Because the acids in your stomach don't break down shit at all.

It's similar to some people claiming that heat denatures proteins. Newsflash! So does your stomach!

this is what I meant. So broscience?

Water can only pull apart ionic bonds (basically salts). If you had some protein complex mixed with some salt, it'd pull the two apart, but the two would still be present in your mix, and you'd still get them in their original form.

Proteins are both polar and non-polar based on their structure, so if you put them in water (which is polar) and water surrounds the polar proteins and puts them into the mix, the non-polar proteins are there as a solid/settle to the bottom of the container. There's no way for the protein to be denatured (damaged) in water .. maybe if you mixed it with orange juice or some acidic fluid, or maybe if you put it in a hot area (hot summer day in a car) it would denature, but the essential amino acids would still be there ... otherwise, mixed with water in a fridge would actually make the proteins pretty stable.

cole notes: protein in water, good.



heat and acid do denature proteins .. but what your body needs is the amino acids. The proteins shape is changed, but the fundamental parts that it's made of are still there, and that's what your body needs to make muscle.

Strong science.^

God damn whenever I workout before 5pm my body only runs at like 65%

That's what I was saying (albeit poorly).

solid back workout :)

still lookin for good shoes to workout in, couldnt find free 7.0 anywhere in the states

Working construction so I am constantly moving and lifting heavy stuff. Really hard to move a huge 2x10 while legs are sore, or back etc

will multi and omega 3 help that much in recovery?

^ lol no you need that + a very good post workout shake

What he said ^^.

It's tough being a construction worker and going to the gym, I've seen a few that are huge and i always think that's gotta be some real dedication.

You need to eat big after workouts and I found supplementing creatine into my diet got rid of a lot of the soreness that'd last days after the workout. Not to mention sleep plays a huge role on how sore you'll be. If I was you I would just eat big post workout (with a protein shake right after working out), take creatine/multivitamin/omega 3 pills, drink shitloads of water and eat frequently all while getting good sleep. Preworkouts screw with your sleep patterns so be careful with those (or smoke a joint or something after you workout lol).

Have any of you guys bought whey from costco in the states? I'm heading down this weekend, and thinking of picking some up if its cheap

Sleep is Huge , and food is way better then any supp out there , if there is something that people don't listen from me it's food and sleep , yeah supps have there role

try taking some bcaa, zma and a little extra glutamine maybe that would help with the recovery??

Never noticed a difference with Glutamine.

Btw, I have mine for sale.

sleep, eat, stretch.. best way to recover over any supplement

+1, Glutamine is meh. BCAA's seem to be effective, though.

Yeah bcaas do help
