silly question here

if 2 people are working out the same, lets say every second day in the gym, doing mostly weights, and one drinks a protein shake before and after the workout, what difference would it make?

i assume it means the person drinking the shake will build muscle quicker? does that mean he's actually be stronger or will he just look stronger?!

you have permission to put this in the stupidest health and fitness thing after you answer the questions

Depends on their diets over all. Protein supplements are just that. Supplements to a diet like.

Rossin · 13-04-2011 8:28pm

well according to fitday im about 50% carb 30% fat 20% protein

would it be worth my while taking supplements? ive been trying to change my diet but its hard cause i still live at home so while its all well and good to try eat more meat and less carbs, when its put in front of you there's not much you can do

im in the gym at least every second day and running/football on other days

No harm in trying. Dunno what your gaols are. Drinking milk for mass works generally. I have a protein shake with dinner and a VitC+zinc tablet.

There's a section for diet and supplements on this forum too.

Not benching for months has a negative impact on your pressing strength.

Who'd have thunk it.

Ok, this video is funny for two reasons:

1. They are actually taking it serious
2. They actually managed to fit steamed broccoli into the lyrics

Enjoy

A bannana.
Handful of Blueberries.
A pear.
Handful of mixed berries.
2-3 scoops of whey.
Milk.

Blend.

Wussing out of breakfast never tasted so good.

Looks like you were right, our bench is probably about the same now...
Next you'll be growing tiny calves and a mohawk

lads/ladies quick question

would it be counter productive to work out twice a day?

ive started doing weights in the morning before my friend goes to work, he has a nice set up in his garage ,we do about 40 min

but seen as im off college for the summer i have a lot more time on my hands and the days are long when you get up at 7am, would it be counter productive to go to the gym myself a few hours later? should i just aim for muscles that hadnt been used so much that morning? bit of a noob to weights

i do intend on running/sprints quite a bit but at the moment with a leg injury it'll have to wait
