Protein AND Gainer? - Ausbb

19-02-2010, 12:46 PM

Hey guys,

Just a couple of quick questions. Its come time to purchase my supps again, and want a bit of clarification before hitting that 'Confirm Order' button.

Do i use a Protein (natural or 100% ON Gold Standard) AND a Gainer (Universal Real Gains?)

Or is that wasting time and money, and better off sticking with one or the other?

Also... With regards to the protein... Optimum Nutrition 100% Gold Standard? Or Natural WPC from Proteindirect.com.au ???

I use the WPI & WPC from Proteindirect it's good value.
i would just drink in plenty milk for a weight gainer.

WPI AND the WPC??

Why both?

Shane7 · 19-02-2010, 01:13 PM

Cause i wanted some banana flavored, otherwise i would have just got wpi.

Wpc is all thats needed for day to day use.

Besides during training you want bca's and carbs.

Protein chains need to be broken down into specific amino acids to be utilised this takes time. amino acids are already in a usable state...

Half way through workout i start on bca's l-arginine creatine l-carnitine and dextrose.. finish training i have 2 scoops wpc, then its off to find a complete meal.. The shake is to fit in in case there is traffic or something delays my nutrition it is not my soul source/

Blake,
WPC is fine. If you want a gainer add natural peanut butter and drink it with full cream milk or add oats.

I'd go here for my whey supplements instead of what you have chosen: http://www.fitnesscentral.com.au/

The place you have chosen gets his powders from the US. I personally prefer the Australian and New Zealand whey (and I told him so). Granted not all your manufacturers are the same, I had never in all my years of involvement in the iron sports had a better and cleaner tasting whey powder than I received from Fitness Central. And I'm talking about the plain one not the flavoured stuff. If your base product (whey) is not up to scratch then you've got no hope of achieving the results you were hoping for when you add the flavouring etc.

Fadi,

I was looking at buying the $400+ bag of NZ protein from proteindirect.com.au

Being a kiwi myself, i'd prefer to have NZ protein aswell

Would that be suitable?
