does anybody here agree with the use of protein drinks to gain muscle,ma** and strength.if so,could you please share with me some of the best brands to buy or which ones you are on.Thanks


pain is temporary,pride is forever!

Brand really doesn't matter.

You'll save money by mixing your own protein drinks from powdered whey protein isolate and eating lots of other high quality protein sources (lean meats, eggs, etc).

You really want to talk to a nutritionist or doctor before radically changing your diet. There's a lot of s**t going on with nutrition. You want to make sure you get the right nutrients, vitamins, and minerals, enough fiber, not too much of this or that, etc etc.

How about Powerthirst?

Whatever you do, you really need to keep careful track of the number of calories and amount of protein you are putting into your body.

First things first: If you consume more calories than your body burns, you gain weight. If you consume fewer calories than your body burns, you lose weight. End of story.

If you just add lots of protein to your diet and do weight training, you're going to put on almost as much fat as muscle. I'm sure that's not what you want.

If your goal is to build muscle mass, you're going to be going through a series of bulking phases and cutting phases. In the bulking phases, you'll be eating a boatload of calories with tons of protein to build up as much muscle as possible. Fat will come along with this, so you'll also go through cutting phases where you limit your caloric intake and work out so that your body rids itself of more fat than muscle.

Muscle tone comes from having little fat. You can't lose fat and gain muscle at the same time.

Proper nutrition is absolutely critical to body building and sculpting.
