Justin Harris12 said:Whey isn't just liquid whey... it's derived from it, sure, but they aren't the same thing. You can buy actual whey separately. Some people drink plain whey thinking it hits like whey protein powder, which is why I said it doesn't matter. It's like people grabbing a handful of raisins before a workout because someone told them to—that's not the same as eating pure glucose. If we're talking proteins, we need to distinguish between liquid whey and whey protein isolate. There are folks out in rural America who wonder why they’d bother buying supplements when they've got plenty of milk products at home.
so just read this
check this out too
basically, you have whey protein vs. actual liquid whey...
I don't know who's crazy here, but whey is just protein powder. People can say whatever they want while thinking something else... not my problem. Forum debates are mostly nonsense anyway, myself included 😁
slydriver52 said:We’re talking about Whey protein here, not a literal translation of the word.......... One guy claims you need to drink Whey after a workout 😲, while the other is just explaining what Whey actually is. It's a play on words. Google Translate isn't exactly the gold standard for this kind of thing.🙂
The guy is just trying to say that Whey means Whey—as in, the protein from the milk. He didn't mean drinking straight liquid; he meant the proteins extracted from it. A lot of you keep saying you drink whey when you really mean you're consuming the proteins within it...
Google Translate works fine if you aren't trying to write an essay.
Justin Harris12 said:Look, you clearly don't get it. If you think a tub with more isolate than concentrate is going to build more muscle than one with mostly concentrate, you have no clue how supplements actually work. Just grab the cheapest protein available. It barely matters if it's isolate or concentrate... concentrate just has a bit more lactose, that's it. Gold Standard Whey from Optimum Nutrition tastes better and mixes easier, sure. And the Microsoft stuff has more concentrate than isolate, but the label literally states the ratio, so unless you're looking at the tub right now, don't spread misinformation. I've been doing this too long to deal with nonsense like this.
There's some truth there, but don't just buy the absolute cheapest junk on the shelf. Stick to a reputable brand...

curious if they're similar quality. might be a good way to combine things that actually work 😂
There aren't any posts here. Only the Omega Jiu Jitsu club over on Fourth Street puts anything up once or twice a year. Everywhere else, you can just show up without an issue... Pitbull’s a solid gym. Don't make the same mistake you did with Holy Spirit... they only do Muay Thai.
You’ve got Pitbull over in Utrecht. They have MMA, Muay Thai, and other stuff there, maybe around 250-300 people. For $67, it's just Holy Spirit. I bet there's Wing Chun at a school in Rapska somewhere
Nathan Kelly5 said:I’m looking for some training sessions in downtown Chicago, ideally priced under $150 per month. $67 I don't care much about fancy gyms or high-end equipment; I just want a solid atmosphere—productive, but without all the excessive hype. I have experience in Muay Thai, though I’m not in peak condition right now, and I’m open to trying something new like Wing Chun or Krav Maga. If anyone has recommendations, I’d appreciate it.
Over by that old church in downtown Chicago... Thai boxing at Holy Spirit... $67
Lisa Bailey41 said:Hey, I'm 17 and thinking about picking up a martial art. Since I'm torn between hitting the gym or starting combat sports, I wanted to see what you guys recommend. I’m looking for something where I can learn basic self-defense while also dropping some weight and getting toned... maybe something that incorporates gym work too? I don't have any prior experience with wrestling or striking. Just looking for some initial suggestions first, then we can get into the details if needed. Also, ideally somewhere near the Upper West Side...
Not sure about the Upper West Side... maybe there's a "cool" karate club around there, but if you head over toward Midtown, you've got plenty of options.
how long do you think it'll take to "learn" how to throw a punch? you think training in a controlled environment like a boxing gym is the same as being out on the street? when the adrenaline hits, there aren't any rules or anyone to step in and stop it. what then, when some kids won't back down on the subway?... 😁
