Protein choices (current 25% off deal)

[showjo1josh]

Like said above the extra money is worth knowing it's not spiked. I think dymatize sounds like the way to go over what you have listed or look up some of the deals others have suggested such as CL or Gaspari.

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.

Love the muscle delight French toast and dymatize orange dreamscile

A certain website has a bogo on muscletechs iso-whey in pb choco twist which comes to about $23 for 4 lbs.

[fatboystick]

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!

Personally, given the choice between Dymatize and MP...Dymatize without blinking.


If you are open for suggestions, Have you tried TRUE GRIT : PRE ?
Its on sale and given the breakdown, in the middle of where you are ;looking.

Well, uh, there is



this ^

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

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

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

thanks for all of the promore love and support. when on sale BOGO 50% off it doesnt get any better than that for a quality protein that tastes great

Gotta support quality products

For anyone else in the same situation as me, I decided to try Dymatize ISO100. Based on the available deals, I considered the following:

Dymatize - Never had it, but it seems to be highly recommend
Gaspari - Never had it, but was mentioned by a few on this post
Promore - Never had it, but was mentioned by a few on this post
Animal - My previous protein choice

The current price breakdown was as follows:

Dymatize - 10lbs - $112.48 ($0.74 per serving)
Gaspari - 8lbs - $110.98 ($1.15 per serving)
Promore - 8lbs - $73.49 ($0.66 per serving)
Animal - 10lbs - $108.72 ($0.77 per serving)

Based on price and recommendations, I would have tried Promore. But due to the lack of generic flavors (this will be for my smoothies therefore wanted vanilla / choc) I decided against it.
Dymatize and Animal were close in price, however, due to the high recommendations and option for a larger tub size (5lbs vs multiple 2lbs), I decided to give Dymatize a try.

Carbon also had a small discount ($10 off 2) and I've always wanted to try it, so I decided to pick that up as well. It's about time I cycle off stimmed pre-workout (been a few years )

Overall supplement haul:
Dymatize ISO-100 Gourmet Chocolate, 5 Lbs.
Dymatize ISO-100 Gourmet Vanilla, 5 Lbs.
Dymatize ISO-100 Rocky Road, 1.6 Lbs. (damn free sample got me)
Carbon by Layne Norton Prep Fruit Punch
Carbon by Layne Norton Prep Cranberry

Thanks for all the recommendations!

Solid pickups my man. Enjoy!!

[MosToorani]

Thanks man!

I'm in a bit of a dilemma as well!

Iso-100 ... Should I stick to Fudge Brownie or opt for Banana/Strawberry? Recommendations?

P.s I've tried the rest of the flavors!

[CONTROLLED LABS]

YES, as soon as PROmore gets in to the top 15 proteins sold on bodybuilding.com we will launch additional ones

Hello
Protein provides energy and supports your mood and cognitive function. While it’s in many of the foods that we eat every day, for something so common it’s often a misunderstood part of our diets. Think of protein and you might think of steak sizzling on a grill, an energy bar touting to banish fatigue, or a protein shake promising amazing muscle growth. Yes, these foods are all packed with protein, but when it comes to making the best protein choices to keep your body and mind healthy, quality is just as important as quantity.

What is protein?
Protein is a vital nutrient required for building, maintaining, and repairing tissues, cells, and organs throughout the body. When you eat protein, it is broken down into the 20 amino acids that are the body’s basic building blocks for growth and energy. The amino acid tryptophan influences mood by producing serotonin, which can reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety and improve overall cognitive function.

Most animal sources of protein, such as meat, poultry, fish, eggs, and dairy, deliver all the amino acids your body needs, while plant-based protein sources such as grains, beans, vegetables, and nuts often lack one or more of the essential amino acids. However, that doesn’t mean you have to eat animal products to get the right amino acids. By eating a variety of plant-based sources of protein each day you can ensure your body gets all the essential amino acids it needs.

Protein gives you the energy to get up and go—and keep going. While too much protein can be harmful to people with kidney disease, diabetes, and some other conditions, eating the right amount of high-quality protein:

Keeps your immune system functioning properly, maintains heart health and your respiratory system, and speeds recovery after exercise
Is vital to the growth and development of children

Can help reduce your risk for diabetes and cardiovascular disease
Can help you think clearly and may improve recall
Can improve your mood and boost your resistance to stress, anxiety, and depression
May help you maintain a healthy weight by curbing appetite, making you feel full longer, and fueling you with extra energy for exercising.
As well as being imperative to feeling healthy and energetic, protein is also important to the way you look. Eating high-quality protein can help:

Maintain healthy skin, nails, and hair
Build muscle
Maintain lean body mass while dieting
While most people eating a Western diet get sufficient quantity of protein each day, many of us are not getting the quality of protein we need.,,,,
