Pumping Up? How to Pick Your Protein Supplement
Pumping Up? How to Pick Your Protein Supplement
Our protein supplement guide will help you excel on the court, in the gym, or on the roadIf you take your workouts seriously, nutrition should be top of mind too. Protein is a great place to start, and focusing on getting the right types of protein, in the right amounts, and at the right times is key. Our protein supplement guide will help you meet your wellness goals, potentially improving your performance on the court, in the gym, or on the road.What type?
Whey
Whey protein is quick to digest and provides all of the protein building blocks - the amino acids. Our bodies cannot make some amino acids, and whey is ideal for meeting essential amino acid needs. Whey also supplies branched-chain amino acids (BCAA), and some research supports that they aid muscle recovery after hard workouts.
Casein
Compared with whey, casein is slower to digest, and results in a lower, yet more prolonged rise in blood amino acid levels, which may provide a particular advantage for body builders. At least one study supports that casein outshines whey in terms of promoting strength and lean body mass gains in people following a structured weight-training plan.
Rice
Rice protein is less likely to create allergic reactions than other proteins, and it comes from a plant, making it appropriate for vegetarians. Another potential advantage is that rice protein contains a high proportion of arginine, an amino acid that can dilate blood vessels, possibly enhancing blood flow to muscles. Rice is not a "complete" protein however; it doesn't supply all of the essential amino acids. Some products combine rice protein with proteins from sources like soy or milk to make it complete.
Egg
Egg protein is ideal for people who are looking to build new muscle. It has a very high protein efficiency ratio (PER), which is one measure of how well our bodies can use any particular form of protein. The higher the PER, the more efficiently our bodies can use that protein when we eat it. Egg is off the charts in terms of PER. Egg protein also is a complete protein, and is a good source of essential and branched chain amino acids. Egg protein powder is made from egg whites, and comes in a convenient, pasteurized powder form.
Soy
Soy protein is a high-quality plant protein that provides all essential amino acids, making it a good option for vegetarians. For the body to best utilize soy protein, vegetarians should also eat grain or dairy within a few days. Soy protein comes in two basic forms: soy protein isolate and soy protein concentrate. Soy protein isolate is the most highly purified form, and has a minimum protein content of 90%. Soy protein concentrate contains more carbohydrates, and has a protein content of approximately 70%. Concentrates tend to cost a little less, but if you find soy protein concentrate doesn't agree with you, try isolate, which is easier for some people to digest.
How much?
With protein, as with many nutrients, more is not always better. According to Dr. Doug Paddon-Jones, Associate Professor at the University of Texas Medical Branch and Director of Exercise Studies, "30 grams of protein appears to stimulate maximum muscle synthesis. For athletes, each meal and snack is a chance to hit the 30 gram mark, giving your body several opportunities each day to maximize muscle growth and repair."
Another reason to spread protein evenly through the day is simple efficiency. "Given that your body won't use much beyond 30 grams of protein at a time, it doesn't make sense to load up with more than this," says Paddon-Jones.
When?
- Breakfast-To support muscle building first thing in the morning, try trading traditional carb-heavy breakfast foods for more protein-rich options, such as a powder protein supplement mixed with milk and cereal.
- If you're heading into a long strength-training session-Sipping a casein-based protein supplement prior to and during your workout will give muscles sustained access to amino acids. If taken in the evening, casein can provide a steady supply of amino acids while you're sleeping.
- Immediately pre- or post-workout-Especially if your workout includes aerobic or circuit training, protein manufacturers recommend a whey protein-based liquid or powder supplement.

Comments about CytoSport™ Monster Milk™ - Chocolate:
I have been working out since I was in college. I've worked hard for my gains over the years, and I have used countless supplements and protein shakes. I have used the cheap stuff that tastes like garbage and gives you gas constantly. I've used decent tasting stuff that was moderately priced. I've used muscle milk.
Monster Milk is the best of the best. It has a distinct taste, but once you get used to it any other protein powder tastes like garbage. Monster Milk tastes like it is full of nutrients. And that is because it is.
I don't know if it shortens recovery, but it definitely helps builds lean muscle when used with a proper workout regimen. While I used to work out 5-6x per wk, I have discovered over the years that I get stronger the less I work out. More rest = better recovery = better gains. Most people out there hit plateaus because of overtraining. I used to be one of them.
But I drink a half shake in the morning (25g protein), whether I work out that day or not, and a half shake at night before bed. (not with milk like I used to). On days I workout, I drink another 1/2-3/4 of a shake immediately after I work out. I used to think I had to use 1g per lb of body weight each day, but that really is not true for everybody.
I got a bench for my basement in July of last year. I had taken about a year hiatus from working out before I got my bench. I pushed my bench max from around 250 to 305 by October, which was the higher than my highest previous bench max by 5 pounds. My weight went from about 200 to about 225. Then, I stopped working out from about November to February of this year (2013). Every day I still drank my muscle milk, half before bed and half in the morning.
I got back on the bench in February and I still jacked up 295. In a week I was back at 305, which is all the weight I have. So I bought 50 more pounds of weight. My bench max is now at 325 (it is March). With Muscle Milk and one bench (chest and tri) workout per week, I push my bench max up 5 pounds per week, and I hardly ever hit a plateau. These are excellent results.
I think the reason is that Monster Milk has many different types of proteins, and has things in it that makes it absorb better. And the small dose of creatine it has in it. I may work out only 3x per week (only one chest/tri wkout per week), but I go HARD. SUPER HARD. And I always feel strong and my muscles are always sore a few days afterward. The Monster Milk will make you a Monster. Try it a month and you will see results.
Another great thing is that it doesn't give you gas like most other drinks (which to me, gas is a sign your body is not processing all the protein as well as it should). With other drinks I would fart all the time, all night long, hahaha. If you've got a girl, that is not cool. Drink Monster Milk, be a strong Monster, go hard, and don't fart all the time!!Pros
