Bulk Whey?

The Mad Rapper · 1 May 2008 at 16:20

Have any of you bought from bulkwhey.co.uk before?

Looks like a great price for isolate, which is better than the concentrate I'd buy in bulk from MP.

Here's the link: http://www.bulkwhey.co.uk/Iso1.htm

Isolate is no better than concentrate... infact I'd rather use the latter anyway. Isolate is only better if you're lactose intolerant and can't use concentrate without issues.

Isolate has a higher protein content Chong as you well know, but I agree that the difference is irrelevant really. I was looking for a good bulk supply and they only sell isolate in 8KG units, and that seemed like good value to me!

I think they are asking £70 for 8KG (17.6lbs), which is great value for money in my view

Chong Warrior · 1 May 2008 at 22:09

It's a good price, though if you can't collect you need to add £10 to that for P&P making it £80. I'd much rather just pay £32 for 5kg (or £56 for 8kg inc P&P)

I mean is it worth paying almost 50% extra for that 10% extra protein?

yeah, i agree with chong why not buy more WPC for the same amount and increase your doses? Have you got 'two scoop mentality' whereby you use the same scoops regaurdless of the content of the powder? If you have 2 tubs one WPI and one WPC and lets say the WPC is 24g protein per 30g and the WPI is 27g per 30g. Whats the difference between using 2 scoops of WPI and 2.5 scoops of WPC? When you consider that cost per scoop you could use up to 4 scoops of WPC and retain the same cost per shake yet garnering a far higher protein intake.

I reiterate, dont measure your intake based on the tub/instructions. Always work out how much you need PERSONALLY. I mean should Jay Cutler put the same two scoops of Maximuscle in his shake as Mr 175lbs Joe nobody?

I'd agree on concentrate being better than isolate (unless lactose intolerant).

Concentrate tends to have more sugars in it, which causes an insulin spike, which aid proper consumption of the proteins

(And stick with MP anyways, those guys are great!)

(on that note, any of guys on the MP forums?

MyProtein have just dropped their prices on bulk whey as well

WillSpengler · 3 May 2008 at 16:06

Don't have the need or space for another 10lb tub right now. Wonder if milk prices have maybe started to plateu

Heres hoping they come tumbling down! Whey should only cost £4-5 per kilo max atm its about £7

Milk production has risen which means more whey. Also China and India have started to churn out whey so prices should begin to decrease soon
