Best Protein Powder for Men

Optimum Nutrition’s longtime bestseller Gold Standard Whey is a versatile choice for building muscle, performing at your peak, and recovering from hard workouts, in a dizzying array of flavors.

Reasons to buy:

  • Whey protein blend
  • 18 flavors
  • Supplement and protein of the year for a decade
  • Mixable with a spoon

Your protein needs vary by your weight, so some guys need a lot. You might need to down a couple shakes a day to hit your protein needs, especially if you train heavy. And if you’re drinking that many shakes, it helps to have some variety. With 18 available flavors, Gold Standard Whey from Optimum Nutrition is your ally in the fight against protein burnout. Reviewers love the authenticity of the flavors—they don’t all just taste the same.

Aptly named, Gold Standard won Bodybuilding.com’s protein and supplement of the year from 2005-2014, and it’s by far the most popular protein shake among fit guys. For a long time, this 100% whey blend set the standard for a versatile, go-to protein shake. It can be used for muscle building, performance, and recovery, as well as for staying lean. Other contenders have since entered the market, but Gold Standard Whey remains a solid nutritional choice with a lot of options.

Best Vegan Protein Powder

More than just protein, this plant-based powder includes an array of micronutrients from organic fruits and greens. The super-clean formula is dairy free, soy free, and naturally flavored and sweetened.

Reasons to buy:

  • Raw, sprouted ingredients
  • Greens, fruit, and vegetable blend
  • Probiotics and enzymes
  • Vitamins and minerals
  • Not too sweet
  • Soy free

What makes this plant-based option our favorite is everything that’s in it other than protein. Garden of Life RAW Organic Meal also contains organic fruits and vegetables, probiotics, enzymes, and a full array of essential vitamins and minerals, making it more of a full meal replacement than just a protein supplement. Blend it with fresh fruit, greens, and almond butter, as many of our customers do, and you’re hitting a lot of your nutritional bases with just one shake.

Equally important is what this plant-based protein doesn’t have: soy, dairy, added sugars, or artificial flavors, colors, or sweeteners.

Best Organic Protein Powder

This high-powered plant protein is organic, vegan, and delivers a serious dose of protein and BCAAs for athletes who care about their health as much as their performance.

Reasons to buy:

  • Plant based (vegan)
  • 5.5 grams of BCAAs
  • Non-GMO verified
  • Probiotics

Some people think you can’t get enough protein or BCAAs from plants. Well, if 30 grams of protein and 5.5 grams of BCAAs aren’t enough for you, we don’t know what is.

While Garden of Life Sport is a plant protein, you don’t have to be vegan to benefit from it. It’s a great choice for anyone who values eating clean and is looking for a straightforward protein to use for recovery, performance, and building muscle. Unlike Garden of Life RAW Organic Meal, it is not a meal replacement. Garden of Life Sport works best as a recovery shake or as a supplement to add more protein to your diet, similar to whey protein.

We rank this performance-oriented protein powder above its competitors because in addition to the organic vegan protein blend, it contains an organic muscle recovery blend with antioxidants from turmeric, goji berry, tart cherry, and other organic ingredients.

This blend is also better than some other natural proteins because it packs a high 30 grams of plant protein, and 5.5 grams of BCAAs for building muscle—exceptional in a vegan protein. And since it’s fully organic, non-GMO verified, and free from banned substances, it’s one of the cleanest performance proteins you can get.

Best Overall Protein Powder

Pro JYM is a user-friendly protein blend that works in just about any situation. It’s a fan favorite with a wide range of highly-rated flavors, including some exclusive to Bodybuilding.com.

Reasons to buy:

  • Fast and slow-digesting proteins
  • Premium ingredients
  • Developed by Jim Stoppani, Ph.D.
  • Exclusive and legacy flavors

We chose Pro JYM as the best protein powder because it’s made from high-quality ingredients and it’s versatile. If you only want to buy one protein, this is it. The formula contains science-backed levels of solid ingredients with full transparency, meaning the amount of each ingredient is listed on the label.

Pro JYM is a blend of whey, casein, and egg protein. A blend is good for two reasons: It provides fast- and slow-digesting proteins, so it boosts muscle protein synthesis for a long period of time while still providing quick protein after a workout. Second, it means you can just use one protein supplement for all your needs instead of having to buy a whey isolate for post-workout, casein for before bed, and so on.

Tips

If Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for example are not good days for you to workout, you can adjust the schedule. Just make sure you have a rest day in between each workout.

Reasons for setting up the program this way:

  1. You hit every muscle
  2. These exercises will provide and solid foundation
  3. You will receive adequate rest

I decided to put biceps with legs because biceps are usually everyone’s favorite body part to work on. Legs are often the hardest and most grueling to work. Therefore, my putting the two together, you will look forward to leg day instead of dreading it.

Notice for each exercise there is a certain rep range. For example, bench press has a rep range of 8-to-10 reps. This means you should choose a weight that you can handle for at least 8 reps, but no more than 10. Once you are able to perform the higher rep requirement, up the weight.

So if you bench 120 for 10 reps, then 120 for 8 reps, start with 130 next week. It is important to remember not to sacrifice your form just to up the weight and not to use a weight that you cannot handle. Doing these things could lend to injury. Some «cheating», using other muscle groups to assist in a lift, has its place, but at this point in time it is unnecessary.

If you feel pain, and I’m not taking about the burning sensation that goes along with weightlifting, stop. The pain I am talking about is a pain in your joints or muscle. For example, when doing flies, if you feel pain in your rotator cuff, shoulder joint, you need to rethink your form or use a lighter weight. If you still experience pain, do not perform that exercise. The saying «No pain, no gain» is not referring to an injury causes pain.

This is a basic program designed to build a solid foundation. I picked these exercises because they are basic exercises that most people know how to perform. As you advance, I suggest experimenting with different exercises, rep ranges, and sets to find out what works best for you. Everyone is different.

Rest and recuperation is very important. I suggest getting eight hours of sleep a night. If you cannot, take a short nap during the day in addition to sleeping at night.

Cardio

Perform 20 minutes of cardio, two times a week. This can be done on the days of your choice. If you decide to do it on the days you lift, make sure it is at least eight hours before or after your lifting.

Supplements

Supplements are used to give your nutrition a boost. If your diet isn’t up to par, then using the latest supplements is not going to produce impressive gains. Here are the supplement I suggest you start with.

Whey Protein Powder

Whey protein comes from milk. It is separated from milk. Whey protein has a very fast absorption rate of around ten minutes. It also provided the needed branch-chain amino acids. This makes it a perfect protein to take after your workout.

After a workout, your body is hungry! The body is like a sponge, ready to soak up as much nutrients as it can. This is where whey comes into play. Because of its fast absorption rate, whey allows your muscles to «soak» it up quickly. This prevents catabolism, the breakdown of muscle, from occurring.

I recommend Optimum Nutrition’s Whey Protein. It is a great protein, backed with a great price.

I order for your body to function properly, a wide variety of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients are needed. Being deficient in any one of these vital necessities could stumble your performance in the gym and your muscle growth. It would be nearly impossible to get everything your body needs just from food. Therefore, you should take a multivitamin. Take your multi-vitamin in the morning, with your breakfast.

Классификация бодибилдинга

Бодибилдинг профессиональный — IFBB Professional League

В современной индустрии бодибилдинга, профессионалом обычно называют бодибилдера, победившего на любительских квалификационных соревнованиях и заработавшего за это профессиональную карту — Pro Card от IFBB (Международная Федерация Бодибилдеров).

Бодибилдеры, которые стали обладателем ПРО-карты, автоматически становятся профессионалами и имеют право выступать в турнирах, которые стоят на ступень выше любительского бодибилдинга. К примеру, в таких как «Арнольд Классик», «Ночь Чемпионов», а так же другие профессиональные турниры IFBB со значительными призовыми фондами.

Победители и спортсмены, в свою очередь, показавшие высокие результаты на профессиональных турнирах, поучают возможность участвовать в конкурсе Мистер Олимпия. Титул Мистер Олимпия является высшей наградой в области профессионального бодибилдинга.

Бодибилдинг любительский — Amateur Bodybuilding

К любителям в бодибилдинге можно отнести всех спортсменов, которые занимаются данным видом спорта, но не стали еще обладателями ПРО-карты. Однако, между спортсменами, которые занимаются профессионально и простыми любителями, есть огромные отличия.

Профессионалы, как правило, занимаются по 5-6 тренировок в неделю, и по несколько раз в день, чтобы добиться максимального результата, используют в процессе тренировки профессиональную экипировку и строго соблюдают режим питания. Спортивное питание в их рационе — обязательное. Любители занимаются через день, при этом не всегда успевают попасть на тренировку. Не заостряют особого внимания на питании, а отношение к спортивному питанию нейтральное.

Самое главное отличие, профессиональный бодибилдинг – это работа на износ, которая подразумевает использование дополнительных необходимых препаратов для организма, а любительский бодибилдинг, в свою очередь, приносит удовольствие и здоровье.

Соревновательные дисциплины бодибилдинге:

  1. Мужской бодибилдинг(Men’s Bodybuilding).
  2. Классический бодибилдинг(Classic Physique).
  3. Пляжный бодибилдинг(Men’s Physique).

Бодибилдинг натуральный — «без химии»

Существуют такие организации как NANBF (Северная Американская Федерация Естественного Бодибилдинга) и NPD (Ассоциация Естественного Телосложения), которые пропагандируют так называемый натуральный бодибилдинг. Эти ассоциации стараются искоренить употребление анаболических стероидов и других фармакологических препаратов в бодибилдинге.

Спортсмены, занимающиеся бодибилдингом «без химии» считают, что их метод более ориентирован на естественную конкуренцию и здоровый образ жизни.

Бодибилдинг женский

Основой женского бодибилдинга можно считать первый женский национальный чемпионат Physique, проведенный в USA в 1978 году в городе Кантон в Огайо. Этот чемпионат является родоначальником женского бодибилдинга, в котором победительниц оценивали исключительно по мускулатуре.

С тех пор проводится множество женских конкурсов, самым престижным из которых является «Мисс Олимпия». Рэйчел Маклиш стала первой обладательницей титула «Мисс Олимпия» в 1980 году.

Существуют следующие женские категории в бодибилдинге:

  1. Фитнес. Оценивается атлетическая форма, гибкость, движения в танце.
  2. Фитнес бикини. Оценивается более мягкий вид мышц. У участниц больший процент жира (12-14%).
  3. Вуменс физик. Переименовынная категориф «Женский бодибилдинг» в 2013. Стали оцениваться более привлекательные девушки. За явные мужские черты снижается оценка.
  4. Бодифитнес. Похожая категория на фитнес бикини, но с более прокаченными и объемными формами. Покожный жир в организме в пределах 10%-12%.

Best-Tasting Protein Powder

Kaged Muscle MicroPure uses a mix of traditional and natural sweeteners to create a shake that tastes amazing with no aftertaste. It comes in chocolate and vanilla as well as fun flavors such as coffee latte and cinnamon roll.

Reasons to buy:

  • Whey isolate with enzyme technology
  • Sweetened with sucralose and stevia
  • Free of artificial flavors and colors
  • Low in sugar and fat
  • Developed by Kris Gethin

The yummiest things in life are not always the healthiest. So it’s a pleasant surprise that the best-tasting protein powder is also one of the best for you.

Kaged MicroPure Whey Protein Isolate earns plenty of 10/10 scores on our site for having great flavors without the chemical taste. That’s because it’s free of artificial flavors and partially stevia-sweetened—but only partially, so you don’t get a weird stevia aftertaste as with some natural options. It also mixes well, which is a plus when you drink your protein shaken rather than blended. The coffee latte and cinnamon roll flavors rack up the most positive reviews.

On top of all that, MicroPure happens to be a really high-quality product. It’s a whey protein isolate, not a blend, which means you’re getting pure, quick-to-absorb protein with minimal fat, carbs, and lactose. It’s been processed to be extra easy to digest with Prohydrolase enzyme technology.

Best Whey Protein Powder

This combination of whey isolate, hydrolysate, and concentrate rises above competing value products, many of which use fillers and lower-quality ingredients. It scores fantastic flavor ratings, too.

Reasons to buy:

  • Whey isolate, hydrolysate, and concentrate
  • Seasonal flavors available
  • Exceptional value
  • Developed by Bodybuilding.com

Even if it wasn’t our «house» brand, this would still be our go-to for whey, primarily because it’s a fantastic combination of value and quality. While many value brands’ products are primarily whey protein concentrate, Signature 100% Whey has an impressive profile of 13 grams of isolate and 6 grams each of hydrolysate and concentrate. That means you have a lot of clean, quick-digesting, low-carb protein, with just enough whey concentrate for a creamy flavor and texture.

Simply put, it tastes really good. In reviews, customers rave about the delicious flavors and lack of a synthetic aftertaste. Mocha cappuccino and seasonal favorite oatmeal cookie are the most-praised flavors.

Nutrition

The most crucial part of bodybuilding is nutrition. Without a proper diet, you simply will not make good gains. Nutrition is the first thing many new bodybuilders overlook. They fall under the assumption that they can receive impressive gains by taking the newest supplements. Supplement companies also do a good job of hyping up their products. When it all boils down though, your diet should be the first thing you examine.

Diet Guidelines

  • At least 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight
  • 2 grams of carbs per pound of body weight
  • 0.4 grams fat per pound of bodyweight

Here is an example for someone weighing 130 pounds.

  • Protein: 130 grams
  • Carbs: 260 grams
  • Fat: 52 grams
  • Total calories: 2028

That is the minimum I suggest in taking. If you need to eat more, meaning you are not gaining weight, increase you protein and carbs. Of course drink plenty of water. Try to get a gallon a day.

Best Protein Powder for Women

Revel is a high-quality but affordable protein that’s perfect added to smoothies or just shaken with water. As a bonus, it contains enzymes, CLA, and choline, so you get multiple benefits in one supplement.

Reasons to buy:

  • Contains digestive enzymes, choline, and CLA
  • Women and men can use it
  • Blend of whey and casein proteins
  • No added sugars
  • Simple, clean-tasting flavors

It’s common for products marketed to women to just «shrink it and pink it.» But this is a hard-hitting product that provides good quality at a good price, which makes it our choice for the best protein powder for women.

Revel is a popular choice for adding to smoothies. The simple flavors blend well with fresh ingredients, and with no chalky flavor, they make for a natural-tasting smoothie. But Revel blends just as well and tastes just as great combined with water in a shaker bottle.

Supplements

Supplements are used to give your nutrition a boost. If your diet isn’t up to par, then using the latest supplements is not going to produce impressive gains. Here are the supplement I suggest you start with.

Whey Protein Powder

Multivitamin

I order for your body to function properly, a wide variety of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients are needed. Being deficient in any one of these vital necessities could stumble your performance in the gym and your muscle growth. It would be nearly impossible to get everything your body needs just from food. Therefore, you should take a multivitamin. Take your multi-vitamin in the morning, with your breakfast.

Best Protein Powder for Building Muscle

NitroTech 100% Whey Gold is a highly bioavailable protein that’s formulated specifically for gaining lean mass and is easy for your body to absorb.

Reasons to buy:

  • Whey peptides and isolate
  • Free of artificial flavors and colors
  • Low in sugar and fat
  • Large value size available

This whey protein powder is the best for building quality mass because it was specifically designed to do just that, unlike others made to be used for multiple purposes.

We chose this protein for its smart formulation. The 24 grams of protein in each scoop includes 5.5 grams of BCAAs, the amino acids specifically responsible for muscle protein synthesis. But what sets it apart is the addition of whey peptides, which are highly bioavailable and enable better recovery from tough workouts. Translation: Build more muscle from your workouts and be ready to go back and crush another one sooner.
