Why don't a lot of Pro's take protein shakes?

[Trickie]

Time and time again I have read that Pro's like Shawn Ray, Tom Prince and Ronnie Coleman don't believe in them.....this is so strange, hell Coleman has reportedly NEVER had a post workout shake in his life! Can anybody enlighten me on why this is?

sorry to inform you but that is not true. If you watch Ronnie's video it shows him making a shake and drinking it.

Can't be true. No one gets 300-500 grams of the good stuff ED through diet alone. Gotta have shakes, even if they do upset the stomach, GI tract, and gag reflexes...

There's nothing not to trust in shakes. They are simply proteins, it's not a magical formula.

Wrong. They're also a MAJOR outlet for supplement companies to rip you off and sell you a shitty product. Too many protein powders out there for them all to be good. My $0.02.

They also put anti-erection drugs in many popular brands.

Damn!

O.K. that explains a few things!

Are you sure they put it in the powder and not my wife?

Is it a joke ?

The Real reason pros dont use alot of shakes is because they are not as effective and useful as real food. Think if your sole job was to eat and train all day, sleep, maybe send some emails, etc, you would be able to cook and eat good.

Why do you use shakes? Lets see because you work, your busy and cooking all the time, or going to the store, or carryign a cooler isnt your thing.

If I was bulking and could cook all the time, you would damn sure see me BBQing every day, cooking steaks, chicken etc, making nice whole quality meals.

Whey protein is great, but digest too quickly.
