First post so feel free to roast me.

Everything Musashi is half price at Chemist warehouse, instore and online. Combine with free postage if over $50 for a great deal.
Similar to this expired deal https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/521425.

No idea when it ends, so get in quick. Obviously a much lower quality than the likes of BulkNutrients but at this price its a no brainer.

https://www.chemistwarehouse.com.au/search?searchtext=musash…

Edit: Sale ends 29/10. Thanks to chewkl for the info
Edit2: It appears some stores are still doing the buy 5x bars andget 5% off, or 10x bars and get 10% promo, which stacks with this deal. My local (Abbotsford, VIC) wasn't doing this when I checked.

    Why is it "a much lower quality"? I've got both brands and Musashi feels a bit more premium.

    • SpeedRunnerLink on 18/10/2020 - 12:23

      Agreed, I have been using it for a couple of years and my "farts" arent as bad as some other brands.

      Only issue is that it is on the little on the sweet side.

      • PatoriaN on 18/10/2020 - 12:40

        Yes, it depends on the actual product also. I have moved over to one of their proteins and it's much better (taste, packaging ingredients and formula) then bulk nutrients similar product.

      Rather than “feel” I guess the key question is where they source their raws and if they independently test.

      It's been a while, but the last time I compared the nutrition table of Musashi with other brands, Musashi had one of the highest carbohydrate / lowest protein per weight ratios (which most people would perceive as worse value for money).

      • mfazackerley on 18/10/2020 - 21:56
        +3

        Yeh that's exactly what I was referring to and it's what others have mentioned.

        The one advantage Musashi does have over BulkNutrientd for example is the amount BCAA's included but generally Kj count is much higher with musashi

      • stoffo on 18/10/2020 - 23:09

        The Dark Choc Salted Caramel High Protein bar has 45 grams of protein and 1.7g of carbs. Can you show me a bar anywhere that can do better than that? Let alone one that tastes delicious. I'll wait.

        • mfazackerley on 19/10/2020 - 13:31

          BulkNutrients don't make bars so it's only powder we are referring to. No one is arguing about musashis bars, they are great.

      Got one - Musashi 100% Whey 2kg for $39.99

      My wife uses the empty containers to store dry foods in the kitchen (pasta / flour / etc…)

      You can also use them as a pot plant by drilling a few holes at the bottom.

    • m0tyrider on 27/10/2020 - 10:53

      The servicing sizes are different and its Whey vs non whey.

  • Willco88 on 18/10/2020 - 12:42

    • Arthur Dunger on 18/10/2020 - 12:57
      +1

      Different ingredients & protein %.

      The "High Protein" doesn't necessarily mean it has higher protein than the others.

    • Bigredkeg on 18/10/2020 - 12:58
      +1

      BN is basically 100% concentrate or isolate depending on which one you buy. The high protein is a blend of concentrate, milk solids, and isolate (probs very small amounts).

      Personally I prefer spending 30$ a kg for isolate at aminoz.

      • Willco88 on 18/10/2020 - 13:20

        Yeah I buy mine from AminoZ as well 75% protein per serve roughly $30 KG half the stuff you get from supermarkets is not good quality at all

    • PoKGuy on 18/10/2020 - 13:21

      How does the Shred & Burn formula compares to the High Protein ?

      From the description, it adds:

      "Hydroxycitrate complex 1.5g (1500mg) - equiv. hydroxycitric acid (HCA) from Garcinia cambogia 825mg, Caffeine 100 mg, Nicotinic acid 50 mg, Theobroma cocao (Cocoa) dry seed powder 4g (4000g)",

      which (apparently) is something that increases metabolism, reduces appetite and weight gain.

      • buckster on 18/10/2020 - 14:49
        +2

        HCA - studies exist which show no effect on fat loss.
        Caffeine - self explanatory
        Nicotinic acid - this is just vitamin B3 (Niacin)
        Cocoa - not evidence based

      • Lionchu on 18/10/2020 - 15:14

        High protein has more than double the protein

  • RacingBull1 on 18/10/2020 - 13:03

    this thing needs to be taken in consideration.

    Better options for WPC / WPI e.g bulk nutrients, VPA etc, but Musashi's protein bars are great - some of the tastiest i've had. Getting a tub of creatine monohydrate at that price is a no brainer too.

    • PoKGuy on 18/10/2020 - 13:23

      ^^^ Yep, thinking the same.

      Add the creatine and a protein bar to reach the $50 free delivery threshold.

    • anthonyqld on 25/10/2020 - 01:01

      Agree. I use VPA protein powder, and pre-workout, but creatine is creatine no matter the brand. This is a fantastic price

      • NedStark102 on 26/10/2020 - 17:11

        Yeah VPA is great - their flavours are significantly better than Bulk Nutrients for me. Salted Caramel, Choc Banana and Vanilla are all better than any others i've tried

    I personally buy 5kg wpi VPA each time which costs like $150 delivered.
    4kg of 100% whey at $80 is a steal. Altho musashi claim its a blend of wpc and wpi.. not necesaairly good for leaning, youd ideally want wpi on its own

  • Kremleen on 18/10/2020 - 15:31

    Just a question. Has anyone with lactose intolerance used WPI and has problems? I'm thinking of buying the plant protein but the wpi seems cheaper. I want to use protein powder as an extra energy supply so not fuss about carbs (actually the more carbs the better for me because my metabolism is really fast).

    Cheers

      Try a single serve drink uht Musashi High protein drink. See if you get itchy skin or other effects. I was never intolerant until I did a few fad diets and must have triggered something. Musashi is usually ok, not too bad for me. Some brands are really bad for some reason. You can also get samples from different websites and see if they affect you. Bulk nutrients samples

  • LlamaFace on 18/10/2020 - 15:38

  • punkfans on 18/10/2020 - 15:43

    Being asian, these kind of products are quite popular among my parents and their friends. But I, for one, never tried it before. Shouldn't we focus on a more balanced diet instead?
    It's always intriguing to me and I wonder how many of you actually take this kind of supplements on a daily basis?

    • Unorthodox on 18/10/2020 - 16:56
      +2

      Very much dependent on your individual goals and requirements.

      Balanced diet: not everyone is able to meet the suggested servings of X,y,z, fruit, vegetables, macros etc and also not compromise the ratios.

      The point is that these are supplements, being that they're intended not to replace a balanced diet. Simply put, your own lifestyle choices or genetics may require you to supplement with vitamins, more of X product or in this case protein.

    • Fresh TNs Lad on 18/10/2020 - 17:02
      +2

      I've consumed either VPA or bulk nutrients protein powder + creatine daily for years. These products supplement a balanced diet. Having a balanced diet and consuming a (high quality) protein shake are not mutually exclusive-
      A good protein shake will give you a substantial amount of quickly digested protein, often per serve they're cheap as chips* and are portable. Of course you should be having 1.2g/kg + of protein per day via whole foods, nutrient rich carbohydrates and plenty of fibrous fruits and veggies. But these are quick, relatively very cheap and healthy supplements to a balanced diet.
      Edit: 1kg of VPA protein powder for $24 / 30 serves = 80c per serve. Many fold cheaper than a cup of coffee

    • Cave Fire on 18/10/2020 - 18:15

      If you do any training or even regular exercise, there is a big difference in recovery using protein. When I was vegetarian, it seemed to help with energy as well. If you log your macros, it's easy to get carbs and fats filled, but protein not so much. So people are using protein powder to get a balanced diet.

  • Mr BoMBAStiG on 18/10/2020 - 17:47

    Usually $65 for 2kg of Musashi 100% whey at CW. Goes to $39 a few times a year. Don't stress about this deal, it's a regular sale price.
