Best Protein Powder For Gaining Muscle?

[caffeinecowboy]

How is ON 100% Whey compared to BSN Syntha-6 whey?

They are two completely different types of proteins. ON 100% Whey is just that. Syntha-6 is a blended protein. While Syntha-6 can be taken any time of the day, ON 100% Whey is more effective post-workout and first thing in the AM. My personal opinion is that ON 100% will provide more total health benefits also.

Has anybody tried probolic 12 hr muscle feeder? Wondering how well that would work.

Casein is a slow-release protein that is best to be taken before bed, rebuilding muscle tissue while you are sleeping.

Thanks. Have you taken it? Is it worth the purchase?

When is the best time of day to use Muscle Pharm Combat Powder. Lets say its on a day where i go to the gym at 11. do i want to take it pre or post workout? nighttime? help is appreciated thank you

I just bought a 4.4 pound bottle of this stuff... I'm waiting for it to come in the mail... ON makes it... anyone try it before??

i have been using pro complex and im about through my first bucket... its awesome stuff, not to mention you can literally mix 8oz of powder with 2oz of water and it STILL mixes water thin... i use more water then that but just an example, i have the rocky road flavor, it tastes like hot cocoa that you let cool to room temperature, not bad at all

[Murban]

If you want to gain lean mass and muscle and all of that do you need to take a weight gaining protein? or will normal way, casein, and or egg protein suffice?

i wouldnt take a weight gainer for this, only because i believe its made to sort of fatten you up a little but turns to muscle fast, i took smart gainer and i gained about 30 lbs(i took it the first day i started in the gym in a long while) but i noticed my body fat percentage rising so i stopped taking it and switched to a lot lower calorie protein mix, ON's pro complex, plus it has even more protein then smart gainer

hope that helps

syntha-6 has been working for me.

My vote is for ON 100% Whey as well. I'm sure most others are great as well, but I've been using their product for years.

How do you guys feel about ON Pro Complex, or that new ON Nitro Core 24?

I was considering getting a jug for some variation since Whey constitutes like 50-60% of my protein intake... Anyone use and like either of those?

Why don't you eat more solid foods? They are more complete forms of protein. I had two chicken breast and got over 100g protein. Super simple. Two shakes equals another 82g. That's my daily I'm shooting for.

The best time to take cassein is before bed. It is a very slow absorbing protein that forms a gel in your stomach slowly releasing amino acids. It helps to prevent muscle being broken down while you sleep! Good stuff! Not as tasty as whey though. I never look forward to taking it.

I used Whey Protien by Weider 500grms.but not found any result.i gained only 500grms.
my diet was milk two times and meat 1/4 daily...

Weight gainers are just that weight gainers. It will increase your muscle mass from the protein, but also your BF most likely. BTW fat doesn't convert to muscle .

[jinchoy]

i used whey protein. gonna see how it turns out.

I just wish it wasn't so expensive, or I would definitely try it. Right now I'm using Cytogainer during the day - 2 servings of 3 scoops each, so 1.5 of the recommended servings along with a serving of ON 100% Casein at night.

you can make a weight gainer shake on your own, you just need to drink more than just whey though, youll need some more carbs and fats. plus at home you can manipulate the macros better. want more carbs? add oatmeal, some fats? add some almonds or flax. if you want even more calories but dont want to drink as much add milk. things like that

I know. Unfortunately, the problem is that I'm often running around or working or something, so don't have access to a blender or anything - need to be able to shake or spoon-mix easily and quickly.

If cost weren't an issue, I'd say CNP ProPeptide or ON Pro Complex. But at 1/3 the price I go for ON Gold Standard, which gives best bang for buck.

Casein is a slow-release protein that is best to be taken before bed, rebuilding muscle tissue while you are sleeping.

Agreed...I have been using ON's Casein for a while now, but I'm not sure whether I would bother buying Casein again as I've seen some information going round (okay mainly on protein manufacturer sites) that Casein is far less efficient than Whey at rebuilding muscle.

For me I think I will spend the money saved on buying a separate Casein stack on a Whey Isolate with as high % protein value as poss. Although ON 100% is fantastic.

I think Optimum's 100% Whey Protien is amazing and does the job thats needed!

DAMN SON! Where do you find your chicken... haha.. the chicken i eat is like 28g per breast.. i need to find me some chicken like that!

[bawdybuilder]

Pro Complex is a far supperior protein than any other, in my opinion all other are cheep blends of a lot of things your body doesnt need

This sounds like what I do

[Joelsopher]

DAMN SON! Where do you find your chicken... haha.. the chicken i eat is like 28g per breast.. i need to find me some chicken like that!

yeah, lol they must be ****in huge chicken breast.

mm then again canned chicken is 15g protein per 1/3 can, so theres 45g of protein right there, so about 90g in total if you eat two.. pretty decent if u ask me :P

lol i've never had canned chicken.. i didnt even know they canned chicken.... that just doesnt even sound right.. lol tuna is the only thing that should be canned ha.

I was using Optimum's 100% Whey Protein but then I switched to their Pro Complex since it happened to be on sale. It has more Protein per serving, a diverse protein blend from 8 other sources, and a whole lot more BCAA's. It's worth the try if you're looking for something new.

[Nutrishop15]

Pro 5 has my vote. with only 145 calories and 32g of protein per scoop its a great lean muscle builder. it also has whey and casein protien in it. The taste is amazing. All Flavors

[user94984100999]

I have had my best results with muscle milk and 100% Casein.

[MMAstrength]

Any of you guys heard of Big Frog nutrition? I got some samples for our MMA fighter and wondered if it was good. got 21 g protein all whey isolate and 42g dextrose

[lozza63]

I am not sure if this product is available outside of NZ, but as a flight crew member who is constantly in different hotels I could not find a better product to pack in my suitcase.
It is similar to canned tuna in springwater. Very high in protein and low in fat it is a great addition to my daily protein intake.
Is there anything similar in the US I could try?

Here is the link to this product: http://www.chop-chop.co.nz/

Your thoughts on this product would be appreciated.
