you really need to start reading about diet bro, protien is the building block of muscle. without you can not grow. period. protien shakes help you get in your daily need of protien ( 1gm-1.5gm per pound of bodywieght. you said you were about 150lbs, so 150gms-200gms ) theres why to much to get into in just one post, so use our search button and search for diet or use the net, "bodybuilding diets" or weightlifters diets something alng those lines.

theres plenty of internet companies that offer protien shakes( like our buddies at the top of the screen, Synthetek INDUSTRIES), dont go to GNC its a rip off

protein shakes dont help. A good diet helps. protein shakes help you diet.

If you wanne gain you have to eat more calories then you burn. Id say 30 to 40% of total calories should be protein. 40-50% carbs and 20% fat.

Best stuff I ever tasted was Biotest low carb grow. Its like a DQ shake.. mix it with glutamine peptides, Lecithin powder and flax oil.. w/ skim. very good.

protein shakes mostly provide concenience when you cannot get in a whole food meal. I use protein shakes right after my workout for fast absorpion of nutrients and early in the morning before or after cardio workouts. Your best bet is to buy some whey protein from a known company such as Optimum Nutrition, EAS, AST etc.

protein does work my man. protein and diet are the two most important thing in building muscle. You eat a lot of protein and carbs and then you drink a shit load of protein drinks. whey proetin is abosrbed the fastest so thats a must buy you can go to Gnc its not the best so try to find a small supplement store near you for better deals. Pro Complex or Nitro tech are great but alittle expensive just find somethingwith 50 grms or protein per serving and take up to 300-4000 grms a day you'll grow crazy i gained 50 pounds of muscle in 6 months just off of diet and protein so i know. good luck brother

did you reaaly gain 50lb in 6mnths with protein and diet alone?????????? i live by nutrition for curing all, but thats a stretch?????? but i agree with your reccommendations.

bro whey protein is whey protein. just get at lest 20-60g post workout (within 15min) along with simple carbs at this time too.

as for % of carbs and fats etc that depends on your bodytype and genes. 40-50% carbs is max for most peolpe who dont wanna go lee preist off season fat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*/

Oh no! whey is not whey! There are countless grades of whey. Saying whey is whey is like saying jewels are jewels, even if some are diamonds and others are zirconias.

HI,
You eat a lot of protein and carbs, and then you drink protein drinks. whey protein is absorbed the fastest so thats a must buy you can go to store its not the best so try to find a small supplement store, near you for better deals.
