Gym and fitness gear has become a major part of Black Friday sales in recent years.

The Black Friday sales are currently underway, or are coming very soon for some brands, but for many major outlets in the fitness world it's all systems go and Myprotein is no different, with some big price drops already live. Whether you're looking to bulk up, cut or just keep at your own level, protein supplements are a great way to get that extra nutritional kick when you're on the go, post workout or even just need a mid-afternoon boost.

I'll be honest, Myprotein was my favourite go-to for all things gym supplements a few years back until prices started to rise in the latter stages of the pandemic as it collided with the cost of living crisis. The price hike, which they acknowledged, put me off due to the steep hike in some of my go-to products and so I started to do without and look for alternatives, but to no avail.

As of a year ago, Myprotein cited factors such as the price of Sweet Whey Protein, which they said had gone up by 87% in the previous two years, and other contributing elements such as demand outstripping supply for the reasons in the price rise. However, this latest sale has come as a shock as prices really dipped and a lot of items have deals on that brings them very closely back to pre-pandemic sale levels, making this Black Friday deal a genuine contender for one of the best sales around right now.

With that in mind, this sale is now where I expect to spend the most time during Black Friday as I look to stock up on some much needed gym supplements. Starting with a trusted item, my all-time favourite Myprotein supplement to use after a workout is the Clear Whey.

Despite being a fan of many of the protein powders on Myprotein I found the Clear Whey to be the least bloating as well as coming in a number of interesting flavours such as this amazing Mojito flavoured tub. However, there are several flavours to pick including this Clear Whey Vimto, which is now £24.49 down from the original price of £34.99, and comes in around 20 servings and is also suitable for vegetarians.

If you're thinking of switching from the more conventional protein powders to the Clear Whey then you could try this variety pack to get you started which is now £20.99 reduced from £29.99. This all in one Clear Whey is now £22.19 down from £36.99 and comes in one of my personal favourite flavours, Raspberry Lemonade.

Packing a massive 30g of protein per serving it also comes loaded with carbs and creatine making it perfect for muscle maintenance and growth. If Clear Whey doesn't sound like your type of thing then this new cost-effective protein formula is a solid alternative that you can add to your morning porridge, smoothies, or yoghurt bowls as it comes in at 18g of protein per serving and is now just £13.19 down from £21.99 which is one of the best deals on the site so far.

Some other cracking deals I uncovered, and one of my favourite deals in the whole Black Friday sale, is this 1kg of Cookies and Cream Impact Diet Whey Protein which is now £18.99 down from £37.99. You can also save £16 off 1kg of the White Gold Impact Whey Protein which is now £23.99 down from £39.99

This six-pack of BCAA Energy in Cherry Cola flavour was my favourite pre-workout as I found that it not only tastes great but it doesn't have that pulsating buzz feeling pure pre-workout powder can give you. A pack of the BCAA is now £6.59 down from £10.99 making it another deal highlight, but If you want something a little different from a mixing powder or drinks then this box of Baked Cookies, which I highly recommend, is now £9.49 down from £18.99 and makes for a tasty snack that won't derail your gym regime.

You can shop more of the Myprotein sale here but not all the best deals are strictly located on there as as this 1kg of Myprotein Impact Whey on Amazon was £39.99 but is now on sale for £23.87 while this Bulk Pure Whey Protein in a number of flavours including chocolate is now £23.94 reduced from £38.99 on Amazon.
