www.wheycheap.com

$20.99 for 5lbs only cinnamon bun flavor. Shipping is $5.99 flat. Can buy up to 3.

wheycheap is like woot but for supplements so only good for today or until they run out.

 

[conorvansmack]

Cinnamon bun? Sounds like a "winner" fer sure.

 

[KoolDrew]

I'll pass on cinnamon bun flavored protein powder...

 

[Lamont Burns]

To each their own, but I like this flavor.

 

[Jinru]

I just bought a tub an hour ago. The reviews of this flavor over at bodybuilding.com gave very high scores so I decided to give it a try.

 

[M0oG0oGaiPan]

I like this flavor a lot. However, it doesn't give you as many options for custom shakes if you like to add in fruit or whatever. Their other flavor cupcake batter gets a lot of good reviews but I'm not a big fan of it. This stuff mixes pretty well. Sometimes it clumps up in my oatmeal.

There's also a 5lb twinpack of Dymatize Elite Whey on fitrx.com for $60 shipped. Use coupon "FALL2009". Expires Nov 11. I've had the strawberry and it's pretty tasty. Definitely not as good as syntha-6's strawberry but good. Doesn't clump up too badly in oats.

I didn't think about the oatmeal option. That might actually be a winner. I'm still passing, but it has potential.

Buy cheap get cheap. This is more true for whey supplements than most other things. When you buy cheap whey you are getting concentrate which is poorly absorbed and hence much less bioavailable for muscle uptake. Why would you waste all that hard work in the gym and them drink a cheap whey concentrate and piss away all those potential gains? Doesn't make sense to me. Especially when you can get pure whey isolate for just a few dollars more per week (e.g. AST VP2 $27/2lbs or ON Platinum Hydrowhey $29/2lbs @ supplementwarehouse.com). If money is that big of a pinch then I would still use the high quality and just have less, since you will still probably be absorbing more.

If all you care about is taste then who cares? Eat a friggin fudge sundae. There's plenty of whey in ice cream.

I know plenty of people who have gotten very big, strong, and lean while eating whey concentrate. Eating whey concentrate is not nutritionally equivalent to eating ice cream.

Also, TrueProtein.com beats those prices handily and gives you a lot more flexibility when it comes to flavors and other add-ins.

This is no doubt very nonbiased and reliable information coming from someone who advertises for "Trueprotein.com" in their sig. C'mon man...really?

TrueProtein.com sells many varieties of whey protein isolate. My comment on whey concentrate vs whey isolate have nothing to do with my signature. That is a poor attempt at an ad hominum argument. If anything, my signature would suggest that I am familiar with protein supplementation and might happen to know a thing or two about it.

I keep a training log on these forums. Feel free to check it out. If you would like to compare the results of our respective dietary choices as they relate to lifting accomplishments and body composition, please let me know.

As for the prices and flexibility, that is a statement of fact. The two protein products you mentioned cost $13.50 and $14.50 per pound. Here is a list of whey protein isolate powders available at TrueProtein.com and their prices.
Whey Protein Isolate (CFM) Cross-Flow Microfiltration - $10.49/lb
Whey Protein Isolate Cold-Filtration - $7.89/lb
Whey Protein Isolate Ion-Exchange -$9.99/lb
Whey Protein Isolate Microfiltrated - $9.99/lb
Whey Protein Isolate Ultra-Filtration $8.79/lb

There are 58 different flavors to choose from that can be mixed in any protein or sold separately in flavor packs with unflavored protein. You can choose one of four different sweeteners.



Cliffs: Yes, really. You fail.

If anything, your signature would suggest that you are vested in that particular product and hence can not be relied upon to give unbiased information about it.

BTW, their hydrolyzed whey isolate is $18.99/lb. That is MUCH more expensive (about $5/lb) than the comparable, trusted, name brand proteins I listed. Thanks but no thanks.

Why don't you tell us what your role is with trueprotein.com? Are you a fanboy, sales rep, employee, owner? Is it a pyramid sales thing? I assume you are getting a commission for people you refer to the website with that discount code.

For someone who's been here longer than just about everyone else, it seems you spend very little time in H&F. If you did, you'd know that crt1530's a big help in this forum and you wouldn't be so mindlessly defensive. You might also stop to think before you make accusations. Relaaaaaaaaaaax. It's just protein.

Wow. What the hell does it matter? Buy whey where it's cheap and tastes good. Whey concentrate is less processed and works fine. You don't have to be rich to supplement with whey like the isolate-users like people to think. Let it go and let people buy their whey however they feel.

I just checked the prices at SupplementWarehouse. The AST VP2 costs $36.25 or $39.75 depending on which flavor you get. That's $18.13 and $19.88 per pound. The Optimum Nutrition Hydro Whey does not come in 2lb containers. They are either 1.75 or 3.5lb, which cost $17.14 and $15.43/lb respectively. Also, these products are not 100% hydrolyzed whey protein. Hydrolyzed whey isolate is very bitter, and the supplement companies generally mix in 20% hydrolyzed with 80% non-hydrolyzed isolate. Read the description of the hydrolyzed whey on TrueProtein.com. They only recommend it as part of a mixture.

I used to purchase from SupplementWarehouse in the past and was pleased with their price matching policy. However, their customer service is nonexistent and their shipping is not very fast. I purchased some Optimum Nutrition creatine from them and they shipped me glutatmine instead. When I contacted them regarding their mistake, they completely ignored me. If anyone on here wants to purchase price-matched brand name supplements, I recommend that they call up Bodybuilding.com. They will price match anything you find online and their customer service and shipping are the best in the business (even better than TrueProtein.com). They are big enough to have 24 hour a day telephone support and ship faster than just about everyone except Amazon.com.

I recommend TrueProtein.com because it's where I buy my protein and creatine. I do so because they offer low prices and give me complete control over what I put in my body. They don't have any products with "proprietary blends," and they don't sell any prohormones (unlike AST), so I know that there will not be any cross contamination in my protein and creatine powders. If people want to buy brand name supplements, I would recommend they call Bodybuilding.com. I have had nothing but positive experiences when I bought from them. I would also recommend that they stay away from SupplementWarehouse.com.

Why don't you address my comment about whey concentrate instead of attacking me personally?

Finally, since you keep bringing up my signature, I would like to point out that the 5% discount will bring the price of the hydrolyzed whey down to $18.04/lb, which is cheaper than both versions of the AST VP2 at SupplementWarehouse. I still wouldn't recommend that people buy it, though. The cheaper whey isolates are much better tasting and nobody will notice any difference from a nutritional standpoint.

For people who have trouble digesting lactose, the added cost of whey isolate is definitely worth it. The additional cost of hydrolyzed whey is definitely not worth it. It tastes very bitter and you are paying almost double the price for the theoretical possibility of having your protein digest a bit quicker.

 

[The Sauce]

I think we have hashed this out well enough for now. Didn't mean to start such a ruckus. Simply trying to comment that there are different qualities of Whey. I always believe inpaying for quality - personal philosophy.

 

[The Sauce]

CRT would not answer my question about his involvement with trueprotein.com. For anyone who is interested, here is what they wrote me in response to an email about it:

"For every 300 dollars in sales he refers to us in new customer sales [with the discount code] we issue 8 lbs. of free protein."

So it turns out that there is a vested interest in the trueprotein product...after all. Just so you know, I do not get paid for any of the advise I give on these forums. It tends to ruin the credibility of anything you have to say.

 

[M0oG0oGaiPan]

If you don't like the protein, then don't buy it. Eat some eggs or something.

Don't use milk products if you're lactose intolerant is where I stand It's a supplement for a reason - not a necessity.

And as for The Sauce's tattling - grow up. Everyone has an agenda. He promotes whey and gets free stuff. Wouldn't you too if you had the chance?

 

[The Sauce]

Maybe, but I wouldn't try to hide it, and I would not act like an expert on the subject just to try to push a product for personal gain. That's just dishonest. I was under the impression that the forum policies frowned upon people soliciting products here. If no one cares, thats ok...my bad. I usually llike to know if the information I am getting is genuine or if someone else is profitting from it. I'm sure he loves the stuff and he swears by it. It might be great stuff. That's not the issue. I just think that when someone here is pushing a particular product that it is good to disclose your involvement with it. Trying to keep the forums honest. That is all I have to say. Done.

Had you not made such a big fuss I probably wouldn't have noticed the website trueprotein. I'm playing around with a few MRP type mixes and might actually purchase some. And if I can hook up CRT in the process, even better.

 

[crt1530]

Wow.

I wasn't hiding anything. Of course I get a kickback. I would think that most people on a tech savvy internet forum would understand how coupon codes work in the year 2009. I ignored your question about my signature because you never responded to my assertions and just chose to attack me personally. I decided to stay on topic instead of defending myself against an ad hominem argument.

Your suggestions sucked and I provided reasons for why they sucked. I also provided alternatives which were much better and gave reasons for why they were better. If I was just out to get kickbacks, I wouldn't have bothered mentioning Bodybuilding.com.

 

[TallBill]

Ok crt130, now help me build some mixes on the cheap. Maybe I should make a new thread about it.
