5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Put: The best protein powder there is., May 5, 2009

By 

Enthu Hiryu (Minnesota) - See all my reviews

AST VP2 is an incredibly effective protein. I began lifting weights in 2002 at a starting weight of only 117 lbs ( am 5'7" and tend to have a lean build). I used GNC whey protein powder and was able to put on a few pounds and up how much I was lifting, but never really got the results I wanted. I began to experiment with a few more proteins, such as ones offered by Cytosport, Optimum nutrition and several other varieties available at GNC. I would certainly consider myself a hard gainer.

Then in late 2005 I moved in with a freind from work who was an amature body builder. He gave me an idea of how to build up my routines more effectively. I began doing this and it made some difference, but I was still not getting the gains I wanted.

My goals have always been to have a lean athletic build with maxium defintion and a decent amount of muscle mass. I just want to be healthy and look great with my shirt off. The kind of look you can only get from the dedication in diet and exercise.

I had been using, at that time, ON whey and ocasionaly some Wal-Mart whey isolate brand. My roommate, who was capable of benching 500 lbs, suggested I try a different protein. He reccomended his prfference -AST VP2 - and got me 2lb container in chocolate.

Within 2 weeks I was already pushing heavier weights and my veins were more noticeable. after 2 months, my biceps (which is one of my hardest muscles get gains in) were noticeable bigger and my workouts didn't burn me out as much. after 3 months of use my incline bench press went from 120 lbs to 165 and I was able to push 190 standard bench. I could then curl My roommates 45 lbs dumbells too!I had finnally found a protein that worked with my body!

AST always maximizes my gains, though one other protein comes close, VP2 is unsurpasssed. While using VP2, my weight went from low 120 to about 138 at 5"7" with single digit body fat. I also maintained a VERY lean body with visibile striations though my chest and I also maintained excellent abdominal definition (much to the envy of my other fitness-minded friends).

As for flavor, it is not the best chocolate ever, but is far from bad. I do like it. AST's Citrus splash VP2 and chocolate are their best. They also do not use any aspartame!

So, if you are a hard gainer like me, This will likely turn it around. Even if your goals are different than mine (as my roommates were), I reccommend giving AST VP2 a shot to see what it does for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best available., December 4, 2007

I have been a natural bodybuilder for over 10 years and have used the product as my primary source of protien supllementation. This is the best tasting, easy mixing whey protein I have ever tried. On many trips I have taken I have been unable to get a jug of this after running out and have had to try other brands and formulations and nothing but Isopure Carb Free comes even close. If you search on the net, you can find this stuff for less than $25.00 for 2lbs. Try it and you will never use another whey protein.

This review is from: Ast Sports Science VP2 Citrus Splash, 2-pounds Tub (Health and Beauty)

It's hard to review an item that doesn't give instant results. Like with all protein powders, if you don't put in the work you won't see the results. through out the internet this protein gets great reviews in testing for ingredients and usable protein. I have had steady increases while using the product without plateau, and for me that is what i'm shooting for. This is a very highly rated protein from many fitness sites and, and I do get steady gain! As far as taste and ease of mixing, I didn't buy it to compare to a blizzard from dairy queen, but it goes down just fine and I'm going for the best volume of whey isolates in my after workout shake. And that is exactly what I get!
