Protein choices (current 25% off deal)

[Wojtnic]

It's about that time....I'm running out of my protein stockpile and was trying to hold off for a bodybuilding deal.

Fortunately, for the next 72 hours, bodybuilding is offering 25% off select brands. My recent protein powders have been RSP Whey (previous BB deal), Universal Nutrition Animal Whey, and BPI Whey. All 3 have been good, no complaints. However, none of these are being offered in this sale.

The two most notable in the list to me are Dymatize ISO-100 & MusclePharm 100% Whey (throwing out Syntha 6 due to higher calories).

I used to use Combat Whey when MusclePharm first came out and it was good. Yet, due to all the recent ammino spiking talk, I don't quite trust MP. Dymatize is most likely a superior product, however, I will be purchasing about 10lbs which has the following breakdown:
Dymatize - $112.48 (0.74 per serving)
MP - &77.98 (0.53 per serving)

Thoughts? Is Dymatize really worth an extra $40?
Thanks!

Universal is included actually. But from personal experience I'd go with Dymatize from the choices you gave. Cellucor is also a good brand and it's on sale.

[Misctake7]

BPI Whey-HD is buy 1 get 1 50% off. Still a good deal if you pair it with a 10% off code. Mix and match flavors.

Otherwise Dymatize is a solid option. Iso100 Fudge Brownie and Orange Dreamsicle are both excellent flavors you cannot go wrong with.

Ahh true, I probably should have been more specific and said that the only two companies offering 25% on their 4-5lb tubs is MP and Dymatize.
Since I will be getting Vanilla and Chocolate (will used in smoothies), the mix and match capability of 2lb tubs doesn't benefit me

Thanks for the support. Would come to roughly $90 for 8lbs (104 servings..comes in 5lb tubs). Highly recommend the molten chocolate if you go this route.

ISOHD is currently 2 for $40

If you're open to other suggestions then check out PROmore as right now is still buy 1 get 1 50% off, add in the usual 10% code and you got an awesome deal as it comes out to be $66.14 for 8lbs of protein. It shouldn't even be active right now as it's suppose to end a week ago so get on it while you can. Also feedbacks has been phenomenal on it:

Throwing in a suggestion not on your list, Axis Labs Muscle Delight is currently Buy 1 get one 50% off. if you're looking to get 8 lbs (two 4 lb tubs) you could get four 2lb tubs for $86 after the promo and usual 10% off coupon. The chocolate and vanilla are great (as are french toast and s'mores)

Dymatize is excellent if you want to go that way as well.

[AfroPope]

Out of the stuff ON your list - I like the Syntha-6 Edge, personally, but I think that's an unpopular opinion. Animal Whey and Dymatize are both long-proven brands with great flavors (Dymatize has especially really stepped it up recently in that department). Cellucor is good quality but their flavoring is too sweet for me, personally.

If you're going for stuff NOT on your list, I'd grab the ProMORE as listed above. Controlled Labs makes great stuff and their flavoring is always terrific.

[Wojtnic]

It's crazy that people would pay an extra $35 for Dymatize over MP or even go another route and get a product with a lesser deal. Glad I asked.

I am open to other deals, I just doubt many can beat the 25% off, unless its BOGO

Thanks again.

Very good time to give Gaspari's new Precision Protein a look

Wow I did NOT read the fine print and see that the Dymatize was THAT much more expensive for a 5-pounder.

25% off is good. But I would also suggest that you look into Gaspari Precision Protein which is BOGO 50% off. The flavors are spectacular (especially Neapolitan), but we are most excited about the Embedded-Enzyme Technology.

If you end up not minding the extra calories, I would pick Syntha-6 from your above options.

[lntense]

Damn wish I would have seen that controlled labs protein deal. Always seem to have good products..




I ended up going with a tub of combat powder for me, and the syntha(for my gf, she can use the extra calories)

Used them both before and they both are amazing taste wise.

Quality over Quantity

[andrewwww]

Nutrabolics Isobolic is currently 20% off and can add in 10% code on top. High quality Protein blend.

As for others check out CL Pro, BPI WheyHD, Cellucor, MuscleTech these usually have some great deals going

[CONTROLLED LABS]

PROmore is a steal for a few more days at BOG 50% off

[KwayZee]

Dymatize has some dang good protein

[Ripper908]

ANIMAL whey is the best on that list imo

though syntha 6 kills everything else in the taste department

Well, uh, there is

Hard to buy protein powder from companies that have lied about the amount of protein in their products



I don't know what pricing you can get on PEScience Select but you owe it to yourself to try that in frosted chocolate cupcake or the chocolate peanut butter cup (I haven't had that PB one but I'm sure it's good if that's your thing), or any of the other flavors


Of what's on sale the BOGO-50% on the Promore would be tempting, cinnamon roll is a good one and the orange cream pop is an orange creamsicle they nailed it. Gaspari Precision Neapolitan is very good as well, but their company history isn't perfect ya know...still I've killed three tubs now

I'd probably go PROmore or Select or Dymatize. Animal Whey is pretty good on their flavors and a great company too...flavors just not quite as good IMO as the Select or Precision or PROmore

[FormulaLT1poweR]

MuscleTech NitroTech Whey Gold - https://www.bodybuilding.com/store/m...whey-gold.html

Buy 2 Get 1 Free on the 2.5lbers so 7.5lbs for under $60.00

[TrainerTone]

From what's currently on sale I'd go with

Dymatize Iso100
Animal Whey
Controlled Labs Promore
Gaspari Precision Protein

In no particular order

I jumped in on this
Cant wait to try the orange flavor

Dymatize is a great product, but VERY over priced. It's $99.99 in the CAD store for 5 lbs...

[RunningTall]

Go with the PROmore my man. If cost is your biggest concern, SAN Titanium is quality and crazy cheap for the 5 lb tubs.

Err, if I'm not mistaken.. it's not at all fair to compare the pricing of an isolate vs a whey. (Dymatize Iso100 vs MP Combat Whey)
Obviously an isolate will be priced slightly higher.

[Anabo]

I usually get Kaizen when its on sale.

Def agree with this one, precision protein is a very solid protein with awesome flavor. Of what you listed though OP, I'd have to say, go for Dymatize. You are paying for what you get and that extra $40 is well worth it to no you are truly getting actual protein. Have you heard of amino spiking against dymatize? No.

[MosToorani]

I'm currently in the same situation as OP but I have already made up my choice and will stick to Iso Dymatize (slight lactose issues)..

Just finished a tub of orange (fantabulous!), wanted to know the general opinion on whether to go with cinnamon or banana? Worried about the artificial banana taste.

I've tried all other flavors except for strawberry...
