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

ive always heard more reps over the weight

i thought if you cant rep it then you arent gaining anything by doing it

i was taught that you need to find a median between weight and reps to maximize your workout

for example reping 100 lbs 25 times or lifting 225 once... neither is really beneficial because repping 100 is too easy and lifting 225 is too hard so you only do it once so you dont get any affect from it... so you find a weight inbetween like 150 or 175 and lift is lets say 12 times. wouldnt that be better for you

i might be wrong. some really built guy at the cga taught me this last summer. so if im wrong tell me

well u dont wanna max out every time u lift...thats just stupid, but u cant do 30 reps of 150 when u can just do 5 reps of 200 or something, unless u want toned muscle rather than bulk.
