didn’t know where to post but does anyone know if Gaspari will have a booth at the Arnold?
oh damn big year for BFF…I like it!
I hate to bring it down, but I wasn’t a huge fan of 80/20. I also dislike casein, and any blend with casein in it.
So my opinion should be taken lightly.
Why’s that?
The texture in a shake seems a bit sandy to me. Also give some GI bloat and gas. I have to role with WPI. Even WPC-80 gives me some slight issues.
Matt only tolerates isolates well, no surprise it doesn’t suit him at all
What are y’alls favorite whey isolates as far as flavor goes? I went through like 5 tubs of Primeval Labs ISOLIT (all flavors taste awesome) but I am looking for an isolate with less fat (ISOLIT has 3g per serving). I know some of you guys have brands you push and that’s totally cool, but don’t recommend me something that sucks! lol thanks all
Edit: Went with Nutrex ISOFIT Pb Toffee. I have tried other Nutrex stuff in the past and have never been disappointed
NutraBio and IsoSolve have been good to me
FYI @TeamCellucor $1 a can sale this weekend at Vitamin Shoppe stores

I agree with @Matt_Towson on the 80:20… I got a sandy texture. Took a few hours but eventually got some gas and bloat. Not a fan of it.
We will be involved as a sponsor for the Arnold amateur competition so I know that the team will be around heavily!
I know you mostly drink isolates as well…
So again that is usually the underlying issue.
Giving dairy or a heavy casein product to someone who normally drinks isolates is not always going to be optimal.
I personally found 0 sandy texture, and it mixes with ease and also bakes very well.
I mostly use it as sludge (just water + whey mixed into a tupperware, but 8-10oz of liquid is a very good consistency due to the fact its 80% Casein)
I really like Xtend Pro. Chocolate is my favorite chocolate flavored iso on the market; I love Cookie Butter too, but not everyone shares that opinion.
I love Gaspari’s Proven Whey too. It’s a full isolate.
I tend to stock up on Protein powders on sales, then roll through them over time. Right now the ones I have been happiest with most are Ronnie Coleman Signature Series (King Whey or Pro-Antium), Ghost Whey, Gaspari’s Proven Egg (amazing), SinFit, and Build Fast Formul 8020 (but not an isolate).
So of course none of those are isolates, but I am finding I enjoy blends more and more. You can check out RCSS IsoTropic Max though I personally have not tried it but if the flavoring holds up then you are good to go. Of course NutraBio I enjoy, and I dabble in ISO-Protein by MAN from time to time if you can find a sale.
OH yeah forgot this on my list, I will echo this. I tried the Xtend Chocolate Lava Cake last summer and was very very happy. Delicious. Unfortunately I did not enjoy the Cookie Butter (the wife did). @WRFD curious on your thoughts on the Cookie Butter whenever you try it.
I may try RCSS for my next whey order then. I am a fan of his bars and tried the pre a real long time ago. I really considered Gaspari Proven Egg but I have some unflavored egg white protein so I felt like it would be redundant.
Oh, and if any of y’all tried the first version of Ghost Chips Ahoy and wasn’t that impressed, you need to try the new version! It is very very good
