Ha, this happened to me. Don't rush back too soon and give it time to heal. I broke my pinky finger playing football without realising (thought it was just jarred) and deadlifting with it was really painful. I'm pretty sure it contributed to making the injury much worse so it might be worth giving up deadlifts for a while (the other lifts I did all seemed to be fine).

I'm not sure if protein supplements such as creatine, whey & casein are truly good for you. They merely increase water muscle mass and mess with the usual balances of proteins gained from eating normal foods. You will get "swole" from them, but the muscle mass you're putting on isn't the desirable lean muscle mass.

It would be better for your body to have a peanut butter sandwich or other natural proteins (beef, chicken, fish, etc.) immediately after working out..

uhhh?

Whey and casein are pure protein (well, different types of protein from dairy). Your body in general doesn't care where it gets its protein sources for building muscle. So if you need extra protein those are good sources.

Also, vegetetable type protein actually has lower absorption rates than animal proteins so peanut butter, beans, etc all that kind stuff isn't actually a better source of protein than whey, casein, and animal proteins

Secondly, creatine is basically an energy carrier within the cell. Yes, it does draw water in but it generally allows you to get a few extra reps in during workout which will allow better stimulus for muscle mass. So it's not a protein supplement... and it's generally effective for adding muscle mass.

Though i agree generally -- eat real foods.

Not sure where RAGEMOARs comment came from, but we would generally advocate protein from meat anyways... probably something in the OP about supplements that I completely forgot about

If you can't get enough protein in natural foods (high school kid who can't change the family's eating patterns comes to mind) then sure, use some whey and such. I'd usually chalk that up to lazyness and not wanting to cook for most people though.

I get irritated when I see creatine myths being spouted.... probably the one supplement that has the most myths around it he said/she said without people looking up what it actually does physiologically in the body

Myths in general make me very upset. The ones on dietary fat and cholesterol really get me

When my cell bio professor discusses the reasons that high cholesterol is dangerous, Ii'm ok with that. The man studies cell membrane proteins for a living, he knows about cholesterol. When he says things like "stop eating egg yolks for lower cholesterol" I'm less ok with it. When he says something about how its better to eat only polyunsaturated fats, despite the fact that he just discussed the process by which saturated fats are naturally made in animals, I am just not ok.

I start my nutrition minor next semester.... i just have to wonder how much of it is going to make sense at all.

how do you guys calm yourselves down?

Like I need to calm the fuck up, and relax a bit. I'm just having problems doing so. I need to get drunk, and scream some Barça goals.

The boys weekend fuck si.

Depends really...a good lifting session really calms me down, a really good "lumma" (a form of smokeless tobacco, like dip / whatever), some kick ass heavy metal...a good fuck.

Also watching champions league with a cold beer with some friends

Quick Question: I am running 4 days a week and doing some moderately intense lifting (i'm not trying to get big, just toned). Should I have a leg workout day if i'm running 4 times a week? I would assume if I was lifting hard I would just to stay in proportion, but like I said I'm really not trying to add tons of muscle

I'm having consuming the huge amounts of food for gaining muscle/weight while doing SS. Do you guys have tips? I've been drinking a lot of whole fat milk as that is easy to both buy/consume, but real food is both kinda expensive and timeconsuming to prepare? Sometimes i just chow down on 1 litre of 3 % fat yoghurt.

Sorry for repeat of topic if there has been adequate coverage of this already.

Oh yeah and accidently chewing on fish oil pills while eating supper is fucking disguisting man lol. Feels like a gay fish just came in my mouth rofl.
