When it comes to protein supplements, there is no substitute for
Ion-Exchange Whey protein. The positive benefits of this protein
is amazing. Besides the fact that the amino spectrum is better
than any solid food(the percentage of BCAAs is very high), it has
immune system stimulating properties, greatly aids gut health,
helps heal organ and muscle tissue better than any, and the
peptide bonds of the aminos allow easier absorption than any
other commercial type of protein. For those of you who don't
believe in protein supplements, that's your choice, and your loss.
I have seen improvements in my clients and myself.
The downside of of this protein is the price. I suggest that you
buy the stuff by mail order, as this will prove to be 30 to 50 %
less than retail.
It is impossible to say what is the best way for you to eat to
maintain cycle gains. There are just too many variables involved.
Make sure that you are still eating your 5 or 6 meals with a high
level of protein. Also make sure that you are drinking a protein
drink with some simple carbs right after your workout. Be careful
not to overtrain. When coming off a cycle, it is very easy to
magnify your catabolic state by training too hard, too long,
and/or too often.
