When the price fell below $1.50 I rage quit and stopped looking at my portfolio and hotcopper as it was just depressing. Thought I'd take a sneaky look and pleased to see the price is starting to correct (can't say the same for my MGC holding though!).
Anyway, I digress. I was hoping to get some insight on why Musashi has a bad name in the supp industry. I started lifting within the last year and a half and have used Musashi as my whey of choice for most of this time. I chose Musashi as in terms of $ per gram of protein it was very competitive (through catch of the day). I got some great gains out of Musashi. Within the last 3 months I've switched to Optimum Nutrition (again, price was the main factor) and have not really noticed a huge difference between the products.
Does the bad rep come from the fact that Musashi distributes through the major supermarkets and discount chemists, and not through dedicated supp stores - thus giving the perception that it's lower quality? Is this something Vitaco should work on (ie it's rep within the supp and gym-goer world)?
Anyway, just some thoughts. At the end of the day, in terms of gains, I'd say supps are only 5% of the equation.
