Can someone tell me how GNC is still in business? they are the Sharper Image of supps

[90 50]

lol Wieder was one of the most digusting powders, I took so many weight gainers, the GNC was horrible it had a fishy taste and you had to drink a blender full just to get the 2500 calories in there to put weight on.

Then EAS came around and CHANGED the game with Myoplex in the late 90s early 2000s, it was a huge advancement in MRPs and flavoring and cost expensive too, the myoplex tasted 10 times better and was smoother you still had to blend it to get it to smooth out without clumps but cold milk or cold water it was good.

Then Muscle Milk came around which is super unhealthy but tasted great.

I had to put milk, ice cream and fruit in my mega mass 2000

I've always thought most protein powders are pretty tasty tbh. Maybe its because I mix them with whole milk?

Bro it was disgusting when I used to drink those gainers I put more weight on my gut and face. I was so glad Myoplex came out and then muscle milk, but man Muscle milk had so much Cholesterol, sugar and saturated fat it was so bad for your health.

Whats weird is a lot of the protein powders still have that either a bad chemical after taste to mask that rotten milk powder smell
I prefer those clear proteins like isopure.

The ones today are tasty we are talking about the old days 90s when they only had those disgusting proteins that didnt dissolve in a shaker and you had to use a blender and they were still clump and smelled of fish and old milk.

FIsh smell? Bro I never had this issue and I remember buying protein powder as early as.... 2002? 2003? In fact I think I still have a jug serving as a coin collector brb

Bro the GNc I had in 1998 smelled like fish taste like fishoil was added to it, and rotting milk and it was fresh, weight gainer 2500 it was gross. I thought it was rotten but I got a super smell, and super taste, I used to just chug them because I couldn't handle the taste. You must be one of those guys who could drink anything, my friend was the same way he never gagged on any protein shake.

LOL bro wtf you still doing with a Tub of prolab from 2003?

I remember getting a free tub off Bodybuilding .com from a supp rep back in 2005. It was tolerable they gave me strawberry for soem reason the strawberry protein powders and banana were my favorites.

It's my coin jug. Has tens of dollars of coins in it.

Chocolate peanut butter is the goat flavor. Something about the peanut butter just smooths it all out and makes it delicious as fuck.

Kick back on the attacks man, why do you always think everyone is attacking you that you have to reply the way you do? Nobody is attacking you, stop being antisocial Kong.

Show me some lower priced products, or else you are a GNC shill, please dont take shots at me when you are the one who is saying just by a cheaper protein, do you even know the different in quality of protein and types.

show me some good quality protein at GNC for cheap.

you’re such a funny guy. You quote me with a smart ass comment (and that’s fine by me) then instantly whine when it’s done back to you.

@TidWell

optimum nutrition is like $30. There’s your answer my dude. That took 4 seconds to figure out

LOL dam you couldn't get another coin jug like a BSN one which is see thru? Did you just stop drinking protein in 2003

Speaking of spare change collecting, out of boredom I put my saved coins I only collect silver ones like dimes, nickel and quarters I put pennies in a separate jar. I had two big clear jugs of coins.

I found my coin sorter counter that I bought years ago from Amazon, and I sorted my coins two days ago and I had $675. 45 cents total I saved all my spare change for one year, from shopping, going to casinos, etc.

Most of my coins comes from when I go to the casino, Some days ill leave the casino with like 15 to 20 dollars in coins in my pockets. all from when I exchange my winning vouchers. the machine tosses out bills and the change left.

I haven't counted the pennies but I think I might have 25 dollars in pennies.

If the Casinos open up again im going to take them there with my bro to change them, I got to one casino which they dont charge, most of them will charge me 3 to 6 percent fees to use the coin change machine.

I love you thats why Kong I want you to not get so angry all the time man

I’m not angry in real life at all but on here it’s funny to let the dorks have it.


I answered your question. The problem is you want ‘high quality’ and a ‘cheap price.’ Sadly those things don’t exist in life. You can get a good protein for a decent price. Like I posted.

I just bought some NAKED Whey and NAKED Pea Protein.

I also buy Isopure protein or protein powder from THORNE which is probably the best/most highly rated vitamin supplement brand on the market.

Oh man yeah I forgot about PB chocolate whey, but it also depends the brand.

if its Muscle milk the chocolate butter is wayyyyyyy to sweet. I used to love the Mocha flavored wheys.

This Man Sports one was good its chocolate peanut butter with a lttile bit of crunched up reeses peanut butter bits, I tried it a while ago and it was very good

I stopped taking the chocolate and coffee whey cause it seems to cause my insides to inflame so I avoid them.

I really like that Gaspari proven whey flavors I was sent some samples two months ago because they had my name on their user list which was cool, I haven't ordered from them in ages.

The blueberry cobbler is delicious

There Neapolitan tasted just like the ice cream very good

Have you ever heard of Ghost whey? I always see people raving about the taste.

How does the Pea Protein taste is it gritty and dirty? I had some pea protein samples sent my way with vegan ones and they were disgusting as hell man.

Bro I buy good quality protein or used to off vitacost, they send me coupon codes all the time. Sometimes they male me a 30 off 70 dollars code so I get 30 dollars off my entire purchase, but they dont let you use the code on Thorne and other high end clinical grade supplements.

I haven’t had it yet. I usually mix a scoop of protein powder in with my veggie shake in the AM while I eat my full breakfast. Oats and eggs plus the shake.

the naked whey is flavorless so I bought that one so it doesn’t overpower my veggie shakes.

The pea protein I’ll use after workout.

Is there a reason you are alternating and using vegan shakes with whey? I was told the Pea protein shake is the least toxic of the other vegan shakes and the best protein source of the plant based proteins, they did a study on plant based shakes and I think they had toxic metals

The results as portrayed by the report were potentially troubling on the surface. Jacklyn Bowen, the group’s executive director, said the plant-based protein powders tested the worst. Among the talking points for the test results were:

• Approximately 75% of plant-based proteins had measurable levels of lead. The laboratory discovered that the plant-based protein powders each contained on average twice the amount of lead per serving of other products.
• In addition to lead, the plant-based protein powders contained mercury, cadmium and arsenic, in several cases above health-based guidelines.
• 55% of all protein powders tested had measurable levels of BPA, a known endocrine disruptor.
• Certified organic products averaged twice as much heavy metals.
• Among the whey proteins, 10% tested with measurable amounts of lead. For the egg-based proteins, none were found to contain lead.
