Protein powder users will be more than familiar with the classic tub sizes of 2lbs and 5lbs, with some other common options out there being a 1lber, and in some cases, at legacy giants like Optimum Nutrition and MuscleTech, you can get their flagship protein supplements in 10lb bags. The biggest we had ever seen previously was the 25kg or 55lb bag of MuscleWhey from France’s NutriMuscle, although that has been beaten by a notable name here in the US and by a substantial amount.
MusclePharm’s Combat protein powder is available in three sizes at the moment, with classic 2lb and 4lb jugs and a slightly larger 6.2lb. Over at musclepharm.com, there is also a dedicated page for a significantly much bigger container or technically barrel that blows everything else we’ve ever seen completely out of the water. That size is an absolutely giant 200lb drum of Combat Protein Powder, working out to a ridiculous 2,542 servings, each providing 25g of protein and 130 calories.
The mammoth-sized barrel of Combat Protein Powder has the same formula and nutrition as the smaller options, with that 25g of protein coming from a blend of whey concentrate, isolate, and hydrolysate, milk concentrate, and egg albumin. It is exclusively available in classic Chocolate Milk and Vanilla flavors, and as for the price, it is listed at $3,499, which actually works out to about $69.98 per 4lbs, the same cost as a standard 4lb bottle of Combat Protein Powder through MusclePharm’s online store.
MusclePharms’ 200lb Combat Protein Powder is mostly more convenient, where you don’t need to get multiple 4lb tubs, instead you get the single drum and you’re good to go. There is a catch with the supersized supplement in that it is exclusive to collegiate programs, pro shops, universities, and high schools. To purchase it, there is an application on the product page at musclepharm.com, also giving individuals the chance to make their case to be allowed to order one. That form directs you to inquire for pricing, so those who qualify may also be able to get a better offer than $3,499.
