whey protein

I like nst. You can get 5 pounds of it for 45 bucks at ballys. That's way cheaper than I see anything at gnc. Really like cookies and cream as well

I use the Optimum Nutrition gold standard whey. They have a ton of flavors and the four that I have tried so far have been good.

Hi Folks,

Please feel free to recommend products to each other, but refrain from adding links to sites, as referenced in this item from the forum guidelines:

1) No advertising or self-promotion. You may not post advertisements for other services, websites, etc. which intend to sell products or services for monetary gain. Any such links will be removed at moderator discretion without warning and could result in your posting privileges being revoked. You also may not make any posts from which you might financially benefit, i.e. "message me for more info", "I can get you free samples", "visit my site for more info", etc.

It's fine to recommend products, but it's best to let members find them on their own and decide where to purchase them.

Thanks,

Interesting. I have always interpreted that rule (and similar rules for other forums) to mean no advertising/self-promotion that would result in gain for me or my family & friends. In other words, I shouldn't promote the book I wrote or my cousin's auto repair shop. But linking to a specific product that I enjoy is out of bounds? Providing a link to Amazon so that someone knows the exact HRM watch I bought isn't OK? Because I've done that. Someone was asking about HRMs and I linked to the one I ordered. I did some research and found Amazon had the best price. I was posting the link to be helpful. I would see no gain from someone ordering the watch from Amazon.

bumping to hear the answer to this

I have tried the Bananas and Cream (i think) EAS Whey and it made my tummy hurt....or maybe that was soy...hmmm...

I stick with chocolate and vanilla cause I normally add fruit and yogurt and make a smoothie with it.

My bad, everybody, and thanks for calling me on it. Got some clarification from Mike. My apologies for jumping the gun.

Since the link is not intended for PERSONAL profit (though bodybuilding.com might make some $$$) I'm re-posting joejccva71's helpful link:

Sorry for the confusion, thanks for calling me out!


Mmmm... Yummmy. Eating crow... Lots of Protein!

Thanks for the clarification Steven.

It's just that the present wording of the forum rules is a bit vague on the subject. It doesn't specifically say that the monetary gain must be a monetary gain to the person posting the link.
