Whey Protein

Archive for the ‘Whey Protein Nutrition’ Category

Ok, I am 20yrs old, about 5′6 155 pounds and I am looking to gain maybe ten more pounds,but lean muscle with bigger arms,chest and a six pack. My question is which should i use while doing p90x, 100% whey protein or cyto sport muscle milk?

Note: trying to get lean, not huge

P90X is an athletic program more then a body building program. Because of this, a better choice would be a protein blend, such as CytoSport muscle milk. Fyi: the P90X recovery drink is also a protein blend, It’s just very much over-priced for what it is. it’s no more "magical" then any others.

Do you "need" it? Absolutely not – but it does help provide a fast absorbing nutritional "supplement" to your workouts and re-fuel glycogen stores. Supplement means, "in addition to REAL food". Shakes are not meal replacements.
Be sure to follow the nutrition program of P90x. The combined program (workout + nutrition) works. One without the other – does not!

I have used ON for a long time:) I have found an all natural chemical free whey protein minus the fillers and additives. They also have other flavors that are yummy!

Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Protein Gold Vs. Body Fortress Whey Protein?

Besides the price, whats the difference between the Body Fortress whey protein found in walmart and the Optimum Nutrition whey protein gold?
..The Body Fortress is cheaper plus it has more protein and BCAAs per scoop…

Is the Optimum whey worth the extra cost?

I"m 6 foot about 150 pounds, just trying to bulk up and gain some muscle mass.

Really they are both intended mainly to just get you some extra protein, neither will give you more muscle unless of course you get the great work out in it. They both work the same, the difference is their servings per container and the calories. I go for the one which has more protein, to do this just multiply the servings by the protein (grams) and you get which has more protein. Gold standard is always more expensive, that’s because of the name they built for them self. If you work hard you’ll be just fine with whatever you chose.
