Reddit mentions of BSN SYNTHA-6 Whey Protein Powder, Micellar Casein, Milk Protein Isolate, Chocolate Milkshake, 48 Servings (Packaging May Vary)

What do you dislike about using 2 scoops? Is it the additional calories, or value for money? Because I just compared it with 4 other random protein powders on Amazon (on the first page of results), and at current prices, you get considerably more protein per dollar than the others.

protein per serving * servings per container / price

EAS: 49.8
BSN: 26.4
MusclePharm: 32.5
MyProtein: 22.7
ON: 30.6

Edit: For the record, the place I've been buying EAS from sells it for $40/5lb bag, so I've been getting about 37.7g/$

>all I want is a little boost on my gains

Sadly there is no supplement for this, unless you count protein powder...

Honestly all you need is some plain creatine monohydrate, and solid whey protein.

If you are under 40 you don't need a pre-workout, you should have natural energy and you can just eat a piece of fruit before hitting the gym, all you are paying for in most supplements is caffeine. Granted I would say caffeine is a welcomed boost after a low sleep night.

In summary

• Protein Powder
  
  
• Creatine
  
  
• Caffeine (If you need a boost once in a while)

This is the bare minimum for what I need when I do p90x.

• 10 lb dumbbell
  
• 20 lb dumbbell
  
• 30 lb dumbbell
  
  Over time, you can collect more and more. I now have dumbbells ranging from 5-40lbs, but I think I need to get some 50 or 60 lbs as well.
  
  
• pull-up bar.
  
  As for supplements, these are what I use.
  
  Protein: Helps with recovery and building muscle.
  
  Creatine: Generally helps with endurance/energy during exercises. I found when I began including this in my supplementation, I could usually do a few more reps, which really helps you with muscular hypotrophy, which helps you wear out your muscles more in a workout, so they breakdown and rebuild.
  
  I also use BCAA and a fish oil supplement, but this is a good starting point.

BSN SYNTHA-6 Protein Powder - Chocolate Milkshake, 5.0 lb (48 Servings) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002DYJ1EC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_LIjHybCNAQ0HJ

Best tasting powder brand I've had. All the flavors I've had are amazing and it's good protein. Take that and actual brewed coffee and you have a great morning. Take some cold brew mix it and toss in some ice after there's a good lunch.
Basically you pay for what you get especially with protein, and this isn't even an expensive brand. But if you go to Walmart and buy their offbrand stuff and expect good tasting and good protein you're gonna be surprised.

Yeah that's the exact bottle I bought.

I've also used this in the past : https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B002DYJ1EC/ref=mp_s_a_1_10_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1498853386&sr=8-10&keywords=on+protein+powder

Is hands down the best protein powder I have tried. I am sure hot sauce is fine haha

For those of you that are ready to pounce on protein sales I stumbled on this a few hours ago.

EDIT: Flash sale came to an end 1/26 2 o'clock AM (Est.)

Thanks for the reply, I do have a shaker bottle, one I use for my protein powder. Do homemade shakes last very long in the fridge if you pre-make them?

Currently, this is what I am taking:

Good amount of protein, and calories, not so much on the cards however.

Unless you have a certain allergy, it doesn't really matter. Go on amazon and find a brand with high reviews and pick a flavor you like. Some lifters swear by some brands, others can be brand agnostic. Some powders have slightly different macros but by then it's personal preference. I've been using protein below as I enjoy the flavor

Thank you! I followed that link and learned that it's sulfur-containing amino acids (cystine and methionine) that you need 2 grams per day of, not elemental sulfur! And here I was about to buy a ton of MSM from amazon to get my sulfur intake up.

So my follow-up question would be whether all brands of whey protein have a similar ratio of total protein to SSA? (For example this one makes no mention of SSAs so is there a chance that doing a 100% keto chow diet using it will make me drop dead in 2 weeks from a sulfur deficiency?)

I have heard/read multiple times that you should try to consume about 1g of protein for every lb of body weight on average. There are a number of resources like : http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/bbprotein.htm which will give you grams of protein per body weight for other goals as well.

So for you at 92kg (about 200lb) you should try to get about 200g of protein a day, mostly from complete meals with powder etc thrown in.

Also read about the different powders on forums like bodybuilding.com, mensfitness.com etc. as well as the nutritional labels of the powder itself. I say this because if you compare 100% Gold Standard Whey ON to Syntha-6 BSN you will see that the serving size is different, 30g scoop ON to 47g scoop BSN but also the protein mix is different.

Currently I use an ON like protein that provides about 20g of protein per 30g scoop of powder and take it about 3x a day (1scoop @ in breakfast shake, 30-40min before workout w/ water, in the afternoon w/water)
