Do you drink a protein shake in the middle of your workout session?

[Myka]

nope...just water...

[Giantz11]

Before and after not during.

[WelshWarrior]

I don't like puking, so after.

BCAA intake affects protein metabolism in muscle after but not during exercise in humans.

Blomstrand E, Saltin B.

Branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) or a placebo was given to seven subjects during 1 h of ergometer cycle exercise and a 2-h recovery period. Intake of BCAA did not influence the rate of exchange of the aromatic amino acids, tyrosine and phenylalanine, in the legs during exercise or the increase in their concentration in muscle. The increase was approximately 30% in both conditions. On the other hand, in the recovery period after exercise, a faster decrease in the muscle concentration of aromatic amino acids was found in the BCAA experiment (46% compared with 25% in the placebo condition). There was also a tendency to a smaller release (an average of 32%) of these amino acids from the legs during the 2-h recovery. The results suggest that BCAA have a protein-sparing effect during the recovery after exercise, either that protein synthesis has been stimulated and/or protein degradation has decreased, but the data during exercise are too variable to make any conclusions about the effects during exercise. The effect in the recovery period does not seem to be mediated by insulin.

i drink mine right after.... while.... water is was up

[BigJames]

Yup.

[Hackamaniac]

no water or diet soda only for myself

[SVTMuscle*]

no, after only.
water with glutamine is a good idea though

[littlemantc]

i take it 2 times a day

[Giantz11]

Why?? Non-essential Amino Acids are not needed for Protein Synthesis.

[usamm]

Thanks.

[stayinstacked]

nope,absolutely pointless during a workout

[taiboxa]

i shoot mine up IV style! infact i walk around w/ a WHEY IV DRIP as i LIFT!

[spittin' 'n cussin']

beer for me, just a sixer

[SVTMuscle*]

beer for me, just a sixer

yeah i like to funnel 1 or 2 between my squat sets

[MarkyMark]

I just do an I.V. drip while training ..

how original.

how original.

eh?

[xtinaunasty]

nope...strictly pepsi

you dont want to drink a protien shake after your work out because it pulls the blood out of your muscle to your stomach to digest it! Go with a predigested product from myo-trend they have a product called nitric e8 its pre digested aminos and it keeps the nitogen levels high. then after you loose your pump COMPLETLEY then have that high protien meal.

whey protein is the quickest digested protein available, and when combined with dextrose, the sugar shuttles the protein to your muscles to help repair and build new muscle! (the hunter gatherer definition)
i ask you to prove what you just said with facts...

Yeah, where did you get that crazy idea. Are you a sales rep for myo-trend?

come on Meathead...let's hear why you recommend this Bullshit...

[chest6]

nope...pretty much pointless

[stocky121]

hell no

After only..........3rd experiment..........1st was dext/whey (great recovery, stronger each time in the gym, even if it was 2.5lbs, hated the "rush" feeling, uneasy........2nd was oats/whey (avg. results, hated the bloated feeling, like the feeling of being full for longer period of time, strenth somewhat increased....), 3rd is whey and rice cakes....4th with be nothing but a meal within an hour post......I was amazed how many big ass strong dudes in my gym havent purchased protein powder in years......I am really beg. to think it's not necessary.
