I would ditch that vile tasting overpriced poor quality protein blend you are using in flavour of some quality protein from No Bull or Bulk Nutrients. I prefer No Bull as you can split your 5kg order into 5 different flavours of any combination you like. While BN still refuses to do so.
Hi all,
I'm new hear so please be nice.
I've just started a bodybuilding program (5weeks deep) to put on some mass and gain strength with the long term goal of winninga powerlifting comp later on down the track.s.
Big call mate, i would probably trust Optimum Nutrition over most of the local companies as far as purity to be honest... There is certainly nothing vile tasting about it, and overpriced is another big call
So you would trust a company selling you cheap protein at a high price with a fancy label over one actually selling protein??
How can you trust a company who sells a protein powder, but refuses to tell you what is actually in it and in what ratios, read the label mate. Its blend of 4 different proteins in unknown quantities of WPC, and even cheaper milk protein with some (unknown amount as they do not tell you what is in it) WPI thrown in, along with fillers and other questionable ingredients all sold to you at a WPI price.
So your money might buy you 10-15% unknown fillers, 25% cheap milk protein, 25% WPC and 26% WPI and the rest made up of cheap fillers like creatine, lecithin etc
Well taste is subjective I guess, but the last lot of ON Protein I bought (Rocky Road) tasted vile and ended up as land fill (probably the best place for it really).
Worry less about your supps and more about your program.
What is it?
Eat to your macro requirements. Whey is good cause it gives alot of protein with relatively few carbs compared to alot of other foods.
Creatine maybe if yoir keen. But definietly not a deal breaker.
The rest is all bullshit.

They are in the business of selling supplements.But the supp plan seemed a little excessive:
Pre-workout, BCAA's, Vitargo (carbohydrate), whey protein, casein, thermogenic, creatine, multi-vitamin and fish oil.
I don't know if this is legit or just a marketing ploy from bodybuilding.com.
Thanks guys.
The program I'm following is Kris Gethins 12 week daily video trainer (a video to watch before each workout).
Bodybuilding.com - 12 Week Daily Trainer With Kris Gethin!
I've found the program pretty fun and challenging (especially leg days where you consider using the disabled toilet for a week afterwards!)
I've put 1.5inches on my arms in 5 weeks!!! (14inch guns lol)
This is the 'diet' plan, he recommends 200g of protein per meal (grams of meat not actually macro content) and 200g slow digesting carbs.

Sounds like your quoting the BN thread from a while back. Mate i get what your saying and if it was some ebay protein company or some other newbie company selling "cheap" protein i wouldnt have commented on what you said but ON Gold standard is a staple protein in the industry, Optimum nutrition are a massive well respected company that isnt a "cheap alternative" they were around before BN were mate.
As far as taste thats a personal preference, i love BN protein and the taste and buy it myself but i dont believe in bashing any company that hasnt been proven to be false. I havent seen anywhere where ON Gold standard has been proven to be bad protein powder...
