Thanks. I just read the other day that mixing the two powders causes slower digestion of the whey...and then this idea just hit me today...thought I'd ask.

Thanks again.

If a mixture of casein and whey proteins causes the casein to slow the digestion of the whey and milk is made up of 80% casein protein, would mixing whey powder with milk slow the digestion of the...

What do you think of the 5x5 so far? I haven't read through the whole thread, but my lifts are pretty close to where yours were when you started. I'm starting the 5x5 week after next when I get...

Today went fairly well considering I'm gonna have to abbreviate my workouts for a while. I keep getting this pain in my left hip/lower back whenever I try to stand up. For now sldl, dl, and...

I may just have to add cardio back into my routine and start doing 30-40 minutes of cardio 4 or 5 times/week again. I was doing a lot of cardio when I first started...maybe the lack of cardio is...

Food 16 May

Sorry, should have been more clear. I started working out in Oct and was not counting then. Around the end of Jan, beginning of Feb I started tracking everything and bought a food scale.

March...

When I first started working out in Oct I was lifting and doing cardio on an empty stomach most days.

Since Feb/March I've made sure to eat something before I go to the gym. For the past month or...

I've been counting calories.

I'm already getting 1g protein per pound of bodyweight. The only way for me to change that % would be to drop calories...and going lower than 1,800 would be almost...

walking on a treadmill at about 3.5 mph or stationary bike on a random hill program at level 8 (out of 20)

my answers are in bold.

I'm at the point now that I'm starting to get irritated.

Started working out in Oct 2008 and by late Jan/early Feb had dropped to a low of about 172. Since then I've gone back up to a high of...

I have tried doing just about everything I can think of. I've taken time off from the gym, cut back cardio, eaten more of what I would consider bulking calories, changed my workout routine...

I...

To a certain degree, it does. I started working out in Oct 2008 and really only tried to eat better...I didn't weigh my food or track my calories or worry about pre/post wo nutrition, etc.

In...

I know that weighing after my prewo meal is not ideal, but until recently that was the only scale I had. And it would get me close because I use the same scale, at the same times, on the same days,...

I just recently bought a scale for my home. It's one of the older styles that has the dial that rolls once you stand on it...ie, it's not digital.

Anyway, I use this one at home right after I get...

Today wasn't any good. I finally got to bed at a decent hour last night and then my 2-year old decided he didn't want to sleep. My wife and I were up and down with him all night. Needless to say,...

Worked through this workout in about 40 minutes this morning and weighed in at 174.
