Yes, IMO. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the point that it breaks down slowly, giving you protein source as you sleep? In that sense, it doesn't matter what you do when you wake up, and in fact it would be even more beneficial if you have a morning workout.

I could be wrong, and usually am, though.

I get that, but why do I need a slow source of protein while I sleep? If I get enough protein during the day after my workout....

Because your body will use up the protein it has available sometime through the night, and you are in a catabolic state through the night. While you sleep is the time a majority of your muscle rebuilding takes place. You want your body to have the nutrients it needs during this period.

Like I said, I'm no expert. I'm just regurgitating info I read online.

FWIW, wikipedia says that milk protein is 80% composed of casein. So, a glass of milk before bed or some cheese may be a decent alternative. Though, there may certain fats and other things in milk that make it less attractive, I dunno.

You just want to have something in your system.

Great answer thrasher, and I am a big fan of skim milk. I drink that before bed usually.

Whole milk when building, skim milk when cutting? Can we agree?

Or are the fats in whole milk actually good fats? If so, awesome, cuz whole milk is the bomb diggity.

This gay guy I work with asked me to train him (and he looks the part). I can't wait until somebody at the gym asks me if I'm gay. "I'm not gay, but my partner is" will have never been more appropriate.

Lawl.

There is a guy at my gym that looks like a badass. I never spoke to him until the other day, and immediately came to the conclusion that he is gay. You'd never know it by looking at him. Of course, I could just be stereotyping him, based on his extremely feminine voice.

Milk is great when bulking, whether it is skim milk or whole milk. I drink skim because that is what I like. I do not drink milk when cutting, but that is just me.

Me neither, but I cut with a Ketosis diet. My buddy is talking me into trying the warrior diet which does allow for milk.

IMO diuretics(fat burners) only work for energy, you are not going to just get shredded off a fat burner. Diet is the whole key. JMO, not trying to rip you or anything.

Most fat burners are just glorified caffeine pills. Compound 20 is a true thermogenic, same as CLA but reported to be much more effective. It does not contain caffeine, it targets body fat. Best testament to its ability is that its been really hard to get, everyone sold out. It just hit shelves again in most places but it still goes quick.

OxyElite is their "fat burner". Really just Jack3d in pill form.

A lot of guys are cutting without diet, just added Compound 20 to the routine, and are raving about it on several different forums.

Chocolate milk is considered one of the best post workout drinks (from what I've read). Why is that?

I just drink water with a scoop of protein. But again, I shouldn't even in be in this thread. Can't help it.

I just checked it out, really good reviews. This **** looks legit, did it just come out? I have a feeling it will be banned within a year by just reading up about Beta-2 andrenoceptor.

Milk protein is good stuff. I dunno if it's better than whey protein, but there's a lot in it, and it breaks down slowly, giving you a long term boost of protein.

I would have thought whey protein would be better post-workout, though, because it breaks down quickly to give you an instant source of protein.

Whey protein is what I use.

Got some apple cider vinegar. Drank my first serving tonight. Yuck.

GF mixed it with orange flavored "mio" and you can't even taste it. Hope this stuff works. I'll try anything once. :wink:

I'm out of my area of expertise when it comes to supplements, but I think most powders derive their protein primarily from milk.
