The past 2 times I took jack3d, which has helped my lifts quite a bit, I couldn't sleep till it was past 4AM, I'd be lucky if I was asleep by 3AM. I suppose it might not be worth it if I'm losing that much sleep.

same here, i'd rather sleep more and lift lesss

When I was on 1MR I always looked forward to Saturdays for early afternoon workouts when I could take a full scoop without affectimg my sleep and go beastmode.

That would be ideal, unfortunately due to my class schedule I can only dream of an afternoon workout. I always end up working out around 6-7PM. Then falling asleep around 3-4AM, and waking up at 7:30. Great workout though, except I don't get enough rest to heal or even remotely pay attention in class.:banghead:

Leg day today, but my legs are still sore. :fuuuuu:

Anyone know how long after a workout you have to take your protein shake for it to be useful?

I work out at school so it takes about 1 hour before I get home and take protein.
Is that too long? Or it doesn't matter?

Thanx

It's recommended to take it within 30 mins. Bring the protein with u. Just throw a scoop in a bottle and fill it up at the end of your workout.

Thanks, I like to take mine with milf so can't really keep the milk cold all day

I never realized how awesome 5x5 routine is. Adding 5lbs everyday to the exercises feels good.

You gotta find a milf with refridgerated boobies then.

Take it with cold water after work out it's not a martini u don't sip it just slam it, I have my pwo 5 min after workout have for years then a high carb dinner with lots of meat 45 min later

i used to have problems downing protein shakes as well when i mixed it with water, and ending up dumping half of it down the drain, but i found that if you plug ur nose while ur drinking it, and just chug it fast, it goes down a lot easier, iuno thats just how i do it

haha pounding down protein is like pounding down a beer for me.

Awww yeah.

YEAH BUDDY!

I hate cutting.

Loosing so much strength but damn I look goooooood :troll:

out of all the protein shakes ive had in the passed 2 years i might have had 2 with milk?

is it ok to mix glutamine into the protein shake? or take it seperate?

^ yes, it all ends up in the same place anyways. Plus most whey protein powders have some amount of Glutamine already as it's an amino acid.

fuuuu just hammered Tri's, arms feel weak as hell right now lol

nice having a Sauna at home to hit up after a good workout :D

You just gotta slam it down and eventually you get used to just downing it.
I feel that 500mL of anything these days are like nothing as compared to a couple years back i would think holy shit that's half a litre!

been there

solution for me was to not take it at all.

kinda sucks because I usually feel tired after work and it affects my workout

Anyone here do hand walkouts? They are brutal on your core and shoulders


I can now do them from my toes, about 5 or 6 reps at a time.

Try them!

try something not as strong... like amino energy from ON

decent day today

nothing hotter than seeing a hot blonde deadlifting 135lbs with perfect form :D

Agreed, increased on my squats, bench, and rows today. Feeling good, unfortunately the weights I do aren't even 1/4 of what the rest of you do! :whine:

BTW. You guys think the odd ball who does his curls in the squat rack is annoying... I was waiting for a good 10-15 minutes for a guy who laid a mat down in the squat rack and did abs.
