Protein shake Options

[celi_gt_racer]

Anyone else into these ..... latino better have some answers for me lol
I mix chocolate "Ultimate Nutrition - muscle juice" w/ 18 oz of milk
55g of protein per serving - 4 servings into 18 oz
2 protein shakes a day on workout days - this sound right?
anyone have any other opinions

P.S. - i'm also loading on creatine monohydrate w/ tons of simple sugars - 15 mins before workout

Protien shakes are good, but your body will poop out what is not being used. You need to calculate your daily metabolic rate. Look it up on goolge and you will find a calculator. Then you just need to eat more calories than what your daily metabolic rate is; but it has to be good food. The healthy stuff. Lots of tuna, and skim milk do the trick nicely too. If you are craving a snack a 1/2 cup of low fat cottage cheese will do the trick. Lots of protien there. Peanut butter is a good source of protein also. What is your goal? Are you wanting to get bulk to get cut? if you want to get cut, then lay off the protein and just lift and do lotsa cardio. If you want bulk do light cardio and lift crazy. you want to challenge your muscles but doing more sets than reps, with heavier weight. Like around 70-90% of your max weight that you can do for that exercise. For bulk you want to atleast do exercises that target the different angles of that muscle Ex(incline, decline and flat bench) works upper, lower and middle of your pectoralis. Biceps have the 2 heads so you need to hit hose both...

Sorry I got on a tangent there. Protein is good from a shake, but be careful that you aren't pooping it out I suggest strawberry or vanilla. that way you know if your poop is another color. If you have any questions don't hesitate to pm me. This is what I majored in in college and what I am certified in..
