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.
