The rest of the time I'm eating healthy, lots of fruit, vegetables, whole grains, lean meat, nuts, yogurt, cottage cheese, etc. Works good for me.

Except whey is a fast digesting protein which is what you want pwo to take advantage of that anabolic window and the bodies increased sensitivity to insulin.0 -

and so is fish. I have personally never really been too afraid of an anabolic window and I have seen gains outside of it. As a matter of fact I usually don't get in any protein untill about 3 hours after my workouts and I am still getting the muscle gains I was after. I use to be terrified of not getting in a protein shake of some sort right after my workout but when I stopped I didn't notice a change at all and was still getting gains in the gym.

I don't use any thermos. There isn't a single thermo in my stack..
The agmatine and Cit Mal are the key ingredients in Hemovol. They promote vascularity/increased pumps. You buy them in bulk and save alot of $ by not having to buy Hemovol and get even better benefits because you can jack up dosage depending on your needs.
The DAA (D-Aspartic Acid) I also get in bulk has been proven to raise T levels by quite alot, stacked with Erase, keeps estrogen and estrogen related sides at bey. I cycle the DAA/Erase and this will be my 2nd cycle. Had amazing results with bloodwork showing a 75% increase in free testosterone after my last cycle.0 -
- Multi.
- Magnesium for nerve pain.
- Calcium chews -- because they're like candy
- B complex -- an experiment to see if they gave me more energy. They don't seem to. I'll probably be dropping them.
- C -- recommended by my dermatologist for collagen production to help skin recover during weight loss. It's cheap and can't hurt.
- Probiotics.
- Garlic for high blood pressure -- seems to help.
- Omega 3 when I remember to buy it.0 -

Meal timing is irrelevant..I'm just referring to what is OPTIMUM...tons of studies have been done citing the benefits of whey post workout due to its increased absorption rate.
Here's one for example
http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/berardi4.htm
"The faster the protein and carbohydrates get to the muscle, the better your chances for muscle building and recovery. Current research has demonstrated that subjects receiving nutrients within one hour after exercise recover more quickly than subjects receiving nutrients three hours after exercise. Liquid nutrition is making more sense, isn't it?"

Not to mention there's so much you can do with a pwo shake
My shake for example:
2 scoops muscle tech whey
2 tbsp all natural PB
2 cups 1% milk
1 1/2 cups rolled oats
Comes out to around 1120 cals, 137g carbs, 32g fat, 82g pro0 -

Dexaprine XR is something I tried at the end of my cut..it gave me AMAZING concentration and focus. Dosage is only 1 capsule but it's recommended to take 1/2 a cap due to its potency and let me tell you IT IS POTENT. It's actually banned in some countries.0 -

See thats the thing for every article there is usually an article to dispute it. I am not saying whey protein is unnecessary, I take it too and yes it has a nearly 100% absorption rate, what I am saying is for that person's particular diet he can offset the need for it cause his diet is really good. Article below
http://www.protraineronline.com/nutrition/protein-supplements-vs-protein-foods/
snippet:
Most bodybuilders and strength athletes already consume more than enough protein, so the importance of BV to these athletes who are already consuming enough protein has been overplayed. Even though whey has a higher BV than chicken breast, fish, or milk protein, if the total quantity of protein you consume is sufficient, then it is not likely that substituting whey for food proteins will result in any additional muscle.0 -
oh and we are in agreement there whey is freaking delicious and highly versatile0

You're right I'm just viewing it from a nutrient timing perspective (If you believe in it)..but you should avoid drinking your calories when you can. Did you see the amazon link I posted? Pretty cool huh? Poor people like me have to save that$0 -

Definitely a valid point. I'm on a 20% deficit though right now to drop some weight so I find the protein powder is helpful to keep the protein intake up without a lot of extra calories as well as convenience. Once I get back up to maintenance I think I probably will eliminate the powder from my diet and just stick to whole foods.0
