I lowkey hate bloating tho im already sensitive af to my protein shakes

hitting another gear

22 lbs to go

gained 20 pounds this summer
still got my abs tho

i don’t take creatine but i was pushing the biggest weight of my life on it it’s a real PED

My back looks legit fantastic but these little man t*** are unrelenting

Should men take collegen ?

Why not?

i do

what is that again?

this f***en weather made me not go to the gym f***en blackouts its the only thing that can stop me from going to the gym like yesterday got to the gym as soon i am about to start the power goes off in the gym

Actual gamechanger for me after i was skeptical
Also makes my boners stronger for some reason

Is the loading phase of creatine essential?

Why not?

I use it in my smoothies. Wouldn’t use it as your main source of protein because it’s not a complete protein, but it’s good for your joints, connective tissue, skin, and hair.

No. Whenever I get back on I load because I’m impatient but it doesn’t make a difference in the long run

I was planning on only using it after working out (3-4) times a week

Might make more sense to load if you’re going to do that tbh. Basically the way it works best is when your muscles are saturated with the stuff, which taking 5g a day typically takes about 3 weeks maybe 4. But if you just take it 3-4 times a week it’ll take even longer. You might be able to maintain saturation by supplementing after workouts 3-4 times a week after a loading phase.

But really the stuff can be found pretty cheap these days and it’s easy to just throw a scoop in your mouth and drink it down with water. I’d just take the serving daily even on off days to ensure you’re getting the benefits

Thank you for explaining this so well :)

These protein shakes are steroids essentially

I only say that cuz sometimes I stop taking shakes for a few weeks and the difference without them is very real

Feelimg the DOMS in my biceps

When I first started taking I felt a mental boost, like more clarity and energy. Very good supplement in my experience, especially with the muscle building advantages

Basically means you’re not getting enough protein in your normal diet. Which tbh without protein powder can be hard and expensive

Protein shakes are bailing me out for sure
