Ive been using True Whey Chocolate mint for a couple of months and it was amazing... but now I wanted to save dosh and got impact whey Chocolate mint.. and it tastes pretty awful in comparison.
prefer unflavoured really. The flavouring difference between true and impact is eeuuughhh..
perfectly drinkable though i guess
The chocolate one has the least protein content in it
You mean I'll get a whole 1.98 grams less protein per scoop? My bodybuilding dreams have been crushed!

It's best to go with natural flavour protein as you don't lose practically any nutritional values, it also doesn't taste that bad either.
And I tought I had low standards.
It's not bad if you chug it down, but daily torture with at least a pint of it is not fun at all.

Stupid question, (I ain't read how to use it yet since I've not got it!) but can't I just whack it in to a blender with some milk and a banana and profit?

Yes, you can, and unflavoured will taste great with a banana. It's fine if you have time to blend it and don't mind 90 extra calories from a banana.
I often drink shakes when I'm not at home so don't have the luxury of a blender - often I'll drink them with water, unless I carry around a load of milk all day. Unflavoured whey in water, whilst not gag-inducing, does not taste great.
I went for over 2 years with unflavoured whey and having switched, I find the flavoured stuff to be much nicer. Going to the gym doesn't have to be all about eating raw eggs and flossing your teeth with copper wire.

Speaking of eating raw eggs - is that wise? A few people have told me not to do it, because you can make yourself ill! (and that there's a good chance!)

Theres a chance of catching salmonella but its a very very slim chance. Although a good reason not to do it is theres a substance called avidin that stops your body from being able to absorb a massive % of the protein in the egg, but its deactived through cooking.

Damn straight!!! Makes all the difference over the years
Really? The strawberry impact whey is fine I think...But I whisk it into oblivion

Just to throw it in there and also to remind me!
Got shoulders tonight, woop!
Also noticed this in the following article: http://davedraper.com/blog/2009/09/16/deadlift-stud-squatting-dud/
Might see how it goes...doesn't help I can't try a heavy squat due to the lack of a rack

Hi,
which are the best sites for ordering Protein power ?

Seems I was hyper-extending my back during squatting today and getting crimpling pumps/cramp in my back! Had to resort to bulgarian split which did the job very nicely instead!
Either that or my pelvis is twisted/unlevel. Have been cracking my back a lot lately and have also trapped a nerve in my neck a few times recently so think a cut down on the cracking and a visit to the eosteopath is in order!
Beat me to it!
