You beat me to it. It has nearly double the calories of the V-Core protein, but it DOES taste amazing.

Trutein is better than all the proteins listed. They actually disclose the ratios. In any case, this is all small stuff. Don't sweat it. Just lift heavy and get plenty of protein. The rest will take care of itself.

How does it taste?

Trutein tastes amazing.
I just prefer ON.

I don't do heavy lifting. My strength training is mostly pushup/situp variations with dumbbells/kettles from 3-25 pounds depending on the exercise.

I'm busting balls to hit a 400lb bench this year. I had the same goal last year but tore my rotator cuff and couldnt bench from about Feb to October. I'm probably back up to 360-365 right now.

Whatevs. You'll be fine.

And yes, Trutein tastes amazing, particularly the Cinnabun flavor.

I think back to my Navy days; I used to lift for about 45 minutes 5 days a week, then run 3 miles afterwards.

....I couldn't do that now if my life depended on it lol

I have experimented with a mix of protein amounts and continued heavy lifting over the years. For years I was 180lbs and getting 300 g of protein a day. Tons of chicken, shakes, tuna.

This past year, I continued to lift heavy like I always do and now get between 120-180 g of protein a day. I am gaining strength great right now and I definitely think the extreme high protein diets recommended to many bodybuilders are likely not needed. No harm if you like eating like that (the stress on the kidneys worries are bullshit!) but it isn't a requirement for muscle/strength gains. I still recommend 120-150 g protein for most trying to gain muscle/strength or lose fat.

your body can process only about one gram per lb of current body weight so extreme amounts is a waste of time.

That's what I've read. Unless you're on a Schwarzenegger-like routine, any excess is going to be stored as fat or energy or whatever..

That's about what I'm doing now. I'm supplementing 30 grams a day, and feel like that should be good.

Does anyone on here box or fight (MMA or similar)? I'm not talking about aerobics with a boxing theme like Title Boxing, but something where you actually take a punch.

Anyone have tips for busting through a plateau on bench press?

Drop the weight by 20% and work back up slowly, like 2% per week. Don't overtrain chest. 5 reps or less per set, no more than 3 working sets twice a week.

That should help. Make sure you're getting enough protein and calories. And sleep.
