Ross and other "experts"

[Porportional]

what are your thoughts on the importance of a post work out shake, the importance of feeding the muscle while it is in its catabolic state, and the benefits of the 5x5 routine over isolation exercises. Which is the overall better one, to stay with year round, best results? Just some debates that were going on in the weight lifting forum

O my hell dude, let it go. DJeclipse was just putting you on one. It's all good. A PWO shake is beneficial to training and diet. Everyone knows that. Don't bring the argument of you and DJ here.

(See diet and nutrition thread)

Just keep doing your PWO shakes, they are better than not taking one. But, like argued, one can make awesome gains without one anyway. There's nothing to discuss further about it.

dude its called debating, and finding real answers, and im sure ross or montana can provide some good insightful information... reason i brought these questions here is because of the lack of traffic to that side of the forum.. not trying to call anyone out, just trying to learn for myself too, and hopefully for others to learn something new

Oh, I know you're not calling anyone out. I didn't mean to come out as getting on your case here either.

In regards to the post workout shake. Just take one. Might as well. Extra protein is beneficial. End of story.

I'm not very familiar with the 5x5 so I can't comment on that. I know of it, but never studied it or applied it because i make dang good gains doing my own routines. I know how to listen to my body and make it grow. Maybe when I plateau I'll try it someday.

Great question my friend, I am glad you are seeking further clarification. As a bodybuilder, LEARNING is just as important as EATING.

FOOD is the substrate for MUSCLES and INFORMATION is the substrate for LEARNING. Just like consuming the wrong FOOD is counterproductive and detrimental to one's progress, so too is consuming the WRONG INFORMATION! Therefore, it is absolutely imperative that you double check your sources, especially on the good ol' NET.

As for your question:

The single most important tasks after your workout are:

• Replenish Glyogen
• Increase Protein Synthesis
• Reduce Cortisol Response

A PWO shake is the single most effective method for accomplishing all of those tasks at once. Furthermore, a drink will be absorbed much faster, demonstrating superior biological value over whole food.

If you have any other questions, don't hesitate--KNOWLEDGE IS POWER!

I've always thought the 5x5 routine was a bit overrated. It might be good for a beginner but I think they're are better routines for an intermediate or advanced lifter.

It also depends on goals.

How do you increase protein synthesis Ross?

Also if you could elaborate on how you reduce the cortisol response, that would be great.
