PROTEIN Suppliments

Any Fabbers here take protein supplement's with their diet and if so how do you get on?

I take USN Whey Protein and also USN Muscle Fuel Anabolic

The Muscle Fuel was heavy going on the stomach for a few weeks but sure helps increase muscle mass (obviously with training & weights)

.

So any advice or recommendations for good protein supplement's

.

I always found USN to be one of the best available and most easily digestible.

Always worth using creatine too if your not already.

Beyond that there is an almost endless list of additional suplamts, just depends how far you wanna go really.

as much as we piss take each other on threads, thanks for the reply, creatine is already added in the USN Muscle fuel and its a reasonable dose, I found with other creatine I was getting a lot of leg muscle cramps, (might not have been the creatine but put it down to that).

also take branch chain Amino acids and vits,

as many find; I have noticed a huge increase in squats weight

The glucose gives you a blood sugar spike. When this happens your body absorbs the protein quicker.

I just have a hand full of jelly beans before my shake.

As for what protein, I Take two.

Glucose is pure sugar you might as well eat Haribo. As for a supplement its crap carbs and only beneficial to replace glycogen stores AFTER training

It's not what you take its when you take it.

Pre workout. 1-1hr before protein and complex carbs you choose which source.

Infra workout. BCAA's. To prevent degradation.

Post work out. Immediately after. Any fast acting refined carbs. Malto, glucose, Haribo, jelly beans. Coca Cola. Followed by a protein shake.

If you wish to take a pre work out performance drink. Look for one with creatine mono in at the least. Not all creatine is the same research. With the addition is caffeine. Preferably in the anhydrous form so less of a crash.

I go for a plain whey isolate 97 protein, helps reduce bloating for me. Mixed with cocoa or blended in a fruit shake. Also add creatine monohydrate, the pure stuff. I tend to keep it simple and effective.

I'm no expert (as you may be able to tell by my intimidatingly perfect physique) but the amount of places I've read that protein supplements are generally a con of the fitness industry and that you can easily provide your body with enough protein to rebuild through a healthy diet leaves me to question whether flooding your kidneys with excess protein is a good idea.

Tried a few a couple of years back and although the results were pretty good I just couldn't handle the chronic constipation it gave me.

I've never been constipated before but it was a week at a time and agonising ..it just had to "go"!!

Excess is not good, it can cause damage. However for those who need an above average daily intake of protein, it's a more convenient and easier an cheaper source. There are load on the market that are just made of crap. So one should choose a reliable brand and should calculate how much they need for their particular lifestyle.

Absolutely. The kidneys can accommodate plenty of protein coupled with the correct nutrients and plenty of water. Nobody has yet to work out what excess is. The main word we are looking at is "supplement" as in "in addition to". I normally only have one shake per day. Two at the most but very rarely. It is not to replace meals but to give you the added protein and calories in order to repair and grow/rebuild. Most people who train and use supplements tend to have lower alcohol intake therefore no extra stress on liver and kidneys.

Now if someone were to train, take anabolics, narcotics and alcohol to another level as well as eating a high protein diet. Which part of it would be deemed excessive. All? Part? Or as you would expect too much for the liver and kidneys to process.

Ditto. Great value for money, great flavours and quality products. Too many expensive brands have additives like xanthum gum that don't need to be in there.

Same as. Usually wait until they have an offer on which ever flavour they can't shift and buy a stock of it.

Just a tip, try the unflavoured versions and add nesquik or syrups or fruits. More sugar but tastes so much better and no nasty sweeteners or additives.

Girls/ guys, same same.

If you don't intend on bulking or not training for mass strength or endurance gains and your main goal is to tone then a well balanced diet is all that's needed. No supplements needed as it's all in the food.

Supplements may be helpful for some if they are naturally lacking in certain areas.

You look amazing btw

I use Bulkpowders as my supplements need to be on the Informed for sport list. Like myprotein they constantly run promotions and money off offers.

You shouldn't need to, as you go for the longer distances, you will need to consume extra calories, foods with a natural high sugar content are usually best to fill the gap. Just extra energy to burn. Simples is best.

I use my protein, currently have the matrix all in one for the day im training and the day after it helps with recovery as it has BCAA plus creatine, for off days i have the impact whey isolate, its not the cheapest but its 95% pure protein and if your going to train then may as well do it right.
