i dont see i how whey protein is bad. i think someone said it was bad for u???? look on the back of the box it gives u 20 grams of protein which is %40 of ur daily nutrition. how can that be harmful. whey protein is what ur body needs. there are more than 1 type of protein and whey protein has every one of them......

In my opinion, the only real "bad" thing about whey is that it gets digested too quickly which makes casein a better alternative in keeping your body from catabolizing.

okay, maybe whey protein; but creatine, nope. I thought the rule of thumb was a gram of protein per body pound a day

That depends. If you're trying to build, it's recommended that you take 2g/lb.

yeah i think its like 2g are found in every pound of meat. do you think taking a glutamine supplement is worth it?

I think it's definitely worth it. If you've never taken it, you'll really notice a difference in how sore you are the next day. It makes your muscles recover faster after your workout so you can train as hard the next day.

Plus you can get it really cheap.

Everytime I get up to 65-70 dumbell sets on I have problems with my rotator cuff.

Try turning your elbows in toward your torso, works perfectly for me and my bad rotator cuff.

I would never recommend whey protein to a woman, it just makes them bloat. SOY ALL THE WAY

Glutamine is DEFINITELY something that should be included in your supplements. Glutamine increases growth hormone secretion, reduces muscle soreness, speeds recovery, assists your body in times of stress, stimulates protein synthesis, volumes muscles, provides immune system support, and helps support numerous internal organs.

 

I mix a scoop of glutamine with whey immediately post workout.

The key to protien supplementation is to take it more often rather than big servings. A persons body only stores enough amino acids for something like 3 hours of of normal chemical reactions happening in their body all the time. After that runs out they start to break down muscle to get the needed amino acids. Bodybuilders recommend 6 small meals a day for that reason, so you have a constant intake of protien so their body doesn't need to catabolize. I haven't read this whole thread but anyway, I'm 6'1" 170lbs my max bench is 255. I also was in a bench press competition where people had to lift their own weight for reps, I got 170lbs up 19 times. Of course I lost horribly to a guy who was like 5', 150lbs and got over 40 reps.
