Some people are just built differently, and some need an extra help to bulk up. Once bulked up you don't need to keep taking in as much protein etc, but it does help.Shocking wrote:
My dad grew up eating meat once a week, saw pictures of him at 20 and he had bigger arms than many of the people I see in the gym nowadays, I can't for the life of me figure it would be necessary to ingest half a fucking kilo of protein daily to get decent muscles.
Spending about 15 euros a day on food, and I eat -a lot-, and I'm definitely doing fine. Sandwiches, eggs, meat.Wow, that's not a lot. I eat like ~2700+ a day, almost double11 Bravo wrote:

Also, since it's slow acting, should I take just casein on the days I don't work out, or keep up with the whey protein morning and night, with casein before bed?

I've heard take creatine in 6-8 week cycles with one week off not too sure why. Loading is pretty pointless I feel just take a small amount everyday make sure to drink enough water too.Sturgeon wrote:
I'd probably go for casein at night on both days and whey on the morning of a day after workout as you'll probably need that extra boost of readily available protein when you wake up.
They make whey. BSN aren't worth it, not for the price.Kampframmer wrote:
oh w8. I dont think BSN makes whey

How much did you gain over how long?
Not pointless at all. It does speed up saturation of creatine in the muscles, it just isn't necessary.wah1188 wrote:
