Heres my experience over the years:

ON Gold Standard Whey - watery. But tats how i like it.

ON Nitrocore24 - thick, since its a combo protein formula.

Gaspari MyoFusion - thickest combo, like milkshake. I think the probiotics gave me some runs.

BSN Syntha-6 - a watery combo. Great taste. I like this.

Nutrabolics Isobolic - sweet combo. Cant remember anything good/bad about it.

MHP Probolic-SR - worst tasting combo. yuck.

RonnieC Pro-Antium - ok combo. Got little bits of wafer/cookie in it.

Nutrabolics Mass Fusion - thick gainer, super sweet.

Elite Mass Muscle Gainer - another thick n super sweet gainer.

Dymatize Elite Whey - similar to ON GSW, but very sweet.

Dymatize Elite Mass - a watery gainer, almost tasteless compared to others. I like this.

Happy chugging

what is combo?

you mean whey protein blend?

Lmao do u even need to say combo? I don't understand what combo ur talking about

Btw is it even hard to mention all of the flavor? Pointless thread

CnT Are all of these available in Msia? Roughly how much for ON Gold Standard 2/3kg?

Newbie here, thinking of getting some protein powder but not sure which. Reviews for the ON Gold Standard are pretty good!

What about Dymatize Nutrition Elite Whey Protein Powder? Looking at Amazon, they are priced similarly..

You can check out some of the online store.

https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1783620

Pls dont buy it from GNC. Overpriced products.

ON Gold Standard is on par with Dymatize Elite. Both of them are good. Some might said Dymatize is bang for the buck.
Personally, Im using ON bcos it is less sweeter than Dymatize's Elite Whey. I dont like sweet stuff.
You could try both.

Anyone here taking scitec nutrition supplement?

For flavour, i can only comment on ON

double chocolate is okay
extreme milk chocolate taste bad
mocha cuppocino is above average
french vanilla is bad
normal vanilla is worse

dymatize elite whey and ON 100% whey is not priced similarly, dymatize is definitely cheaper than ON.

but quality wise both are the best in the market.

Sorry noob question..

What if you have taken protein supplement but stop workout?

I am curious because by taking protein supplement can gain muscle fast.. So what if this person stop workout will his body remain muscle all the time?

You need to read both on nutrition and supplement.

I never bought protein supplement.. I was curious because the same person start workout with me had gained muscle grow faster than me..

But since he was skinnier than me thus he needs the protein whereas I can build by my own protein.. Lol

He is skinnier hence he needs protein shakes? Howndo you build your own protein?

Then you're wasting your time buying supplement. Opssss i guess u got lied and there's no such thing as supplement can build muscle faster.

Thats what he said when i ask him..

Im weight at 129kg previously.. Then drop to 115kg.. Latest 112kg.. So i guess my body big enough to build muscle.. No?

Im taking 4 to 5 eggs in morning, chicken breast at lunch and fish and 3 to 4 eggs during dinner.. Hence i think i have enough protein by my own..

Or maybe i am wrong at this.. Correct me pls if im wrong..

Whenever i go to fitness center or gym center most of them told me that protein supplement can grow muscle faster than none takers..

At first im bought on this but after taking some time to think on this, my body big enough to build muscle by mu own.. Or am i wrong on this..

Help me pls.. Always wanted to buy protein supplement but my skeptical thinking avoid me to buy..

You need to read a lot on nutrition. Proteins are not magic muscle builders, and you being big has nothing to do with protein supply. The stickies are here to help. Then look up on why you need/don't need protein shakes. This article by BB gives a good insight:

http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/why-you-need-whey.html

If you can't be bothered to read, then I'm sorry to say that there is no other way we can help you out.
.

Ok understand on the important of protein..

Thanks a lot..

Any recommended protein supplement u can suggest?

No you gt it wrong in fact there's misunderstood here. Have you actually read the word "supplements'? There's no such thing as supplement can help u grow muscle faster. Nutrition is the main thing and the key of everything. If your nutrition is whacked then ur won't getting gainz

After reading BB now a bit understand of protein supplement..

Getting wrong information from fitness and gym center i guess..

Now am thinking to buy one..

As i said if ur nutrition is not on point then don't bother thinking of buying supplement

you're 112kg ,im imagining you fat. if i were you, i wont be worrying bout protein so much.

you need to cut your fat, use google to calculate the amount of calories you need to maintain you current weight (BMR and TDEE), use that as a guideline, and eat lesser than that calories amount. we call it calories deficit. cut your fat first, then only your inner muscle will show. until then only worry bout your daily protein intake.

How to check on that?

Lol so much broscience

Yes.. 112kg with 181cm..

Am in cutting and bulking stage but when i look most of them drinking protein made me think should I consume too?

As at now my goal to achieve 82 - 85 kgs with 20bf..

When will be a good time for me to consume protein then?

I was lying on my bed surfing the forum and had to wake up to save you from broscience.

What he said ^ was half right.

1) You need to know your TDEE and eat slight lower to have a deficit. You will lose weight by doing so.
---> http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=156380183 OR you can use MyFitnessPal ( http://www.myfitnesspal.com/ )

2) Read up what are macro & micronutrients
---> http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=2845231

3) The reason your friend is making gainz because he fulfilled his macro. You eating 5-6 eggs definitely not enough to hit your protein goal at your weight.
Refer to 1) to find out how much macro (carbs/protein/fat) that you need to hit daily.

4) Do you need protein supplement? Refer to 3). If you can hit your macros by eating FOOD only, then protein shakes will NOT be necessary.
---> A dietary supplement is intended to provide nutrients that may otherwise not be consumed in sufficient quantities.


I do hope you spend 15 mins reading those links provided above.

haha, was trying to explain in more layman terms, guess i failed that

protein supplement is only needed when you're not eating enough protein from your daily food. it is not neccesarily needed.

but it has been a trend now ppl still drink protein shakes whether or not ppl had enough protein intake from their daily food.

track your food macronutrients (broscience again im sorry). you can use fitnesspal apps to see the nutrients in the you took daily. from there to see how many proteins, carbohydrates, fats you eat daily. and from there also you know how much total calories you took to reach your goal. in your case, calories deficit.

sorry, beginners just have to digest all this, cause you google everywhere or reading stickies here, they all just came up somewhat things like i said.

Thanks for waking up from ur bed for my querries.. Really appriciate that..

Im using Lose It! Apps for my calorie deficit and it helps me a lot..

Will read on the links provided to understand further on micro and macro..

Learn a lot today..

Try a keto diet. Lots of people have had success with it especially really overweight ones as it's damm effective since your body is actively burning body fat.

Low Carb is the new healthy and proven lifestyle

Keto diet burn body fat instead of carbo..

I did low carb intake but seems that my body still fail to burn fat effectively.. Lol..

^ Regardless of whatever u eat, caloric deficit + exercise is all u need to loose fats.

Calorie deficit - done

Lose fat - only water fat lost now.. Body fat seems stagnant..

And how long have you done keto diet lah?

I nvr heard of keto diet b4.. But i did low carb intake..

For me workout is the most effective way to lose fat.. Thats why I nvr bother to learn abot those diets such as atkins..

Think I can learn a bit about keto diet..

Tell me your TDEE and the calory you are taking in now. List down your meal plan.

Keto is a low carb, medium protein and high fats diet.

You did low carb intake? If you have a low carb intake, where do you think your body gets energy from? It's either from fats or protein. The last thing you would want is your body using protein as energy source via Glycogenesis.

Atkins/Keto diet advocates eating high healthy fats such as saturated, monosaturated and polyunsaturated fats.

http://www.youmeworks.com/whylowcarb.html

It's not just workout, if you think it's the most effective then you're wrong. It's a combination of 3:

Nutrition (the food you eat) + workout + Sleep

how about gaspari?

sad truth, started research and read stickies. back then finish 1 tub also minimal small gain

now i know how important nutrition is, previously cut this food cut that food drink protein thinking its easy gain but failed

I believe it's glucaneogenesis . Glycogenesis is the synthesis of glycogen from glucose with the help of insulin . Correct me if I'm wrong lol.

Protein drink is not magic, it doesn't turn you buff overnight. Just take it as a supplement, especially during workout days.

And you need quality sleep also. No matter how good your nutrition is or how intense your workout is, if you don't have adequate and quality sleep, you're not gonna see the result

Yeah my bad, wrong word used

many people said muscletech better than both. true?

many people said muscletech better than both. true?

Erm most people?

It doesn't matter which brand is the best. It's all comes down to your diet and workout.

Doesn't matter brah protein is protein

protein is protein then tempeh is protein bro

Celltech even better

But tempeh is from soy and soy have estrogen. You want that female hormone issit?

read the article please. until now no evidence that soy protein increases estrogen level liao

Yeah man. Just like they don't have evidence that says mass gainers using cheap ass low quality ingredient in it. Some says that there are rat feces traces.

^

and amino spikes on whey protein..

Musclepharm whey any good?

^

read amino spikes about muscle pharm. better dymatize iso, muscletech nitro, or optimum. if you wanna build huge muscle should aim muscletech nitro since it aims to body builder

No, get celltech for that.

What if i just wanna maintain lean muscle, any better whey than musclepharm?

Celltech

protein is protein bruh

Ok

why not mix the nitro with celltech? it will work best. celltech just a creatine bro.

nitrotech has creatine, no?

protein isolate for fat people since it make you full while nitro tech muscle tech for bulking one

Currently I'm only using ON gold standard protein powder mostly for my workout days. Do you guys use something else like Casein or BCAAs ?

I asked staff at GNC once about that matter, he said there already is BCAA in the whey , just that not that much.

Is it worthwhile to buy standalone BCAA to supplement our whey?
Damn means i wasted buying one tub of musclepharm whey if u guys said it is spiked amino mostly.

whats the huu haa here which protein powder is good?

just eat clen, tren hard,test your limit, anavar give up!

There's no specific protein for bulking or cutting. Protein is protein.
Please have a read here : http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=156380183

Whey protein is more than enough.

Well if you have the money then why not but what is your purpose of getting BCAA?
