Summary

For the serious athlete, this Optimum Nutrition gold standard protein supplement provides very highly concentrated whey protein isolates to optimally feed those hard-trained muscles. Ground delivery is 1 or 2 business days to most USA locations.

Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Gold Standard is a premium whey protein supplement, and arguably the best one available. Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Gold Standard contains Optimum Nutrition's exclusive, proprietary blend of:

Microfiltered Whey Protein Isolates.
Ion-Exchanged Whey Protein Isolates.
Ultrafiltered Whey Protein Concentrate.
HydroWhey Hydrolyzed Whey Peptides.

This combination gives you more of what you want (pure, unadulterated whey protein) with less of what you don't (fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, lactose, and other carbohydrates) with every serving.

Usage

Suggested Use: To encourage a positive nitrogen balance, consume about 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight per day from a combination of high protein foods and supplements.

Better Use: For even better results, consume your daily protein allotment over 4-6 small meals spread evenly through the day. Example: 180 lb x 1 g protein/lb body = 180 g/day. 180 g/6 small meals = 30 g of protein/meal.

Best Use: Whey is a fast-absorbing protein. Use whey in the morning and on training days following a workout, when your muscles are depleted and starving for protein. Use a protein blend on rest days and for your last meal or snack of the day.

Blender. (Easy: A little more involved but worth the trouble.) Add one scoop of ON 100% Whey Gold Standard to a blender filled with 6-8 fl oz of your favorite beverage. Cover and blend for 20-30 seconds. Add 1-2 ice cubes than blend for an additional 30 seconds.
Serve. For a delicious smoothie, try adding your favorite fruit, peanut butter, yogurt, shredded coconut, and/or other ingredients (along with ice cubes) to your blended whey protein shake. Don't forget to account for the calories, carbohydrates, protein, fat, and other nutrients that these foods contribute to your shake.
Shaker. (Easier: Quick & convenient.) Fill a shaker bottle with 6-8 fl oz of your favorite beverage. Add one scoop of 100% Whey Gold Standard. Cover and shake for 25-30 seconds. Enjoy.
Glass & Spoon. (Easiest: Fast & simple.) Simply add one scoop of 100% Whey Gold Standard to a tall glass. Add 6-8 fl oz of your favorite beverage. Mix with a spoon for about 20 seconds or until powder is well disbursed. Store in a cool, dry place.

Notice: Use this product as a food supplement only. Do not use for weight reduction.

Tips

Training tip

Increase the intensity of your workout (fewer reps per set, with heavier weight in each set). If you do 3 sets of 10 reps, you are sacrificing intensity for conformity. Change that silly pattern before supplementing. You should find each set harder to do than the last, so it will necessarily consist of either fewer reps or less weight. If each set is the same, you are doing something wrong. Think about the logic, here. Then, implement the change and watch your results improve.
