Try typing in "Optimum Nutrition" or "100 Whey". I jus got Choc Mint flavour of ON 100% Whey and OMG it tastes amazing with milk. Got mines from MonsterSupplements.com

Google whatever you are looking for and add the words "Lowest Price" "Inexpensive" and "Cheap".

Funny enough, there is a health food soy tofu store in my city. So I go there sometimes to check supp prices, and I see they got ON whey and Pro complex in there. So I ask about them because they don't normally carry them. They cost like 15 bucks a bottle. I was like WTF, I'll take 'em. Now I got so much protein powder, its ridiculous. And they all good until like 2007.

15 dollars for Pro-Complex? Thats like 10 British Pounds! You lucky bastard and Pro-Complex has like 50g Protein per serving.

For overall quality of product as a MRP, I prefer Ergopharm's Mass Meal. All the flavors are excellent and the cost of comparable to all the other MRP's on the market whose ingredient profiles aren't necessarily as good.

For straight whey protein, I took ON for a long time and now prefer the Dynatize products.

Optimum 100% whey... the tits!!!!!!!

**brock212** · 07-26-2006, 11:05 AM

Am sure ON 100% Whey is the best in the world!

**Big Boi 1906** · 07-26-2006, 12:33 PM

I swear, ON Whey got a cult following!!!

ON aint the most expensive or best quality or tasting protein.
It's like having a nice Cadillac sedan, its still classy and respectable!

**Football_Lifter** · 07-26-2006, 03:36 PM

I am almost out of my ON choc. mint (mmmmm) but I am thinking about getting some Dymatize Elite Whey Protein. Anybody have any experience or thoughts about this product? Or should I just order a different flavor of ON?

**donflo79** · 07-26-2006, 11:59 PM

I had better "gains" while on Muscle Milk (post workout & before sleep); gained a little over a pound a week over 1.5 months (of fat?). I've been taking ON 100% Gold now for the last 2 weeks; gains are have been much slower, averaging less than a pound a week.

By gains, I pretty much mean strength in the gym & body weight.

No change in eating habits but I did start the BSN Mass Stack the last week I was on the Muscle Milk.

Now I have both & still on the Mass Stack. I'll probably do the ON pre&post workout and maybe after some meals as directed; take the MM before going to sleep since it's a casein.

PS, I know there's tons of calories, calories from fat, & carbs in MM; but I'll ride the "Lean Lipid" boat for awhile & see where it takes me.

**glimerxxx** · 07-28-2006, 03:12 PM

**wheelgunner** · 07-29-2006, 08:39 AM

I have been using this lately.

Has anyone heard of it?

Is it any good?

It is available from CostCo.

That's freakin crazy! I'm in Canada and my pro Complex is like $69.99!!!

**itch808** · 07-29-2006, 04:53 PM

Has anybody used both:

Isopure (http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/nb/lowcarb.html)
AST VP2 (http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/ast/vp2.html)

??

They seem comparable both in quality and price, with the VP2 being slightly more expensive per/lb.

**brayj789** · 07-30-2006, 09:28 PM

Gnc protein is decent, But I'm starting with Optimum nutrition teusday in hopes for the best! Anyone some good flavors? I'm leaning towards cookies n cream, as it sounds delicous.

"Serious Mass" by Optimum would be the one to gain humongous muscle. 15lbs of muscle in 16*2 days cycle. TWO THUMBS UP

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.

I believe there is a "cheap" protein in this "class" available at your local Costco for a mere $25 for 6lbs. Wellement's Pro-Rated protein.

Link: http://www.wellements.com/prorated.asp

I apologize if the their website doesn't have a 'roided out bodybuilder with a famous name backing it.

It's ingredients and profile look as good as any protein I've read about.

As stated by many in this thread who's words were brushed aside in favor of hype and sales/marketing lingo, protein is protein. The only difference truly is on "how long" it takes to absorb. Each protein process-type is represented in this cheapo protein. Concentrate, isolate, hydrolsate and even egg protein. It's a 4 hour time-release protein that is on par with any named in this thread IMO and it's cost is highly affordable from a local brick and mortar store near you.

^Cool

Which flavor do you prefer?

I tried Chocolate but I had to add Nestles Quick.

The vanilla is OK by itself, but I add 1 bannana. If in season (like now) I also add strawberries.

I was kinda supprised with the suggested intake. 2 scoops twice a day. Each scoop 27g protien.

I thought I read 30g maximum at a time. I was taking 2 scoops in the morning but now take just 1 scoop.

I don't have anything to compare it to. I just started in March.

**MoreMuscle06** · 08-01-2006, 11:29 PM

well i use DESIGNER PROTEIN WHEY 2 lb chocolate damn good and it really works when i work out but ill try ON chocolate see if it works like designer protein whey is there any protein that helps you burn fat the only one that i know is DESIGNER PROTEIN WHEY good stuff

**brayj789** · 08-02-2006, 08:07 AM

ON vanilla icecream Whey is pretty good, doesn't add a lot of flavor to Oatmeal however. My favorite is cookies and cream so far, but I'm planning on trying chocolate mint and rocky road.

**maconstate** · 08-02-2006, 09:06 AM

There are so many dang guys getting paid to look like normal ppl on these threads advertising for companies.. you can never tell who is legit.

Sams club has 5lbs for 18.88. I've been using that for ages, and look at my stats. Protein is protein. If your diet isn't down, then it really doesn't matter which PEPTIDES or all that other bs you're taking in with your shake.

I hate guys coming in here thinking they can drastically alter their body by buying expensive protein powders. You can go without whey - plain and simple.

I've got a 10lb thing of ON coming in, so I'll let you know what I think of that.

THERE ARE TOOOOO MANY THREADS ABOUT PROTEIN POWDERS
