The Best Bodybuilding Protein

Do you use whey protein to help give you that extra nudge towards packing on some muscle mass? While there are certainly a lot of good whole food sources of bodybuilding protein out there, whey protein supplements are a great way to give your diet an extra muscle building boost!
Instead of going overboard here and completely excluding whole food sources of muscle building protein form your diet, you need to realize that the human body was made to ingest whole food protein. Even though whey protein is a more digestible and nutrient dense form of dietary protein, you still need to make sure that you are eating ample amounts of real food each day. While in theory it sounds like a good idea to dump everything except for whey protein, I guarantee you’ll have a very hard time building muscle mass that way.
That said I consider whey protein to be some of the best bodybuilding protein around. It’s efficient (digests quickly), light weight (wont bulk you up), easy to take with you and generally speaking tastes great!
If you want to add some extra protein to your diet, there are a few different high quality whey protein supplements that seem to make sense…
I personally like AST’s VP2 it’s affordable, tastes great and has led to some unbelievable muscle gains for me over the years. The only problem with VP2 is that it’s extremely efficient and is absorbed very quickly. This makes it ideal for situations where you need to get nutrients into your body fast, like after your workouts. I like to use VP2 for my post workout recovery meal, I just mix it with a scoop of tang (for carbs) and viola…a complete hard hitting muscle building post workout meal.
When it comes to a bodybuilding protein that you can use in between meals and as more of a utility protein supplement, I like to buy buy a high quality whey protein concentrate blend from the Protein Factory. I can buy it in bulk there and blend it with any flavor I want! The quality is top of the line and the price is much lower than any off the shelf brand name proteins.
That’s all there is to it. Whenever I’m in the market for some supplemental bodybuilding protein, I either grab a container of Vp2 or head off to the protein factory to make my own custom muscle building protein blend.
