I am still confused and don't know what protein I should buy. Went to nutrishop the other time and they had a huge bucket, I think 15 lbs of protein, and the guy said that it is specifically great for hardgainers because it has like5 different proteins or something in it but I didn't get it. Do I have to get something that contains 5 different types or can I as a hardgainer just buy regular whey protein, like ON whey?

TIA

You don't need 5 different types of protein, a whey protein works just fine. You could have a casein protein for before bed though.

A good whey protein would be:
ON Whey
or
Scivation Whey

A good protein blend is:
BSN Syntha 6

Also look into ordering online, a lot cheaper than store fronts.

thanks for the reply. I usually buy at bodybuilding.com and just went to the store with a friend.

But why do people recommend those protein buckets that contain 5 different proteins? Max muscle recommended the same thing.

Im going to order ON Whey

Some people think they are better as they are "time released" because they have fast digesting proteins and slow digesting proteins in them. But usually they cost more, and I just think a plain whey is much better.

Nutrition stores are pushing the items "They" want you to buy... Do you know if your a Hardgainer?

My suggestions are what Allstar just mentioned.. I will add that you need to eat every 2 to 2.5 hours and workout with intensity..

Do you have a workout routine yet? If not get one made up.. Get a frequency to workout and track your progress.. Create yourself a workout log and we can give or lend you suggestions to optimize your goals.. We are here to help you reach them..

Read the Mission of the Dungeon statement, we wholeheartedly mean that..

Keep pumpin the Iron..

Chris

Get your protein from good old FOOD every 2 hours like Chris said above. Eggs, chicken, lean steak, tuna, milk........... It may sound old school but it works!

Food is a great way to get your protein. But if you are like me, you dont always have time or money to cook/eat right. I take a few different protein's. If you can afford it, i would pick up some BSN Syntha 6. Its a great combination, and it is by far the best tasting protein there is. I also get cassein (no brand that i often use) and take before bed. Syntha6 hurts the wallet sometimes, but it taste so good for me not to buy it!

Waxy Maze is a must too! Mike40+ will tell you about that
