CamperBoy Posted August 6, 2016 Report Share Posted August 6, 2016 Buy online. If you can wait around 10 days, get it from iherb. If You need it ASAP, can get it from local sites. Not GNC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least for GNC...for the past month...everytime i passby their outlets (so far i have done this at 6 GNC shops)...i have already sampled all their <Whey Protein> products coz they do store a bottle of product-sample in their fridge...so thankfully, before i buy 2LB of the <GNC Whey Protein>, at least i confirm will like the taste & will be able to finish the whole 2LB. Anyone bought <Whey Protein> online only to regret the taste of the product? thx for sharing ur insights... blue050505 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CamperBoy Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 All the flavours are overrated. Best is still the unflavoured whey protein. The reason we are drinking protein is not for "tea break" or leisure. Protein is just needed to maximise our muscle growth as we grind hard in the gym. Just gulp it down quickly even if the taste is not to your liking. We are just telling you not to waste money on GNC products. But if you really like the flavour and that is the very important to you, I guess GNC's one is fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think given the description you wrote, and to be fair, GNC carries many brands of whey protein products. When others talk about purchase online, they are also talking about shops that sells different brands of whey protein, so in fact, it could be possible you guys are referring to the same product. Best to talk about brands than to talk about suppliers to prevent any misunderstanding.

Fit4Masc Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 (edited) I have been gyming for over 20 years....I go through stages. Initially very inspired by all those huge bodybuiders in those bodybuilding mags. Trained like crazy and put on 10kg in the first 2 years of starting regular gym workouts. I must have spent hundreds/Thousands of dollars on protein supplements and the likes over the years...Now in my early 50s I still gym regularly, to maintain my health and built. What I've learn over the 20+ years of training is....taking or not taking protein supplement don't make any noticeable difference to me. For me a balanced regular diet is much more important than protein supplements, Your genetics determines how far you can progress (of course sport enhancement drugs does helps, but they only works while you are on them and you revert back to your natural shape when you stop...so unless you want to be on them for the rest of your life and not to mention the exorbitant cost and damages to your health if you do them.... most of those famous international bodybuilders in the 80s and 90s were dead by the time they are in their mid 40s!) So my advise is not to spend your hard earned money on protein supplements... better spend them on good and enough food. Take a multi-vitamin in cycles if you want to ensure you get all the nutrition. If you want to add more protein into your diet....Egg whites are the best and the most digestible protein and its also the cheapest gram per gram compare to those rip off protein supplements.....each egg give about 8 to 13 grams of protein (depending on size and if you eat the yoke or not)..... I eat up to 6 eggs a day on top of my regular meals if I trained very hard, but I limit my yoke intake to 2 per day..

doncoin Posted October 4, 2016 Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 Bulking up is more than just protein shakes to be honest. It has more to do with your diet and calorie intake. Your goal is to have a high protein diet as suggested by @Fit4Masc. Egg whites, lean chicken, salmon, etc. Don't worry too much about weight, focus on shape. It is easier to bulk up a bit more, than sculpt down. Think of bodybuilders who are off season, they tend to be a bit heavier than lean down for competition. Instead of 3 meals per day, try breaking into 5 or 6. Snack things like almonds, or a protein bar in-between. So you are constantly eating and training. armitage 1 Quote Love.

You need to incorporate some strength training sessions otherwise your muscles won't be able to grow. barocco80 1 Quote Follow me at http://instagram.com/ytraymond =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
