Best Protein Powder For Gaining Muscle?

[Just_being_me]

I dont even think i could list all the proteins i've had over the years...definitly tried all the 'name brands', and have recently stuck w/ MRM Metabolic whey for my whey protein. Good price, good taste, good results.(i use abb mass recovery for post workout, great pwo blend)
For weight gainer, MHP Mass weight gainer is fav.

[dwatts]

ON for me. Cookies and Cream all the way !!

[boyscouT]

I use All The Whey 20/30 Whey Protein. CHOCOLATE!

[Prexier64]

GUYS !!! comon have you never compared the BCAA of the optimum nutrition its lower than probably all other proteins!

its concentrate protein = lower price
taste can be good but not the best quality protein

[Caesar164]

What are you guys thought on syntrax matrix, great taste 23 grams per scoop of protein, and only 140 calories per serving; also, what's the overall consensus on musclemilk?

[RedlineRider]

Hey guys I have been looking at nitro-tech could you give me the calories per scoop,etc info on it, and will it make me fat, or will it just help put on lean muscle fast
Also, does nitro-tech include those bcaa things, and have you guys seen the new nighttime nitro-tech do you think that is good to take as weel as the original during the day?

Bodybuilding.com lists all the info you seek son

I've been buying the 10lb bag's on ON's 100% Whey for awhile now. Good stuff, Vanilla Ice Cream is versatile enough that you can mix it into many different liquids and still have good taste!

[AHood]

why is it that everyone seems to like the Optimum nutrition protein. maybe its the variety of flavors. i just looked at ON's website and it doesnt even have any real facts about there protein but if you notice is shows the fact sheet thats on the back of the bottle. the second product on the list is whey protein concentrate. this is an inferior form of protein. as a few people have said only the best protein works the best. I only use CFM ultra filtered whey its the most highly bioavailable you can get. ive recently started using a blend that contains CFM isolate, egg albumin, and micellar casein. i use this at night and in the morning and use just the CFM whey before during and after workout. ive recently reached a max squat of 500 a dead lift of 565 and a 320 hang clean.
these are my thoughts put the best in and get the best out

you might want to rethink this as a choice
The taste is HORRID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[eckohb]

I like Nitro Tech actually, I love the chocolate taste, and the results i get. I take 3 scoops with milk, one in the morning, one for lunch, and one at night. so thats 60 grams of protein total. Maybe it's just me, but I like it. If you asked for my opinion, I'd try it out. It's the only protein I take.

[chris mason]

I agree a blend is best (specifically whey, casein, and egg). There is no proof, however, that micellar casein provides any greater of a benefit with respect to building muscle than does caseinate. There IS definitive proof of the benefit of casein as a protein which provides for superior net retention, but none of the superiority of micellar casein over caseinate.

Should I be using this everyday? Or just after my workout?

[Gaz1690]

I been using egg white protein powder and has worked very well.

2 questions.

1. Whatever happened to ProLab Pure Whey as being a top protein?

2. Is the ON Natural 100% Whey any better or worse than the regular ON 100% Whey?

Thanks

[no_pencil_neck]

I have gotten good results with Designer Whey. It has a good taste and mixes well. When financialy crunched, I sometimes use Body Fortress which is cheaper but has close to the same grams of protein per serving.

[no_pencil_neck]

The idea is to keep as constant a flow of protein to the body as possible. The excepted rate being 0.8 - 1 g. per pound of body weight. If using it every day keeps you close to that without stuffing your face with larger meals, I would say use it every day.

[BIGbrihh]

Im pretty sure that the ON brand whey protien is the same exact stuff as GNC's pro performance line of whey protien. The only difference is the label and packaging.

[mwehrle]

Hope u have good luck with pro complex, everyone I know has had great results with it. Let me know how it works for u

[EChe07]

ive been using on whey protein for a year, and it has been really good to me. im not going to say its the best because obviously some supplements work better for people than others. i would say at least try on whey.

[pmad68]

I think NITRO-TECH is the best protein of all time because I gained
17lbs of lean mass in 6 weeks and added 45lbs to my max Bench Press
STATS:
Height-5'8''
Weight-327lbs(bodyfat% is 3%)
Barbell Bench Press-725lbs(RAW)
Dumbbell Bench Press-300lbs(RAW)(on each dumbbell)
Squat-831lbs(RAW)
Deadlift-950lbs(RAW)
Supplements I'm on:NITRO-TECH,CELL-TECH,PUMP-TECH,GAKIC,ANATOR-P70,
LEUKIC,HYDOXYCUT HARDCORE,MASS-TECH

Impressive, 327Lbs with 3 % bodyfat.

[eckohb]

I can answer question 2: ON Natural Whey is essentially the same as regular ON Whey when it comes to the protein itself. The difference is regarding flavoring and sweeteners. ON Natural contains no artificial flavors or sweeteners (which some people may be allergic to).
Overall on this topic, if you're bodybuilding on a budget, I think ON 100% Whey is the best choice. If you can afford it, Beverly Int. Muscle Provider, and the Ergopharm GF-PRO are top of the line. Cytodyne's Cytopro WPI is a high quality economical choice as well.

The truth shall set you free.

[dontbuypete]

Bench Monster is so full of crap. 5'8'' 327 3% bf. HAHA yea right.

Let's see a pic.

[eckohb]

yeah, 300 lbs on each DB for presses is insane. Ive only seen ronnie press 200 lb DB.

[wrstlrJIM]

i like muscle milk cookies n cream it tastes pretty good but sometimes makes me sick, anyone got any other suggestions?

[EquinOX]

Ergopharm GF Pro is top quality and the numerous flavors appeal to everyone.

DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING
