You should not speak on a topic of which you have no intimate knowledge. How many pros do you know personally? Let me answer that, not a fucking one.
Guess what, I do, and I know for a fact they use them.
Why not speak the truth instead of your opinion?
I did speak the truth. I know plenty of pros. I've been in their homes. I've been in their kitchens. Do they occasionally have a protein shake? Some of them do. But let's not confuse protein powder with the 98% of crap that dominates the "supplement" market.
The truth is, no one needs that additional protein anyway, except for a juicing pro. And certainly no one needs the endless supply of crap that is constantly peddled with full knowledge that it does jack squat. Let me start with:
Yohimbe
L-Carnitine
Branch Chained Amino Acids
Tryptophan
Creatine
Gamma Oryzynol
Testosterone "Precursors"
100% Egg Protein with a PERFECT PROTEIN RATING of 4.0
100% Whey Protein that is BETTER THAN EGG PROTEIN
Milk Protein that is better than Egg and Whey Protein (Mother's Milk)
Sugar Water (aka CarboForce and its progeny)
Liver Tablets
Glutamine
Candy Bars (Promax, Detour and its progeny)
Fat Burners without ephedrine
Sugar Powder (Weight gainers)
I could go on but I'm going to the pool.
