Whey protein , does it build muscle?

[descartes]

I hear all this talk about sales of optimum whey protein going through the roof . Given that protein does build muscle , who has actually experienced gains in muscle size and mass that they can directly attribute to swollowing masses of the stuff ( whey protein )?

[thelast10]

along with a good diet and a good routine it can aid in gaining muscle, but that goes for most if not all protein

[Realist]

You can get your protien naturally from meats and other sources. But whey is fast absorbing, useful for after workouts when your body is spent. All types of protien build muscle.

Yes, when combined with a good diet and training regime it will help you build muscle.

no one's gonna be able to say they gained X amount of muscle on protein for the simple fact that 99 percent of the people who take protein also take other supplements with it and I don;t think you can even imagine to gauge if you just took protein alone how much muscle you would gain because then to gain size you would be eating alot


but yes protein is essential for building muscle

[scott_donald]

no but it adds fuel for you to build muscle every other factor needs to be taken tho...

i actually can say that in 4 weeks with taking this stuff post workout (i had been eating 4 meals a day before, this took me up to 5) and i PACKED on the muscle. you can see in the photo gallery my results with ONLY 1 scoop of ON added to every post workout. Nothing else changed.
