Do you care mostly about cost, taste, ingredient quality?
Optimum Nutrition is pretty well known and respected in the lifting community. At least when I used to lift and visit the body building forums.
I also bought some NOW brand stuff that's unflavored. NO artificial sweeteners or any of that stuff in it.
Highest quality regardless of cost. Spending money is not an issue here.
Transparent labs, isopure and the recon ones I likeHighest quality regardless of cost. Spending money is not an issue here.
PES is good tooHmmm, I usually looked for value but you get what you pay for.
A lot of people are saying PES Select. Also check out https://www.stack3d.com/protein-wars - but beware this dude sponsors and is sponsored by some of the companies IMO.
Also if you REALLY want to get into the weeds, check out anabolicminds forum or bodybuilding.com
PES is good too
Ya, some of it was usually out of my price range I wanted to spend. But I've heard good things about Isopure and PES for sure. Optimum Nutrition (I mentioned earlier) was always kind of the default for a lot of guys. You could get a 10lb sack of it and it was a good mix of perceived quality vs price.
Did/do you like the Syntha-6 style stuff from BSN Labs? Or the Cytosport brand that makes Muscle Milk? They both get a fair amount of press/ads.
I am now making ice cream and bars with left over whet protein from muscle pharm. But too much bloatedness.
Any brand with high quality whey?
One of my favorite characters.

Absolutely. Wasnt sure if anyone would get the reference. Fat kitty reminded me of fat Clemenza chugging up those stairs to shotgun one of the heads of the 5 families.![]()
