yep and I bet they were conducted at Saskatchewan community college and funded by Met-rx or maybe Muscletech.

Do you disagree with the article I posted?

Support the sport. Buy supplements.

Support the sport. Buy supplements.

A more efficient way to support the "sport" would be to send a paypal donation directly to your favorite Pro, very little supp money gets through to the "athletes".

Supplements aren't needed, no one advocates that more than me.

But to say you shouldn't eat a decent amount of protein if you workout is stupid.

Weight training (when done properly) is far more intense than what these guys are doing. Rugby, Running etc. piece of shit.

yes and the research seems to show that 20g post workout is more than enough and 10-15g is decent.

What?...supplements are a scam?!?!...for shame!!!

LOL, is this a surprise to anyone?  For crying out loud, you don't even KNOW if the amount of protein on the label is even IN the powder!  There's NO regulation,hence, no accountability....add on some fancy marketing and you've got a cash-cow ready for a' MILKIN'!

Here's the facts:  Time and time again scientists have done research that points towards the conclusion that people do NOT need monster amounts (or even moderate amounts!) of protein.

There's NO money to be made in 'real food'...and most people WANT an easier way to get their nutrients.

Well...I haven't spent a dime on supps for over three years and I'm STILL growing, and have kept all the gains I've made over the years.  Plain food.  Training.  Sleep.  Go figure.

Do yourself an experiment:  take the amount of money you spend on supps for three months and save it in a jar.  Then, spend your hard earned money on real food, healthy and nutritious.  Train as usual and see for YOURSELF that supps don't make a difference to anything but your WALLET.

Hell, you could try a month.  You'd probably still save enough to pay your cable/internet bill.

Most people would be truly suprised to see the results they'd get from a clean, healthy diet...using the RDA values for nutrients, no doubt!

Try it...what have you got to lose?

Maintain your slightly higher caloric intake, and keep all other things the same...you won't shrink.  Try it.

Maybe because theyre scientists (Doctors) not Bodybuilders....

They either make such claims based on research or because theyre "drug free"

Where is the study showing protein powders cause more muscle growth than the same amount supplied through regular food? Give a group a protein supplement but not control food intake = of course there will be an effect since many don't eat well.

Shifted Shapes, You have got to be kidding..  No Evidence?.... How about half a million weighlifters that all swear by It?
The results speak for themselves.....  But I guess you would rather listen to "Doctor Spoonchest"

What titles have those people in your article won?

I don't mean to hate on you, but you are grossly mis-informed.

Sure... "Real Food" will be sufficient. But can a person eat that much day in & day out?
It is too time consuming & too difficult to eat that much tissue protein.

I will polish up my trophy from The Mr. Tampa Bay, and continue to slam protein shakes..
