Supplement Guide

hey raynor, as the semester goes on, its getting busier and busier for me everyday.

i only have time for this now

2 scoops of whey, 1 cup oatmeal, 1 banana
200 g pasta, 5 eggs scrambled, 4 cups of milk
peanut butter sandwich (as much peanut butter as i can cram in there) + 4 cups of milk + (sometimes) a plate of mixed veggies
4 cups of milk with 1 scoop of whey before bed

is this enough? i weight 155 pounds, 5' 8''. trying to gain weight/strength

It's close...if you could possibly throw in a meal replacement bar during the day that would help. Try VPX Zero Impact (very healthy) or MetRX Big 100 Colossal (less healthy)

hey raynori have a protein and amino acid question

We need protein so our body can break down into usable amino acids to our muscles correct?

if that is true than why not just take BCAA's instead of whey protein than?

Or amino acid supplements, which are cheaper. Can anyone who is aware of this type of knowledge let me know?

There are people who say just taking BCAA's or amino acids are much better, since its more abundant than whey protein.

Thanks

Yes, that is what we require.

The reason is because you require a LOT of protein in order to provide as much aminos as is needed by the body.

Example, 6 oz of chicken breast has around 6g of arginine alone. To take 6g worth of arginine from supplements (not to mention the 6g of lysine, and all dozens of other aminos in chicken breast) you would result in paying MUCH more for the equivalent amount of aminos.

So why take supplemental aminos at all you might ask? The reason is simple - rapid absorption at specific times during the day to achieve certain things...such as arginine pre workout, glutamine post workout, and carnitine on an empty stomach between meals.

Basically, amino supps are meant simply for quick absorption and direct action for that particular event. General consumption of MANY aminos is mostly for slow release over a given time for repair, regeneration, sustainability, and anabolism.
