You can't grow unless you take Protein shake after workout!

[djeclipse]

Hi all, it's been a while, well over a year. For those that know me, I tore my achilies tendon playing soccer and went downhill from there. I just started to get off my lazy ass and get back to the gym.

Anyway, I went to Hercks a local suplement store and the guy told me that you can NOT gain any muscle unless you have a protien shake (isolate) right after you work out. Even if you go home and eat lots of protein, you will not grow or gain muscle unless you have a protein shake. And there was no point of working out since your muscles will not be able to repair themselves so your work out is pointless if you don't have the shake.

When he said this I literally started laughing at him and asked him if he was serious.

I asked what did people do before the invent of these magical protein shakes?

He said "I'm a body builder, I know what I am talking about, if you don't have a protein shake right after working out you won't get bigger.

This guy really believed this nonsense, it was quite comical, I simply told him he was full of shit and left.

Anyway, it feels good to be back, I'm on week 7 of a 5 x 5 and though I'm far away form where I left off before I got hurt, I am on my way.

Cheers.

When he started talking all that BS I immediately thought of EF and the good old stories of morons like this on here.

Hopefully this time I can stay injury free and make some real gains.

Unfortunately I think I came back too early after tearing my Achilies. I started playing soccer and now the area just below my knee hurts when ever I do any kind of squat motion, even going down stairs. So for now I can't do Squats which really sucks.

I ripped my Achilies when I was 12-13 years old. It still gives me some problems to this day. Some times my foot locks up. It always happens if I try to swim.

That sucks. I still have some pain when I do certain movements while playing Soccer, but it's much better then it was. Doesn't lock up though.. crossing fingers.

Well mine was ripped off. The short of it. A 280lb plat fell on the back of my heal
and ripped it almost clean off. I was told I need to have it re cut and a nerve moved or some shit. Or it will keep locking up for the rest of my life. I just say fuck it and leave it the way it is.
