Thread: Muscletech Whey protein

I tried that stuff once and couldn't stop shitting my brains out. To many fillers and crap in that stuff.

Could be the taste, GI problems, haters, who knows? Not sure what the return policy is at Sam's, but if it's the same as Costco's then I would go for it. Doesn't look like a bad deal?
I tried muscle milk at Costco that gave me a lot of GI distress. Not a big deal, I just returned it.

Interesting, I really trying to figure out what makes a good protein.

and why some cost so much.

And what have you figured out so far?

I tried it once and it fucking sucks. Syntha for me.

You only get 20 grams of protein per 33 gram scoop.

Hmm I have read and read and read and am just sbout as confused about protein as I was when I started all of this LOL. by this measure Syntha-6 which I have really only seen great reviews and personally love the taste of (strawberry) is 50% filler 44G (1 Scoop) = 22G Protein http://gnc.imageg.net/graphics/produ...clabel_pdf.pdf
Not knocking anything just trying to learn. Is this something to look at when choosing PP

Maybe Fluff would be a better desription?

could be implied but I would assume that there are flavoring agents and texturizing additives.

the serving size in grams to the net grams of protein ration is what I am seeing is important.

Need to look at actual grams of protein per serving, serving size adn servings per container to calculate the net value.

It depends. If you don't mind paying for sugar and fat in your protein then no worries but man if you are dieting strict I would avoid a shake that is 12 grams of fat for 44 grams of protein.

But what about the proteins in the mix. Is it a quality of protein issue? I have posted on this before and all I get is "there are better options" out there. Can someone give me reasons why? Besides the taste issue?

I have looked @ serving size and protein per scoop, amino profiles

What do you consider when making a choice to purchase a certain brand of whey?

What makes a Whey worth 6.50 a pound or 12.00 per pound?


Thanks

muscletch products are the best out their bro. better then aas, use everything they offer all at once and ull gain 20 lbs every months! youll be ronnie coleman in about a year!

Calling it fluff doesn't really make sense to me. Since a concentrate would contain other parts of the source(milk), like sugar(lactose) which drives up the calories. This is a side effect of the extraction process, not fluff or a filler. I'm sure there is filler, but assuming total protein/total calories = filler% isn't accurate.

Damn and I just found Syntha-6 for less than $35 for 5lbs LOL

its cheap. i was using true mass for a while bought it for about 35bucks for 5lbs and i liked it

The Sam's Club protein is a good deal 70 servings 20g each for about 30 bucks. No GI issues but the ziploc seal tends to break, so I return it about halfway through and get a new one for free! so its like 105 servings for about 30 bucks.

The bad reviews are probably due to taste (choc is better than vanilla though) and the ziploc problem (once the bag was completely vac sealed and I had to cut it with a knife; i used it for about a week then returned it for a new one). Seriously take adbvantage of the return policy...it's their fault for switching to muscletech from EAS which was a better brand.

Obviously, there's better brands out there but this is an unbeatable deal.

Can't stand it myself. I absolutley hate Muscle tech for one over and I mean over hype the heck out of their products. They remake their products over and over and over again. I've tried Myofusion by Gaspari couple years ago and will never switch to anything else other then combat from Muscle Pharm. No trips to the bathroom and kind always find it over at Orbit.

Anyone ever use the Bulk Whey Protein Isolate. reads pretty good


13 different flavors, can be bought in bulk, price seems pretty good compared with other top quality 100% Issolates

cool you can like them on facebook and get another 7% off you purchase. would make 5lbs of Protein $48 and would make 50lbs $390

Interesting point. I wish they had more info on their packaging especially the Whey Products containg creatine. I cannot find the amount of creatine i per serving. could be very little but I like to know.

Thanks for posting I also like the bulk pricing

Anyone tried this? Flavor, texture, mixability. odors?

Saying a product contains 30% filler is saying that the product is garbage. You're misleading people on the board by making thoughtless assumptions. No it wasn't a minor point. You were wrong and needed to be corrected.

its pretty easy to see what the other "grams" in the powders are, example 44g serving has 25 grams of protein, 6 grams of fat, 10 grams of carbs, 500mg of this and 800mg of that if ya add them all up they should be really close to the 44G total of the serving size. Im gonna order at least two 2 lbs containers of the Nutra Bio so in a week or so I hope to be able to answer the mixability and taste questions. they also have a LOT of other products on there at good prices. Extreme Nitric Stack, any thoughts on these types of supps
