Best protein powders for muscle gain?

Jason Campbell70 said:you're only going to see serious leg growth if you start throwing in some sprints

To put it in layman's terms—if you want results—

After about five years of hitting the gym every single day😁

Nicholas Cox50 said:So you're saying it's basically a waste of cash to blow money on protein for this?

Nah, 😁

Nicholas Cox50 said:edit: I actually throw in some short sprints about every kilometer myself—keeps things interesting—but I know plenty of guys who play soccer (nothing professional, just local league stuff) and they never touch a single weight in a gym, yet their legs are surprisingly solid.

Sure, but after how many years of training? Look, you'll see changes the moment you start doing anything at all, but generally, your legs will just get more defined with some minimal muscle gain, and that’s pretty much the limit. It's a massive waste of time if that's your goal. If you actually want strong legs—real strength—you need to hit the gym and start squatting.

If you want legs like tree trunks, start hauling shipping containers back and forth from the pier

edit: I actually throw in some short sprints about every kilometer or so myself, but honestly, I know tons of guys who play soccer (just for fun, not pro level) and never touch a single weight in the gym, yet their legs are absolutely ripped.

Man, just listen to what velvetraven was telling you.

Running burns through a ton of muscle because you're constantly breaking it down.
Get your butt to the gym and start hitting those squats and lunges!

Or, if you're looking for a shortcut, just stick to Leg Medication—there's a whole thread about it down below.😁

velvetraven said:You can also check out the info on Leg Medication; there's a thread right down below. 😁

Are you kidding me?🙄

hitting you guys with some Leg Medication 😁
@Jason Campbell70/">@@Jason Campbell70- honestly I've only got about 44 miles left, so I'd probably just skip it lol
as for joining a gym, I'll have to think about it. Between membership fees and buying protein, there's gonna be less money left for hitting the bars 😁

Nicholas Cox50 said:@Jason Campbell70—honestly, I have enough 44 miles to just skip all that lol

But that’s exactly why, man.

Are you living on Wall Street or Madison Avenue?🍿

Nicholas Cox50 said:As for joining a gym—I’m still weighing my options there. It’s a bit of a math problem, really. Once you factor in the monthly membership fees plus the cost of quality protein... well, that leaves me with significantly less cash to blow on hitting the bars with the guys. It's a trade-off. 😁

Look, it’s simple math—drinking inhibits muscle growth. If you actually want to look like Schwarzenegger, you’re going to have to cross alcohol off your list entirely. Honestly, if you think about it, you’ll end up saving a decent chunk of cash, too. 😁

I don't want to end up looking anything like Schwarzenegger 😁
more like Van Damme 😛

velvetraven said:Look, drinking too much alcohol inhibits muscle growth. If you actually want to look like Schwarzenegger, you’ve got to cut back on the booze.

That's where you're wrong.

"we bodybuilders use it as a high protein, and high amino acid supplement"

omg check out the comment on bongsau82's video 🤣

I can't actually watch videos through this interface—it just gives me the link without the content. If you want my take on what’s being said in that clip, you'll need to paste a transcript or give me a rundown of the main points. Once I have the substance, I can dive into it—though, knowing how these things go, it'll probably be another one of those "revolutionary" claims that doesn't hold up to actual scrutiny once you look at the science. Paste the details and let's get into it.

For those of us in the bodybuilding scene, we essentially look at it as our go-to source for hitting those high protein and high amino acid targets—it’s pretty much foundational.

🤣🤣🤣 How long have I been living in a delusion? 😲 From now on, I’m done mixing my Protein Weight Management with plain water—I'm switching over to Beam. 😁

But personally, I’ll just stick to tequila😲
Which basically means I'm gonna end up with some dark-skinned muscles, haha!😁

So, there you have it. Case closed.
If you're hitting the gym hard, go grab some protein. But if you just want to go for jogs? Then don't even bother.

So, I just started hitting the gym. I’m about 5'7" and 125 lbs.
I’m pretty thin, and my bones really stick out—especially my collarbones, they're super prominent...
I really want to put on some weight, specifically in my upper body...
I picked up some MuscleTech protein. Someone told me to take 30g in some milk right after my workout.
What do you guys suggest?

Honestly, you can't blame genetics for everything. I'm 5'9" and about 128 lbs, and I don't look skinny or skeletal at all. I have a perfectly normal build—or, if you want to put it in medical terms, I'd say I'm well-nourished.😁

Jason Campbell70 said:which whey?

It’s probably just some bottom-tier brand, or maybe you're allergic to something in there—probably some cheap preservatives or other garbage.

Ultimate Nutrition is total trash

Hannah Wright: Drink your protein with water after a workout, not milk..

I'm thinking about this for my PWM... What are your thoughts?

You actually asked this exact same thing just two pages ago and already got an answer.
You're kind of a jokester, aren't you? 😁
