytipper]

i always thought it would be one of the cheaper proteins becuz everyone says its so affordable but it seems its moderate to expensive for the price

Sometimes making no significant mistakes is spectacular, even if you do nothing spectacular. Such is the case with ON's whey.

[u5711]

For whatever reason they raised the price months ago by about $5. Now, with the price of all whey products going up I think you are right -- many sites are charging $34-38 for 5 pounds of ON 100%, which is feel is not in the economy class anymore .

Hopefully it comes down again, but that might just be wishful thinking...

[gjohnson5]

You could buy 14 cartons of eggs and have like multiple times the protein...

I use Dymatize

Lmfao, so true...Only a few of us can stomach a carton of eggs a day ^_^

We like our flavor the way it is

That's subjective.

And yes, I could have bought eggs. Maybe if I acquire a taste for liquid egg post-workout shake.

[harrytipper]

at costco they sell protein 6 lbs. of protein for only 25 bucks

lol.

I personally prefer the optimum over the dymatize. I used to use the chocolate mint back in the day.

Our champion line is quite delicious for the Iso/Con blend. Im in love with the mochachino flavour.

ON is very mainstream. You see it being pushed here, you see it being pushed at Vitamin Shoppe, etc.

And to it's credit, it is very decently priced product. But over the years I learned that protein does make a difference. Therefore I choose to purchase what I consider higher quality blends. But to each his own I guess.

What do you usually go for?

[Big_Spaz]

What do you usually go for?

Always a pure Isolate for my pre-workout protein shake.

A good blend as a Meal Replacement.

A Quality Casein blend for before bed.



Usually the top of my refrigerator has on it -

Giant's WPH
Ergopharm I-Pro
Ergopharm Mass Meal
Xtreme Formulations Ultra Peptide


And that is just one month's supply of Protein. This has worked GREAT for me. I honestly can't express how much my training and body composition changed with well timed protein. I started really focusing on this back in 2004 or 2005 and it made a huge difference. I go 300 grams of protein per day from supplements and 300 per day from food.

Wow lots of protein for a big guy eh! I know Nutrabolics isnt really liked on this board but I do enjoy their Isobolic protein. As for a good whey protein I do enjoy our Bio-X Whey Isolate in Cookies and Cream. Too bad its not sold in the US!

[TE]

I've recently bought a ton (30 lbs) of milk & egg protein. Universal. Vanilla flavor. I'm adding it to my ON. ON is a great product to fall back on, a standby if you will. Not to mention my kids love the choc mint flavor.

I'm also adding it to my I-Pro, Whey Supremacy, & Pro Complex.

[MaddenMuscle]

ON is good stuff however I dont use it becuase I prefer higher quality blends or Isolates.

I use:

Substance WPI
Syntha-6
Ultra Peptide.
