Doing WHEY only pre-post workout????

[The Shadow]

..you might want to consider altering that.

A new study just confirmed that a casein/whey shake POST workout contributed to more LBM gains than whey PLUS bcaas.


New recommendation:

10-15 grams EACH of whey AND casein one hour prework out and immediately post workout.

Why? What was the reasoning?

This is what I am thinking - although I may be wrong.
The combo - whey "gets in" muscles quick immediately post-WO, then the slower casein gets absorbed slower while the muscle is rebuilding and the metabolism is still raised post-WO.

I hope that sounded somewhat intelligible. I am a little scattered right now.

Can you post the study

Read the same thing last week. Said protein powder use casein or a casein/whey blend 15g of protein with 25-30g carb 30 -60 min. pre-work-out.
Actually that was from a 2003 published book

He states (Some of this is paraphrased)
"casein has recently been shown to be anti-catabolic compared to whey protein, which means it will be more useful in helping to prevent any muscle loss during the diet days." He also suggests using a low-fat cheese on top of other proteins is an excellent way to get cassein protein withour resorting to liquids, and that it tastes better. Liquid proteins don't tend to control hunger very well which is why I don't recommend them on the diet days."

Thanks for that T

Actually in reference to T's post (liquid protein, doesn't control hunger), Casein is a pretty thick protein, and you do feel full longer than with whey, well from my personal expience anyway. I can not do just whey as a meal when dieting but half whey half casein no problem.

ugh... I'd puke if I did a workout after drinking some whey..
and I get up at 4:45 as it is... don't see my self getting up at 3:45 before my workout

...this is a very recent study cited in a muscle rag.

Confused & Stubborn??? Who???
Me...
I want to understand if it would be better to use WHEY, than egg whites for protein intake-even though they are completly different things-
I say stubborn ^^ because I prefer to eat food as natural as possible...
I began with met-rx adn myoplex shakes ufffff 7 years ago, and I am knd of full of those...
i ate my earthly ration...LOL...

Real food is almost ALWAYS better than engineered food (protein powders).

Times I think there is a benefit to engineered foods ..... 1) Post-WO for quickness of absorption, 2) if the alternative is NO MEAL at all, and 3) to help boost protein intake without adding a lot of calories from carbs and fat.
