Whey Protein - Opinion

[BodyAMSA]

Hello everyone

I'm new in this world of Bodybuilding.
I started on last Sunday lifting some weights 'til yesterday (today is my day off!), working the arms, shoulders, backs and chest (ABS every day).

Well, because I searched about this issue, I ordered this Whey Protein "Optimum NUT 100% Whey GOLD (941g)" to have it JUST after the training (1 scoop of ~30g). What do you think of this idea ? Is it ok or I shouldn't drink for now because I never trained in the past ?

My stats: 5.83" and 154.3 lbs... BF% dunno.

Drink the whey!! Very important, doesn't matter if you have not trained in the past. DRINK IT. Good Luck.

Look into a good multi vitamin and some fish oils along with your whey. Also you will want some carbs with your whey. I like grinding up oats and putting them in with it, but something like gatorade or dextrose would work as well.

absolutely you should drink it after every workout.

Thanks for your posts guys!

Another question, is 1 scoop of Whey enough (after every workout) for me ?

[maxiderm]

depends on your diet. but i would say NO...

i usually dont get enough protein during the day so i have 2 scoops in a shake in the morning and 2 scoops in a shake after my workout. i take that with 10g of creatine monohydrate (5g on days i dont workout) and a multivitamin, and i have put on a good 10 pounds in the last month. good luck man.

yes, it is a good idea to drink it immediately post work-out (within 20 min of your last set if possible)--as whey is absorbed quickly by th GI tract--and is good for recovery after a hard work out if you drink it immediately post work out. at other times of the day, it is good to drink a longer acting protien--which helps prevent protien catabolism (burning muscle). good choices are casein, caseinate and milk protien (casein is milk protien minus the whey protien, but cow milk protien is about 80% casein--so it is primarily a long acting protien--that is, it is absorbed from the GI tract much slower than a fast protien like whey).

for building muscle, you will need to eat enough protien. for weight training, the recommended daily protien intake is 0.8gram (or about a gram) per pound of body weight (base on the information printed on my bag of whey from costco). some people will say you need more than that. i would consider 0.8gm per day the minimum you'd want to be consuming (from food + protien supplement).

drink one scoop in h20 about 20 minutes prior to working out and 2 scoops along with some carbs immediately after.

Yes, Plus a fishoil . People go overboard sometimes. I like to stick to the basics

[BodyAMSA]

Ok :)

Fishoil ?? Isn't that too much fat ?
About the peanut butter, it has fats right ? I've seen some diets who has peanut butter sandwich :o

Everyone's pointing you in the fright direction and congrats on not being fooled by deceptive advertising when buying your first protien,best protien for the buck...

Well, i've bought already the Whey protein and have been drinking it since Saturday.

It's the ON 100% Whey GOLD Vanilla, is anything wrong with it ? I think it's nice.. and i've gained some mass since then, at least i feel it in my arms.
