I remember the days when I was a kid, looking at the magazines and reading all the articles.

The author would mention that you really need to take in enough quality protein to grow.

And that, a good quality protein powder would really help.

Good advice.

But there was a problem with it.

First, I was just a kid who had no idea what a good protein powder was.

And second unlike today where you can go to one of the more popular bodybuilding sites and ask for help, there was no one around to ask.

So today I am going lay out one brand of protein that I have used and still use to this day.

And this is Optimum Nutrition’s 100% Whey Gold Standard protein powder.

Now, right up front I want to point out a few things.

First, I am not being paid by Optimum to say this, I just feel their protein is of good quality and is priced right.

Are there other places that I buy from, sure?

As I stated just recently, I love Dave Drapers Bomber Blend.

However, the one thing about Optimum is that they are available just about anywhere.

Second, you get what you pay for.

Third, they have tons of flavors, for me personally I like the double rich chocolate flavor and surprisingly I like this one better than their milk chocolate flavor, because I am usually a milk chocolate kind of guy.

CONCLUSION

I know this is a short post today, but I just wanted to give the young man or woman who has just started out on their bodybuilding journey a reliable source of protein.

Some will say that I left out various companies.

And I will admit that I have.

But again, I am trying to give the beginner a good quality brand that they can trust.

Once they become familiar with the bodybuilding landscape, they can decide for themselves when/if they want to try a different brand for their protein powder.

UNTIL NEXT TIME

KEEP FIT

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYBODY!

Below is my review of Gaspari Nutrition’s MyoFusion Protein Powder.

When I first started seeing ads for MyoFusion I must admit to being excited because like many who have been bodybuilding for a while and remember the days of terrible shakes—and companies that we just did not trust—I trust Gaspari Nutrition and believed that this product would be top quality.

And I was not mistaken, although when I went to my local nutrition store to pick up a can of MyoFusion (the two pound can), I was a little concerned because I had hoped to pick up the milk chocolate flavor—but all they had was the Double Chocolate.

TASTE:

Very drinkable, goes down easy and even though I am only about half way through the can, I can see myself not getting tired of this flavor—which is very good, not too heavy on the chocolate, but enough so that you can taste it.

MIXABLITY:

Takes a little longer to mix in my over sized cup (using only a spoon) than some of the protein powders that I have used, but to me this is not a big deal.

NUTRITION PROFILE:

With twenty-five grams of high quality protein per scoop, only three grams of fat, and five carbs (for the double rich chocolate variety) it works out very nicely.

I was also happy that they did not add-in a full spectrum vitamin and mineral blend, as I already take a high quality multi, however, if this is something that you are looking for in your powder you should take this into account before purchasing a can.

OVERALL THOUGHTS:

I consider protein powder to be essential to every serious bodybuilder because of today’s hectic lifestyles—who has time to sit down to prepare a healthy meal.

And as I stated at the beginning of this review, I trust Gaspari Nutrition and would recommend this protein to anyone who is looking to try something new.

However to be totally one hundred percent honest, I am not a fan of all their products, so please do not take this review to mean that I endorse everything that they make—because that is not the case.

STAY FOCUSED ON YOUR GOALS!
