Whey is fast absorbing, because almost all the other proteins absorb slower. This. And I'd like to add, the reason why whey is absorbed quicker is because the stuff you use is ground up really fine. This gives more surface area for your body to metabolize in your stomach/small intestine. But there's more. After a workout, your metabolism takes a little while to restart. If you're getting hungry during a workout, you're doing something wrong. Drinking a protein shake is an easier way for your body to begin digesting instead of a solid piece of cheese, even though both have the same proteins. | ||

Whey is fast absorbing, because almost all the other proteins absorb slower. My point wasn't that "protein powder is a liquid" it was to point out that the reason things get digested faster is because of the number of steps needed to digest them - liquids have fewer steps than solids, and whey has fewer steps than casein. Powder gets digested faster than larger meals too, but slower than liquid because it has a higher surface:area ratio, so a greater proportion of enzymes can be active upon it at a given time. That's how biology works. And my second point was that "fast" is a relative term, and what you were calling "fast" still takes over 3 hours to digest a single scoop from a protein shake, not counting what you mix it with. | ||

It's very hard to hurt yourself because worse comes to worse and feel like anything hurts you just drop the bar and get out of the way. Any sort of proper heavy lifting is going to put stress on your spine, which is not a bad thing. Your spine is built to support weight so as long as you keep proper form there's no worries. It will also make your spine stronger which will help you in MMA and life in general. Yeah, I don't know if it came across correctly, but I wasn't trying to say that you could be crushed under the BB. If your back doesn't stay straight enough, you have an extreme amount of stress put on intervertebral discs in your lower back, and you run the risk of a serious injury. Not much of a problem if you do it properly, because it doesn't happen. My point is : it's very hard to do it properly. I tried a BB military press, but I have too much trouble keeping my back straight while doing it, so olympic lifting is out of question for now. I'm becoming able to do a couple exercices I couldn't do because of joint flexibility problems. Maybe olympic lifting'll be be one of them someday.

Helps that they're generally trained in very low reps as well so you don't get exhausted during a set. Like with deadlift, I once was grinding out a rep and it slipped out of my left hand, ended up with me falling over backwards with the 200kg bar down on top of me (shins still vertical), luckily all I got was two bruised quads (and pride). Super safe though. I don't know anyone who has gotten injured from lifting, can't say the same for "safe" stuff like football (soccer) though, I've never understood how they get so many injuries, more than rugby. Yeah you got off lucky  The most common injury when you're playing football (so, soccer yeah) is with the menisc. There are various injuries based on that (shattered menisc, sometimes it just leaves the knee and wanders around your shin, ...), most of them requiring surgery. Also since there are many cases of muscle/tendon/ligament hyperextension, they can be torn pretty easily too. | ||

FS- 70 100 120 130 140 150 then 10 singles of 160 every minute. CJ- 70 100 120 130 133 137 140 143x 143 147(no jerk) Snatch - 70 90x(rofl) 90 100 110 120 125x Where in america are you going to? If you're going to play WR and bulk a bit you're going to want to focus on a lot of skill specific things like agility, route running, and hand skills.

Right now I play quarterback for a team in Sweden, but I'm going to a school in america this fall to study and play football. I figured I'm not nearly good enough to play QB in a US team so I figured I was gonna switch to my old position of Wr/Safety. I'm 6'3 and 198 pounds, I feel like I need to go up a couple pounds, maybe 205 something would be enough and not loose speed. Tips on stuff that will help you bulk up but maintain speed would be appreciated. Right now I do: Deadlift: 365 lbs x3 Bench: 176 x5 Squats:286 x3 Dips + 55 x8 Thanks! You are plenty big to play WO in high school. I agree with Decaf, your biggest issue will be skills and agility/speed. Also standards for high school football are very very varied across the US. | ||

Number of steps? This doesn't change. And I think you meant surface area:volume ratio. Also, it takes considerably longer than 3 hours to fully metabolize anything that's not a sugar or water. But, honestly, who cares. We drink whey for DAT PRO-TEIN. | ||

It may be semantics as well, but casein doesn't "absorb" more slowly, because casein doesn't get absorbed. Amino acids get absorbed. Casein takes a long time to digest because of acid coagulation, so surface area etc. | ||

I'm going to a Junior college in California, don't know how it compares to high school level but I guess similar or slightly better. Workout question: I've never really done deadlifts before, so the 365x3 was just trying out how far I could go yesterday, but today my lower back and abs are killing me ( not injury pain, post workout soreness). Is it supposed to hit back/abs more than legs? | ||
