It is so convenient!!! It makes me pee out my butt. Now I can do both businesses at once!!!! Yay Walmart!!!!:dance2:

 

[suresha]

i myself purchased some from walmart a few times also, definitely served it's purpose, and have no problem buying again if needed

 

[sithmoney]

I wondered the same thing because it was walmart..but that body fortress stuff is pretty good..works for me..price per serving is real good.

 

[cgoode]

never pay more then 19 for five lbs? idk what protein ur using the walmart brands taste like chemicals, give me a stomach cramp and make me piss out my butt....im not saying to buy the most expensive protein around but man u must have intestines of steel

 

[suresha]

no question, i was droppin stink bombs all day but other than that no butt squirts.lol

 

[pdredman72]

lol yessurrr! I wouldn't pay more than 20 bucks for 5 pounds personally.

agree with ya on that!!the body fortress is ten bucks for 2.2 and six star is about 13 and they both work as good as anything out there espeacially if you dont like wippin your @$$ with 20 dollar bills!!

 

[kingdong]

It does the job of whey, but in my experience, I used it for a few years, and digestion got worse and worse. I switched to American Whey(dont usse any whey anymore) and the difference was night and day.

 

[at1010]

yea i have not had any problems with their powder. I have bought the body fortress shots though. I normally lift then do a light cardio(incline walk). I was thinking about bringing a shot to the gym and doing it b4 i start my cardio. Then when i come home after all my workouts making a regular powder shake. You think thats to much?

 

[Dyou]

Wow... You guys are seriously saying its the walmart protein giving you squirts? I think you have bigger probs lol. Its all i use and i have no digestive probs. Not the shots but the tub

 

[freepaystheso]

Ive been using the whey protein from body fortress and got major gains. Its affordable and it works.

 

[hog928]

dam u guys have a good stomach i cant drink any of that lol i will throw it up the second i drink it lol its terrible. I guess im will to pay the extra for a good taste but lucky u guys can i wish i could

 

[at1010]

anyone read my post and have any input? I can drink the stuff easy powder or shots. should i use the dosage i referred to earlier.

 

[cgoode]

I dunno I take amminogen daily with other probiotics and multis...it seems like any whey protein concentrates give me troubles....i generally have to go isolate or casein

I would rather use a BCAA powder pre workout but the shots are fine

 

[at1010]

i use bcaa before i lift. I just lift and then i do cardio. I was thinking about doing the shot after i lift b4 the cardio.

protein is protein, the only thing with the walmart brand is that it tastes like sh*t

 

[superfreak]

walmart protein is whey concentrate which means less pure and less absorption. Whey isolate is better, whey hydrolysate is best.

 

[SonicSWOLE]

Uhhhh, no. Read the ingredient list. I like to take my creatine seperate. The protein at Walmart is manufactured by Iovate(both Muscle Fortress and Six Star), the parent company of Muscle Tech. This is the same formula as the OLD(and I mean 6 or so years ago) Nitro Tech. So, why the difference? It seems to me that there is a difference in quality. You guys that say protein is protein crack me the F*** up. You obviously don't know what your putting in your mouth, as I guess you haven't read the label. As far as the protein shots.........I'll pass on 'hydrolyzed gelatin' as a main protein source. Gross!

Why? :thinking: Do you know that for a fact, or is that something that you heard?

Agreed.

I would assume all of their raw materials come from the same place and end up in the different products. And as you stated, very similar to the old Nitro tech product

i think these are the same ppl who bulk up with mc donalds

 

[PowerHouse555]

If its sold at walmart its crap...

 

[wastedwhiteboy2]

It's cheap. I use it all the time and have no problems.

 

[bludevil]

I don't buy at Wal-Mart but do on ocassion buy from Target when I'm out of protein and no online retailer is running specials on protien. I'm like TripDog, I ain't paying of $25 for 5lbs. Lately I'm enjoying LG Sciences Lipotropic Protein

 

[Big BAMA]

I try to save where I can but cheap protein is not one of them, Quality over quantity. 5lbs of sheyat for $10 is still 5lbs of sheyat.

uhh, if I get 20g of protein in a scoop of crappy walmart brand protein, I'm getting 20g of protein. If i get 20g of protein in some expensive brand, I'm also getting 20g of protein. Ultimately no difference

 

[pdredman72]

agreed i went from 160 -230 in @ 9 months using six star or body fotress 3 outta the 4 weeks a month and i have thrown in an ocassional expensive tub and not see any difference?although i do want to try pro charge cause ive heard good things?anyone here use it??

So what is so horrible about walmart protein? What am I putting in my mouth now that will make me want to spend 2 to 3 times more?

There is around 20g of protein in 100g of the bark from a Black Locust Tree. Try that out and let me know if there is a difference in protein.....

............yes, there is a difference.

 

[SonicSWOLE]

Some may like it...and if you do, that is good for you. I find I don't want creatine and all the other additives in my protein. It makes it hard for me to digest, and obviously, if it is out seconds after going in I do not get the full benefits of the protein. I also prefer a higher quality mix of proteins, you do get what you pay for.

 

[Dyou]

I wonder what it is that keeps making a few people say they cant digest it well. All proteins be it the expensive or cheap ones give me a little gas but other than that I have never noticed any difference at all.

Man that **** is 15bucks in any walmart ive been to in GA. 5lbs of Nutrapro for 30 bucks is a good deal to me. Also comparing whey to protein in bark is not the same as comparing whey from two different companies.

 

[superfreak]

:thinking:

Why? :thinking: Do you know that for a fact, or is that something that you heard?

Ive read about it in fitness magazines but im sure there is some science to back it up. I believe the main difference between them are the rate of absorption/digestibility and purity. Whey isolate and hydrosylate powder are higher in protein content which means less fat and carbs.

12.99$ just got myself some body fortress choco peanut butter, brand new at least at my walmart. Best tasting choco pb I've ever had, and I've tried at least 5-10 different kinds.

Man not only is it overprice where i live but all we get is choclate, vanilla, and strawberry, and they all blow in the flavor department. I usually buy choclate and mix it with coffee and milk.

IF your body isn't digesting the powder(as is the case with me), that a comparison to bark is just the same. I don't think my GI will process the protein from the tree bark either(okay, okay, I haven't tried though). But again, if your body is tolerant of it, than good for you. There are still much better options out there.

your body is digesting the powder. Whey is the most bio available protein so what makes you think the spray drying process used in Body Fortress's whey concentrate makes their whey any less digestible than anyone elses?

 

[BigBeazy]

5lbs of sheyat for $10

What kind of brand is that?

You've never heard of that stuff, you know, made by Porcelain God?:stups:

 

[BigBeazy]

It's a joke lol.

 

[triton185]

Yeah, I guess there are also people who will not buy generic ibuprofen and spend extra for advil........................................................Compare the absolute "best" protein to this and tell me how much of a difference there is.....quantify it for me as far difference in absorbtion etc.....

 

[triton185]

Actually, I really don't give a sh*t about all that because I like the Walmart protein and will keep using it but I just felt like making some of you naysayers work a little to support your positions....ha ha

You don't get it do you? It is not the protein itself. It is the additives. That is why I used the tree bark analogy. You could take 100% whey hydrolysate and mix it with sunflower seed shells and corn kernals....there is high protein concentrate, but it won't all(or much) get absorbed. You'll just end up with a pretty picture in your bowl. With these brands, the protein itself may even be a good quality whey, it is the additives that are suspect.

Listen, If the Mother Company makes Muscle Tech, that should be an instant no brainer.
