Protein Supplements

[gretak911]

I know that this should probably go under the supplement board but I would like to get some feedback from powerlifters.

How many of you buy the premimum protein powders ie. myoplex, MetRx, etc. vs. the cheaper bulk protein powders that come in the big jugs.

While I agree that you should get as much protein in your diet from real food, I can't seem to find time to eat 5-6 big meals per day so I rely on shakes for breakfast and post workout. Am I wasting my money on the premium protein drinks when I could be getting the same results from cheaper bulk whey protein?

Any comments will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

I buy cheap bulk stuff. The other stuff is too expensive for me. It may be true your body absorbs slightly less of the cheap stuff, but that's hardly worth it to me. I'll just chug some more milk after my protein shake and call it even.

Thanks for the reply. I just found a site called www.allthewhey.com
Best prices on bulk protein I've seen so far.

cheap bulk = GOOD

Hey I don't drink top shelf whiskey either.

What ever works for you. I have a friend who cant drink any of the cheap stuff because it screws with his stomach, but i live off cheap bulk . It just depends on taste and money.

I mix the two together. One scoop cheap stuff, one a Pro complex. Save myself a little bit of money that way.
