I use isolate as whey concentrate gives me horrible gas

Unless you have lactose issues as per nignag75 above then save your money.

well on bulkpowders the isolate works out much better value per gram of protein per 100 grams of powder, something like 4 cent per 10 grams of protein cheaper when you get isolate instead of concentrate

If this was true then it would be a good idea.

Had a glance though and it's not.


5kg flavoured whey is 57.40(GBP) for 82%

5kg flavoured isolate is 79.50(GBP) for 90%

I will level some else work it out but the isolate is far more expensive from even a glance per gram.

Its actually more like 77.78% for most flavours and closer to 91% in the isolate

Even it that was true it is still way more expensive.

Both COAs on site are on a dry basis so if the 82% drops to 78-80 when taking account of moisture then do does the isolate going from 92% to 88-90.

If you wish to continue being pedantic and arguing the point please demonstrate how isolate is cheaper per gram.

I'm taking the dry amount for flavoured on both, if you read the info, it says 82% for unflavoured but if you work out the flavoured amount which is given per 30g serving at 23.2g per 30g = 77.33%

I really shouldnt be wasting my time on this but .....................

So the WPC when the flavouring is added the percentage drops you are saying. They same will also happen to isolate when flavoring is added so what difference. Compared unflavored wpc with unflavoured wpi or compare flavoured wpc with flavoured wpi!

Lets look at unflavoured
WPC is 82% for unflavoured. So 82% of a 5kg bag means you get 4100 grams of protein for a cost of 46.79 or 1.14p per gram or 114p per 100 grams? ok



WPI is 91.8% protein (from the COA) meaning 5kg gives you 4590 grams of protein for a cost of 77.49 or 1.68p per gram or 168p per 100 grams!

So WPC is 114p per 100
and WPI is 168p per 100.

Thats a massive difference in cost.

Now just to entertain you lets look at the flavoured.

Flavoured
WPC flav= 77% you say (and i checked you to be correct) so 5 kg gets you 3850 grams for a cost of 57.19 or 1.48p per gram or 148p per 100 grams

WPI flav is 90% so 5kg gets you 4500 g protein for a cost of 79.49 or 1.76p per gram or 176p per 100 grams.

So WPC flav is 148p per 100 grams
and WPI is 176p per 100 grams.

So what I have shown here pretty much backs up what I said here.....

And demonstrates that this post is completely false.

So stop rabbiting on about percentages and offer some factual information.

Not sure if this is the right place, I've taken my preworkout, only problem now is that the gym doesn't open till 10, can I top up or do I just wait it out and go into the gym without it

Jesus don't top up whatever you do... If you read the labels it'll normally say don't exceed 2 scoops within 24hrs..

Just suck it up..

gollywog

Sorry again guys,

Making an order tomorrow and need a good pre workout. I'm not at all caffeine sensitive. I was reading up on pro supps Mr Hyde. Gets great reviews. Has anybody on here tried it??

No but I was listening to a podcast interview with Kurtis Frank the other day and I liked the cut of his jib.

Could you possibly post me a link or PM me to that?

I'm really considering buying the reference guide but would like to hear something about it first

If you go to thefitcast.com it's probably the latest podcast but it's number 276 if there's been a new one in the last couple of days.

Anyone ever use on glycomaize or dextrose. Just wondering would they be worth getting ?

I use dextrose during my workout but that's just because it's pineapple.... I like pineapple:p

Do you find it any use or you just drink it for the taste

Maybe a tiny bit more energy during a workout but tbh you could take better.
