Gym People - Best Protein Powder?
 

I'm doing some pretty heavy workout but not eating enough protein in my diet. I was told I should have a small amount of protein powder before workout and a small amount after for muscle repair.

Can you recommend a really top product which is supposed to be the best of class?

I want something I can mix with a milkshake that will be 100% healthy, no chemicals and is a well known brand which might be available around the globe?

Anything from RXWhey.com Proteins - Whey Protein - Prescription Nutrition

They use all pharmagrade protein with no fillers and junk like you find in OTC brands or brands found in GNC/Vitamin Shoppe. I suggest the Whey protein Hydroisolate (hydropro) or the cold filtered isolate

whey isolate in general is a pretty safe bet. anything else is a 'blend' and full of sugars and garbage you don't need. If you are adding it to a 'milkshake' you may want to make sure you aren't shooting yourself in the foot first. What do you want to add it to exactly? I just use it with water.

How much of that stuff do you take regularly? Thanks for the tip - because I definitely want as pure as possible protein with no extras. I don't want to really bulk up but I just want to make sure im consuming enough protein to maintain and repair. It's really tough because I don't actually eat much and I only work out once a week but yet my work out is pretty aggressive.

I was hoping to disguise the taste by putting it into a milkshake or just sprinkle it over my cornflakes in the morning or something.

The old met rx rocked but after he sold it,they changed the formula. I like muscle milk myself.

What is muscle milk? A long time back I used to eat raw eggs but I always it was risky.

And what about this one:

whey during the day and casein before bed
"a combination of whey and casein (20 grams) could be consumed one hour before and immediately after exercise for a sustained benefit on protein balance. Casein is a perfect protein for a shake before bed because it promotes a sustained anti-catabolic environment while you sleep."

amounts are debatable, generally people take far too much in my opinion. If you aren't trying to get huge 1 scoop a day on non workout days 2 on work out days is fine i'd say. The rest you should get from food, ie; eggs, fish, chicken.

best thing with isolate, i find anyway, is that you don't need to use as much.


raw eggs are perfectly safe these days, not that I'd ever do that, cooking them is easy and fast already. oh muscle milk? blend city.. some good dog kibble out there with less filler..

If youre looking for a whole food source just get pasturized egg whites and calorie free walden farms chocolate syrup. 8-12oz would be prefect for a "protein shake". Six star protein is garbage and so is muscle milk.

Muscle Milk is a crock of shit. Yeah has protein but too much sugar. If you can stomach it, go with a full chicken breast before and one after. Hour before and right after. Good for the pre load and the replenish afterwords. Try to get at least a gallon of water in your day, mixed with a cup or two of green tea or black coffee. If your hell bent on going with a powder, above Whey is your bet.. also, would not forget a creatine mix or better off pills as well. I've lifted for 8 years, and never once bought any of the high dollar shit you see in the stores or weightlift mags. My Wal Mart creaine pills, and chicken tits does good for me. Im still consuming in the area of 300mgs a day of protein via chicken, eggs, rice, oatmeal and some pork, but I'm on a pretty strong routine 5 days a week too.

Cocaine?

Why the fuck do people take that shit? Right now I walk 10km EVERY day and do weight lifting 3 times a week. If you want protein, eat chicken breast, tuna, beans, yoghurt, etc.

Exactly right. When I first got into lifting, I drank protein like a mother fucker, and worked out.. minimal, after about 2 months I put on nearly 40 lbs of flab... unless you can work the protein into muscle thru a shitload of training, you dont want to overload on it.

The honest truth is that its irrelevant until you fully understand proper training, proper diet, nutrition timing etc. Any random mainstream whey will do, because like 90%+ of people asking these kinds of questions, you are making so many mistakes in so many areas of training, that its completely irrelevant to nit pick tiny differences in products.

Im using my Door way Gym and it help me to better fit my body

Chicken, Steak, Tuna, Fish in general, pork all meats, Cut the carbs to 50% of your normal.

I also add a bit of protein shake into my coffee in the am, but its like a half teaspoon. Nothing more than that. the 1 bottle of it I have i have had for more than 6 months.

And use Honey as a sweetner in any shake you drink.

Egg white.

I think Whey is good protein

I've been using Carnivor beef protein. No sugar.

whey is for ladies. steroids and hgh is for men.

I bought the Arnold Iron Whey in the big green bottle.
It's 70 servings per container which is more than most and at Sams club was $42 for the great big container.
Mix it with milk for a shake in the morning and then water after a workout.
1 hour work outs 3 days a week.
I'd like to get testosterone to add energy and general feeling better at 40 but I haven't been to the dr. to get tested yet either.

These look really good. and NO SUCROSE etc.... is hard to find these days.

Aspartame etc.... out the ass

Whey Protein is what i will definitely recommend. been using it for years ever since i started hitting the gym. give it a try and lemme know if it works on you too :)

Look here captain lard ass. Take it from a pro fucking athlete like myself. I eat protein shakes miilnimum 6 times per day

In the gym? Protein
Takin a shit? Protein
Banging my dime gf? Protein
Me banging your hoe? Protein

I eat sleep fuck protein. Im a fucking bear in the gym.

Ill take you to the squat rack and squat so much fucking weight it will make your head spin. Im silly.

Ill eat 3 chickens after a workout and down a litre of coffee before hitting the gym an hour later. Im on fucking edge 24 hours a day.

I guarantee you your workout is for pussies. You probably follow your workout with a snickers.

Im ripped chump. Fucking nutty.

which brand u recommend bro

Do you rub that trash on your vagina during your period?

Always go all natural, gluten free, no dairy, plant based, no soy. And you are good from there. I like warrior blend.

I'm on a calorie restricted diet of around 1800. It's practically impossible for me to reach my desired amount of protein without using protein powder.

I personally use brown rice protein powder because I'm a dirty vegan hippie. It's tasteless but has a really horrible consistency.

25 gram serving has 400 kilojoules and 20 grams of protein.

Jay Robb protein powder comes in whew and egg white. Is delicious, no junk in it and sweetened with stevia. They make sure the cows are grass fed and no hormones in them. They have small packets of it at whole foods for like $2 if you want to try it. I think its terrific

Yep on top of that reason you mentioned (calorie restricted diets), people also live busy lives, protein is a supplement, why do people take vitamins? , same thing. some people are at their jobs or on the way to or back from their work, then they go home, shower, wind down and goto bed. not everybody wants to sit there and count their protein intake every day. its a way of being sure. 150-200g of protein is harder than you think to obtain. A can of tuna has the most protein and its only 30g, not alot of people like cottage cheese and tuna. and even if they did, they'd need to eat how many cans? i bet there are alot of people that goto my gym who aren't getting enoguh protein for their weightlifting lifestyle

how about vegans/vegetarians, also hard to get in enough protein. there are ways, its just a hassle when you live a busy life

I am vegan and a master swimmer. Although not into building body mass, I have a solid body core. My proteins come mostly from Almonds and other power nuts.
