Thank you for making me dumber from reading your replies in this post. I now know that nutrient timing is not effective and using pasteurized dead milk with very poor bioavailibility is a good idea pwo. Great idea too bad the old school guys used raw milk which is alive and full of enzymes and is actually well tolerated by most.
Your points are moot. Nutrient timing is the most important thing to master especially if you are natural. Not having a shake or eaa powder pwo is retarded if your goal is improvement. Whey is easily digested and highly bioavailable. I can post numerous studies showing how important pwo nutrition is to success and how waiting 2 hours after exercise to eat will lead to the same results as not exercising. I do agree with you that the latest greatest supps are not always " needed" but hey nost here are athletes and bber's and don't want to do what is need they want to do what will make them the fucking best the can possibly be. I could tell you some basic free form AA's that can be cheaply ordered in powder form that will dramatically increase reovery and progress over you BS milkshake, but why bother when it will only fall on deaf ears. You obviously have zero grasp of exercise physiology and why you should take advatage of eating easily digestable protein and carb sources (not as necessary as the protein) is essential pwo.
I personally don't think WMS is worth the shitty taste and the price for my goals but I do know a number of people that have benefitted from using it.
Oh yeah and creatine works. While it is not directly anabolic, it does immediatley increase strength and power output. It does this by increasing the rate of transfer of the action potential through the muscle cell. This leads to a faster more forceful contraction leading to increased innervatation of the muscle(along with other pns modifications allowing greater frequency of ap's to be carried through neurons leading to faster wave of summations) which then will lead to muscle cell growth with PROPER NUTRITION.
aesop brings up a good point about the dead milk.. the dudes of old were drinkin raw cows milk which is probably one of the best foods for a bodybuilder! the milk we buy now even organic is shitty! I have drank raw milk a few times and I tolerate it very well as opposed to past. milk from the grocery store... raw cows milk is illegal in most states but if you know a farmer you could probably get a few gallons off him for a few bucks...
