I was actually just thinking that I should pick some up this weekend and start it. if you're trying to build some muscle you're doing yourself a disservice by not taking anything. If you start taking consuming lots of whey be prepared, nobody tells you this, but you're going to get real gassy  | ||

I never got gassy from whey, especially not like I do from grains or soy. And I say that having done an apex predator type diet for a couple of months. So two shakes of two scoops in water every day, and three more shakes of two scoops twice a week during a psmf. | ||

If you are serious about lifting and gaining muscle or strength you should be taking a whey shake. There's nothing else that is as cost effective. I've averaged maybe a protein shake a week over the last couple years if that. So overrated and expensive. Only reason i have any is because I got 20 lbs of ON gold for free. Train hard and eat like an athlete. I did just start taking creatine this week finally, curious to see how that goes. Loading at around 20-30kg this week (idc if this is unnecessary, the creatine was free too) then 5g/day maintenance after that. Probably do 2 months on 1 month off and see how it goes. | ||

Maybe you'd be stronger if you were taking whey and creatine decaf. You can pound your chest and say you are an athlete. You are clearly very strong. But it's stupid to eschew a wheelbarrow even if you could carry those bricks without one. | ||

You guys have all these articles ready to link about protein and diet, and are ready to recommend strong lifts to people. You know that whey has just as good science behind it as all those things right? | ||

I used to do them with my elbows in line with my shoulders (i.e. both shoulders and elbows were on one line), but that would give me an unpleasant feeling, almost like numbness. I read that some people shouldn't shoulder press so I switched to cuban presses. I've never liked barbell shoulder/military presses, but I've seen some some where you keep your elbows more forward. So I thought, shit, maybe I was just doing it incorrectly. cuban press is way inferior to a shoulder press, you can't switch em over. I'ts like comparing incline dumbell presses with flat bench press. At the start barbell rest on shoulders with elbows in front (this creates a shelf for the bar), barbell travels in a diagonal from the shoulders to above your head; arms will align naturally until lockout with barbell directly above your ears. If it still hurts, find out way. | ||

Could be that you're using water instead of milk. Lactose intolerance is much more common than most people are aware http://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/condition/lactose-intolerance | ||

But you need to find your daily protein, and whey is a good, cost-effective way to do it. Maybe you'd be stronger if you were taking whey and creatine decaf. You can pound your chest and say you are an athlete. You are clearly very strong. But it's stupid to eschew a wheelbarrow even if you could carry those bricks without one. Not saying that whey is bad, especially if your diet is lacking in protein, but if I'm getting 200-250g of protein a day through food sources then would I really be seeing any additional gains from a whey? I know there's plenty of science behind creatine which is why I'm giving it a try. | ||
