Bad choice (Myofusion). Myofusion is a 70% protein product made up of mostly whey concentrates. ON's Pro Complex APS on the other hand is a much purer 85% protein product made up of only whey isolates (no concentrates) + Egg albumin + BCAA (14grams) + Glutamine (10.5 grams). It is mostly fast acting (except for the egg albumin) and is perfect PWO.

Myo also has other ingredients so comparing percentages is close to irrelevant. And the protein is not all concentrate either. And one more thing - blends of "fast" and "slow" proteins are not inferior to all "fast" acting proteins. On the contrary they confer their own benefits, perform equivocally, but may even have the upper hand in some instances.

Start here and educate yourself to prevent the delivery further nonsense.

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

I use a protein blend for PWO, and it has worked well for me. There are also a few studies that have shown blends to be more effective than whey-only products for PWO.

Personally I am not a huge fan of Optimum and have only purchased Pro Complex once, but it is a popular product and should work fine for you.
