I stopped listening to Dave's podcast because he will spout of stuff as fact that isn't necessarily fact
however we must look at the fact he's talking about high level bodybuilding and no offense to anyone on here, but most of us are not that
if your stepping on a high level stage the maybe 1 or 2% difference could help, but a majority of us will never notice
I always recommend WPI if money isn't an issue as I find it higher quality, easier to consume, it doesn't sit on the stomach and you know what your getting
the difference in quality between 1 wpc product vs the next seems to be vary significantly
Gagging on my way to class and even in class! Back in college, 2003-2006, I tried WPC and would just about throw up every morning in class. I use to eat cereal, slam my shake, take a tbsp or two of flaxseed oil and hurry to class. Maybe it was because I was in a hurry but it was bad and I had to do a lot to hold back throwing up
I switched to expensive wpi, vp2 by ast brand, it was 20 $ for a 2 lb tun, and back then I didn't have as much money as I do now, but I spent it every month and this kept me from throwing up. I have a thread on bodybuilding.com back in 2004 or 2005 where I was looking for help and Pat Arnold recommend WPi and to my surprise it worked!
Moving on, I dont have stomach issues anymore and for the most part take in WPC. From time to time I take in WPI, like last night, and I feel better when I do. I think it might be worth shot to at least take in WPI pre contest . Being that I can get 11 lbs wpi for 80 $ or so its a little less than it was fifteen years ago when i was in college! Thank you for your insight, I really appreciate you .
Ive got to plug Millennium Sports because they treat me well, 100% NEW ZEALAND, GRASS FED WHEY PROTEIN has cross flow microfiltration (CFM) and WPC from grass fed only cows. It seems smoother, easier to digest, and just feels better, than the other wpc I use.
