Is the website I use. I don't mind spending some good money on it if it's actually going to work. I recently bought some "cheap" protien powder from that site and me and my friend both used it and it seemed to have little to no effect.

If you can reccomend some that you guys actually know works. That would be great.
Thanks alot.

Well, just about anyone on here will tell you that creatine will work, along with a good protien powder, flax oil, fish oil plenty of water and plenty of sleep. Oh yeah and lets not forget a good multi-vitamin as well

As for protien powder i personally like the dynamitze elite series... but thats just a personal preference.

What you really need to understand, is exactly what whey protein powder "is".

Plain and simple, it's nothing more than food. As bodybuilders and weekend warriors we drink whey protein as a means of quickly absorbed protein. Liquid foods like protein shakes can be assimilated into the blood stream in as fast as 20 minutes. Where as eating a piece of steak may take more than an hour. Also ingesting fat with protein or eating Proteins that have a heavier molecular weight / size will slow the process even further.

Whey protein is micronized. It is a small particle that can easily be broken down and passed through the wall of the intestine, and involves little to know digestion time in stomach bile.

What can you expect to "happen" from whey protein? Really not much. It's just food

There is an optimal time during exercise and up to an hour after intense exercise where protein synthesis and nutrient partioning is ideal for building muscle. That is when you want to pound down the whey protein

Any effect it has is something that builds up through time with proper diet and training.

Well put, the protien should be takedn A.S.A.P after the workout, so ur tired and hurting muscles can suck up all that nutrient goodness and use the protien to help rebuild the muscle fiber, one other note, if your not taking an suppliment for BCAA's, i suggest you make sure the whey protien you buy if enriched with them, otherwise i recommend xtend, i heard about it on this forum, went out and bought it, and i love it.

What he is telling you is that you are not going to feel "effects" from drinking whey protein. Your initial posts sounds like you were in expectation of feeling different or blowing up size in a short period of time by taking whey.
