What is the best cotraceptive pills to prevent pregnancy?

Answer

I am on microgynon 30 and so I have been ok, no nasty surprises, however you will need to be careful for the 1st 2-3 weeks of starting any new pill and use addiction contraception. Just while your body can accept it.

 I have herd a few stories of people becoming pregnant while using it and other pills availble, but taking it at the same time daily and not being sick or having an upset stomache. you should be fully coverd. I have been using it for 4 years, their can be some side effects, headaches, sore boobs… but everybody is different.

Good luck

What is the absolute best way to prevent pregnancy during intercourse WITH A CONDOM?

What is the absolute best way to prevent pregnancy. Can someone please evaluate the chances of getting pregnant if the following are used:

1. Male condoms with spermicide (just incase)

2. Pull out before ejecuation

3. Birth control pills for 28 days (is this even necessary)

Please evaluate…or comment on how it can be improved…(or too much)

Answer

Chances of pregnancy is none if you are practising the three steps above together, no further enhacement is required; these three steps together is too much (as you said). If not broken during action condom is the best, with it pull out is not required, tabs creates hormone troubles to many, hence stick to the first option

Best way to prevent pregnancy when you want to make love?

What is the best way to prevent chances of being pregnant when you want to make love?

lets say

1.cleaning penis before wearing condom and wait for it to dry before putting condom on

2.using condom with spermicide(read something about this and it said spermicide irritates vagina and increases chances of breakage, so i shouldnt use condom with spermicide)

3. using lube to decrease chances of breakage

4. pulling out before ejaculation

what if i use all these steps. what are the chances?

THE ONLY chance of getting pregnant when using a condom is the condom breaking or slipping off right? thats what makes the 98%?

Answer

1) Use a condom. Every time.

2) She should be on the pill.

This gets rid of 98% of the chances of her getting pregnant… the 2% uncertainty comes from human error… just be careful.

What is the best way to prevent pregnancy after having sex?

What is the best way to prevent pregnancy after having sex? Today is the 5th day after having sex with my boyfriend. Is there any medicines (asides from pills, because pills will only prevent pregnancy if you take it right after having sex) that will prevent pregnancy???

Answer

It’s pretty much too late to do the morning after pill. All you can really do now is hope that you aren’t pregnant. In a few more days, go get a pregnancy test. If you’re pregnant, go see your doctor to discuss your options. If you’re not, thank whatever you believe in and promise yourself to be more careful in future. At least use a barrier method like condoms. What I do to be extra safe is I’m on the pill AND I use condoms. Your future is at risk here. You have to stay smart. Good luck, and I’ll be sending good thoughts your way!

Blessed be.

Heres what im working with.

http://i112.photobucket.com/albums/n183/…

Answer

I think the best thing would be a transition from heavy weights with low reps to lower weight with a more reps.Begin with a moderately heavy weight and do reps that are a little bit uncomfortable to you. After that, begin with a lower weight again with more reps, again that becomes a strain. Then a lower weight again with a few more reps. Keep going down in weight and more in reps. Finally you do light weight and a lot of reps but it will seem really hard. After you get to a low weight and do a good amount of reps, go work on something else like your abs then come back to try the same thing as much as you can handle. This will help you get the tone you want.

I workout and i do more reps and less weight. will that build muscle plus burn fat at the same time.?

i want to get bigger and leaner

Answer

Get bigger with more weight and less reps and do cardio to lose the weight.

When toning abs on a strength machine more reps or more weight?

I have a belly that I am working on getting rid of. At my gym there is an abdominal machine and I do 100 crunches at a 65 weight resistance. I feel like I need to increase something but I don’t know if I should increase the weight or the reps. I just want to get my stomach as flat as I can not really all muslcely ripped. What should I increase? Please help me and my fat belly.

Answer

I’d increase the reps. You increase weight to build muscle, reps to increase endurance. But you’re trying to burn fat too it sounds like so more reps will tone and cardio will burn. Hope that helps.

By the way, I got a flat tummy with defined lines just by doing crunches every night with increased reps.

Building bigger muscles is it better to do more weight less reps or more reps less weight?

Answer

Generally the accepted protocol for bodybuilding is 6-10 reps for gaining size. However, 5×5 has become extremely popular due to the successful programs published by Mark Rippetoe and the guys from Westside Barbell. I have used the following schemes in my compound movements (Squats, deadlifts, bench press, and C & J) :

3×3 Produced a lot of strength, but only average muscle gain. This is more than likely due to the fact that three repetitions is non enough time under tension (TUT) to produce ample musclular breakdown. However, it does put an extreme amount of stress on the central nervous system (CNS), therefore making it more efficeient at firing motor neurons. This will make you stronger and more efficient at the exercise, but won’t put on as much size.

5×5 This gave me the best size gains that I’ve seen. The increased TUT induced plenty of musclular breakdown while still providing significant increases in strength. I guess this is why it’s become so popular with today’s strength coaches.

4×6 Similar gains to 5×5, but burned me out after about two months. The one extra set for one less rep made a difference!

3×8-10 While eight reps would seem to be perfect for bodybuilding, I never saw significant gains with it after progressing out of the beginner stage. Both size and strength stalled after the beginner gains faded away. So while it’s a great way to get into lifting, I don’t think it’s the proper protocol for intermediate or advanced lifters.

Note that these schemes are only for my compound movements, usually supplemented by another medley of exercises at various rep ranges. For these supplemental lifts I stay with six to twelve reps. The bigger the muscle, the more weight I use for less reps. An example would be that I might supplement my legs with split-squats for 3×6 due to the massive amount of muscle being worked, but might do calf raises for 4×10 because of their natural endurance and size. Also, try to use enough weight for you to fail on the prescribed rep. If it’s 5×5, you might be able to get 2×5, 2×4, and 1×3. Keep working with that weight until you can complete five reps on all five sets. Then add weight. Best of luck!

Less weight and more reps orr higher weight and more reps?

Ok, soo I’ve heard that if you want to get toned you should do a lower weight with more reps, but if you want to “bulk up” you use more weight and less reps.

Personally, I just want to increase my strength and get toned, and I’ve been doing more of the higher weight less rep deal, basically using whatever weight I can do for 3 sets of 12…but yeah, I’ve heard the light weight thing is a myth, yeah or no?

Answer

You actually are referring to 3 competing goals: 1. building strength, 2. building size/mass, and 3. toning.

To build strength you would use lower weights, 4-6 is a good strength building range.

To build mass, you would use a higher rep range to induce hypertrophy. A typical mass building routine would be in the 8-12 rep range.

If you are trying to reduce body fat (ie tone), you really could use either rep ranges, but reduce your caloric intake.

Note that an obvious side effect of lifting heavier weight and getting stronger will be to put on muscle mass.

T-Nation.com has great articles on this subject.

What workouts are best for getting stronger, looking bigger, and getting cut?

My roommate and I were having a discussion while lifting the other day about what workouts are best for different purposes. My friend is trying to get bigger while I am trying to get more cut. We discussed the following workouts: High reps/lower weights, Low reps/high weights.

We also debated whether compound workouts or isolated workouts were better. From your own experience, what workouts are best at doing what, not limited to the ones we talked about. But if you do list a different one, please explain it. Thanks.

Answer

Yes lower reps high weight gains more strength, and high reps low weight increases endurance. But if your looking to get big or if your looking to get cut up….look no further than what your eating. Too much emphasis gets put on your workout…..regardless of your workout, its what your feeding you body that’s going to determine what size you get. If he does 4-5 reps and double the weight and goes home and eats 1500 calories a day and you do more reps and less weight and get 3000 good calories, your gonna get bigger and hes gonna get more cut up!!…Sorry, but it really is that simple.

Which is better for strength training: higher reps with less weight or less reps with more weight?

I want to build my strength up, be able to lift more when I work out, but which is it, less weight with more repetitions or more weight with less repetitions? I’ve heard it both ways.

Answer

Low weight high reps for toning and strength

High weight low reps to build mass

Best way to build muscle. reps and sets?

i heard starting off with low weight high reps working your way up in weights and down in reps is better than starting off with high weight low reps.

example:

20lbs 12-15 reps failure x1 set

25lbs 8-12 reps failure x1 set

30lbs 4-8 reps failure x2

i heard this is better than just doing 3 sets of 4-8 reps with 30lbs,

i pretty confused. help would be most apreciated

Answer

If you want to build muscle, its about heavier weights, lower reps and protein shakes. Once muscle has been built then you move on to lower weights more reps, that tones the muscle and defines it. Also try resistance training instead of lower-weights, more reps for toning.

One thing to note is not to work out everyday, muscle is built while your resting, so work out 3 times a week max. Some people work out upper body one day, then cardio, then lower, then upper and so on. But thats pretty intense. Id highly advise you to take a day off between exercising.

Good luck, building muscle up takes time so dont rush or get impatient.

What works better? less weight more reps? more weight less reps?

I want to build muscle for strength and burn fat. Especially in my stomach area. I can do 30 reps at a weight that doesn’t fatigue my muscles. If more weight less reps will achieve bette results. I’m all for that.

Answer

More weight - Less reps will build bulk

Less weigh - More Reps will tone and define muscle

If you can do 30 reps of a weight with no fatigue then you need to up your weight. But only by a small amount.

But if you want to get larger you need to up your weight a lot and drop the reps down dramatically!

To gain muscle Do you do more reps less weight or more weight less reps?

Trying to tone up and gain some muscle on my thin frame but I was wondering if I should do more reps and less weight or more weight and less reps?

Answer

2 - 3 sets with a rep range of about 8 - 10 with the heaviest weights you can manage will gain you strength and some growth but Females don’t put on much growth as we don’t have the testosterone for bulking.

However you will get strong & toned from doing this.

What’s Swine Flu? 10 points for BEST ANSWER!!!!?

It’s all over Yahoo! and probaly the news, still didn’t check. But anyway, Can it kill you, how do you prevent it?

Answer

Swine flu has similar symptoms to the more common, human seasonal form of influenza.

It is one of a number of viruses that cause illness among people and animals, causing respiratory problems, fever and fatigue.

Avian flu - which has previously been the subject of pandemic fears after humans began contracting it - is another deadly strain.

According to the Health Protection Agency, outbreaks of swine flu - a disease caused by type A influenza - regularly affect pigs.

People who are around pigs are most likely to suffer from the H1N1 virus but it is also possible for the virus to spread from person to person.

Evoking memories of the fears associated with bird flu, the latest perceived threat of a pandemic was brought to public attention after cases of human swine flu were reported in Mexico and parts of California and Texas in the US.

There have been no cases identified in the UK for at least 10 years.

Scientists found this virus is contagious and spreading from human to human although they do not know how easily the virus spreads between people, the HPA said.

The symptoms of swine influenza in people are similar to the symptoms of regular human seasonal flu and include fever, fatigue, lack of appetite, coughing and sore throat. Some people have also reported vomiting and diarrhoea.

Testing has shown that the human swine influenza H1N1 can be treated with the antivirals oseltamavir (Tamiflu) and zanamivir (Relenza).

======================================…

Source(s):

Can it kill you: YES. Not always, but it has a high mortality rate.

Why can it kill you: It is a strain of influenza (flu) virus that mutated from pigs. Humans have been 100% unexposed to it up until now, so we have no resistance or immunity to it.

How do you prevent it: Don’t go to Mexico, stay away from pigs or hispanics (NOT being racist but mexicans are the ones who are most likely to carry it einstein), and take Tamiflu and Relenza, because they have been known to fight the chance of you GETTING the virus.

Once you actually HAVE the virus… you’re probably f*cked, at least according to the statistics.

Swine Flu Phase 5 Already?10 Points Best Answer?

How Is Swine Flu Already A Phase 5, I Don’t Think It Needs To Be Five Yet But Now That It Is What Are The Procedures The Governments Going To Start Taking,Will They Shut Down Schools,Stores,Etc Like In Mexico Or What???

Answer

umm not yet. phase 5 is right before an pandemic. phase 5 is when the world is almost to the point of pandemic but not quite. there’s still less than 100 cases of it in the US. and as for the school thing well…. maybe is all i can say. in mexico they only closed because it’s in the heart of the city and that if everyone is out and around then it spreads faster. as for the US there’s not enough cases for the school to close.

don’t worry yet. it’s not yet a pandemic and the drug industry are already stockpiled one kind of anti-viral drug which is working against this virus unlike before in which there were none.

Swine flu… Opinions I will pick best answer?

opinions… Will it kill us all, do u think it’s going to become a huge problem? Anything u think… I’m curious?

Answer

Just like the influenza virus, it will have the same symptoms and probably effects. You can catch is from swine, or from an infected person. I don’t think we’re all going to DIE. Remember the big SARS scare…do you know anyone who got that?

I think the scare is it’s a new virus, like the Avian flu, so we don’t know much about it, or how to prevent it.

As far as we know, it’s only dangerous for the sick, young and old (i.e. those with weak immune systems).

Until we know more info, there’s no reason to panic. There are 6 billion people in the world,and we only know of a couple hundred who have been adversely affected.

I think, just like anything, you always need to keep your self as healthy as possible, pandemic or not. Eating healthy and exercising is always beneficial to fighting off sickness.

If you live in Maine, you live in a relatively isolated area, and you’re probably better off living in a rural area than a congested area.

Swine Flu questions………….?

I was wondering what sort of surgical masks would be suitable to protect one from any possible outbreak?

Also i have read that there is a mushroom that would be beneficial to have handy just in case, anyone know the name of this mushroom?

Finally has anyone seen anything around were they live that isn’t currently being spoken about by the media

Im from northern Ireland myself and if any medical personnel have heard anything please leave an answer

Answer

UK is among the best prepared for deal with any flu pandemic. Scientists are already working flat out to find a cure for this particular swine-flu virus. In the meantime, there’s plenty of drugs in the form of tabs [anti-biotics I guess] which will control the disease and stop it dead in it’s tracks.

The flu virus is airborne, thus wearing a surgical mask or a simple dust mask as used by workers, will probably stop the virus getting into your lungs. You might consider coating the mask with such as TCP or Isopropyl Alc. etc.

Swine flu is not new, as these links below will explain. However there is one difference between the present outbreak and those of the past, in that the virus has now apparently developed the ability to jump from one human being to another, where before it could only infect people who had direct contact with the pigs who were carrying the virus.http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=s…

Weight lifting and weight training

5×5 weight training 10 points to best answer?

i would like to start the 5×5 weight lifting program but i am not sure of the principles and stuff - like how much to increase lifts by and how ofen and what cadence should you have when lifting and stufft - cheers.

Answer

Hey mate I just started a 5×5 weight lifting program, a friend from work gave me. Its only 3 day a week workout but he reckons from the ten years of lifting he has made the most significant gains. The program he gave me is..

Monday:

Bench Press

Pull Downsor Weighted Heaves

Squats

10min Abs

Wed:

Shoulder press

Bicep Curls

Calf Raises

Fri:

Deadlifts

Weighted Dips or Close grip bench

Shrugs

10min Abs

This is 5×5 starting at about 90% of your one rep maxium, but that is for the last set. So the first four sets your working up to the 90%. Then each week add 1.25kg to each arm/leg for 12weeks. And should give you good strength and mass gains. Im currently week 4 and already notice good strenght gains. Make sure you also eat well Oh and i usually leave about 1min-1.5min rest between sets.

Should I lose weight before weight training or during?

I’m 323 pounds and I was wondering if I it was better If I lost more weight before I strength trained or not.

Answer

Definitely during…. weight training by itself won’t help you lose weight much, however: cardio is best for this - however, gaining muscle does speed up your metabolic rate a lot, so it is a good help nevertheless!! If you just try to lose a bunch of weight without exercise you’ll simply end up skinny, and prone to bouncing back to your original weight easily!! Gaining muscle is a good way to help raise your metabolic weight on a long term basis, which will help KEEP the weight off (and make you look good also…..).

Is cardio or weight lifting better for weight loss?

i work out during the day on my lunch, so I only have about 40 minutes really to work out (10 minutes on either side for changing). I’m about a size heavier (approx 8lbs) than I’d like to be, and given my limited time, which will help the weight come off faster, strength training or cardio, if I only have time to do one or the other?

Answer

Both actually…. why not do 3 cardio days and 2 strength training days? That way you can loose weight while also toning your muscles… Also, make sure you’re eating a healthy diet!

Weight lifting deadlift question?

How much weight should a 14 year old boy be lifting on the deadlift?

By the way im pretty skinny and am currently lifting about 24kg.

Answer

i’m skinny myself. i weigh about 59 kg. and i’m 14 years old. i dead lift about 93 kg but i have a large advantage cause my arms are extremely long so i can easily get low to the bar. keep up the work! strengthen your legs and back and find a good technique.

good luck!

How long should my Weight Lifting Session be?

I’ve been strength training for the last 2 years now, usually i lift weights for about half an hour. i was wondering how long a recommended session should be? and if my muscles don’t pain the day after my workout can i lift weights everyday (i’ve been doing heavy weights for so long that my muscles don’t tire as easily)?, and also, lately i have wanted to try out some protein shakes, and i wanted to know what good shakes that you would recommend, id prefer them to be cheap but have good results at the same time. Cheers

Answer

half an hour isn’t bad. but if you’re strength training, more reps less weight. so try doing that for a hour of 45 min. as for cheap protein shakes, just down three raw eggs in the morning and that’ll be the equivalent amount of protein in one of those shakes. add in some multivitamins and some ginseng extract and you got the shake it’s self.

working out-don’t worry about how many reps you can do, but rather how long you can last. So instead of counting out reps, have your spotter keep time, like just do bench presses for 5 min, without counting reps.

What’s the best type of weight lifting for track & field?

I am a football player in high school for my freshman year and I am also a track runner. I weight lift for football but I don’t want to become too heavy for track & field. What’s the best kind of weight lifting that I can do for track and field that can give me strength but not build any heavy muscle? Should I do lots of reps and low weights or VERY little reps and heavy weights?

My current weight lifting workout is Bench Press (175lb 4-5 reps) and Squat (205 lb 8 reps) and other unipmortnat things to mention.

Answer

depends man what events are you planning on doing? if your doing distance you want usually like 3 sets of 16reps (less weight). if your sprinting probably want to get 3sets of 8-12 reps (more weight)

What are the best exercises or building up lats/shoulders?

Answer

Push-ups. Bar none. Push-ups work you entire shoulder. And your chest and arms as a secondary benefit.

Work up to 20-25 military style push ups. If your shoulders are weak, start with 3 sets of 8. Build up from there.

Rest a day in between your push-up sets.

Best method for building arm muscles / widening shoulders?

yeah… I want to build up my arm muscles and widen my shoulders a bit! they seem a little too scrawny for me, and I need them widee. I’m prepared to buy equipment for all of this; i have around $700 to spend on weight-training equipment. I have an elliptical and treadmill so i’ve gotten the legs covered and I do plenty of pull/push-ups and things like that.

Answer

You can keep most of that 700 dollars. You need to buy some dumbbells. You can build your shoulder with lateral raises and your arms with different curls and extensions. For more info go to:

Body building injury, Shoulder Dislocation,,,?

hi

before 3 weeks when i was in gym training i have injured my left shoulder , during exercise -seated dumbbell presses- so the joint Dislocated and i put my hand on it and pushed it back to previous location. it dose not hurt .much. i haven’t seen doctor just stopped training for about 3 weeks,, and know after 3 weeks from the injury my shoulder dose not hurt me even when i play , BUT when i play i notice that the the muscle or joint ,i don’t know, moves strange when i train shoulder muscles.

so what should i do ?

Answer

You should really see a doctor. A friend of dislocated his shoulder while skiing last year and it did not seem like a serious injury. However, since then, he has popped it out numerous times, and now has to wrap it before all of his hockey games. He will probably have to have correctional surgery, and even with that, his shoulder will probably not ever completely return to normal. You should get it fixed now so that you can continue playing sports in the future.

Shocking Tips on How to Build Chest Muscles

Building chest muscles is one of the concerns for every man and woman. Many people ask them self the question how can I build chest muscles?

Do light bench presses. Use comfortable weights and do one or two light sets of bench presses. This will help you to get the blood flowing to your shoulders, arms and especially your chest.

Upper body stretch. This is best before doing any heavy lifting. Stretching out your shoulders, chest and arms is necessary. Proper warm ups and stretching exercises help you to prevent soreness and injury during workout.

Do the proper bench press. The ultimate builder of chest muscle is the flat bench press. It tests the upper body strength and it integrates the shoulders, arms and chest. To build chest muscle, bench press is one of the exercises that should not be missed.

Incline bench press. This is also an important exercise to build chest muscle. The upper chest is the main focus of incline bench press.

Doing the proper dumbbell flyes can improve the shape of the muscle. It focuses on the chest muscle itself and requires lighter weight only. You can do dumbbell flyes on flat or incline bench.

You should never forget your diet to build your chest muscle, or to any kind of exercise. The proper intake of protein is necessary for chest muscle development. Because of your workout, you will feel hungry more often. The best diet is low fat, low carbohydrates and high protein.

It will help if you research, whether on the internet or fitness magazine. It is recommend that you follow a muscle building program to attain the best result.

These tips are just the beginning. If you really want to have a bulked up, lean, muscular body, you need to check out the GainMuscleReview.Com.

Is there any side effects from taking whey protein isolate?

I do not have diabetes but will taking whey protein damage my liver or my pancreas? Will it spike insulin levels or cause blood sugar problems. I understand that a big mac hamburger contains 30 grams of protein and so does a serving of whey so Im not concerned about any kidney damage. I just want a extra boost in energy is it safe>or is it even going to give me Extra Fuel i need?

Answer

There are side effects.

Firstly, large amounts of protein make blood more acidic. To neutralize the blood, calcium is drawn from the bones. Also, production of free radicals increases, so you should counter it with a lot of antioxidants .

Secondly, (this is not common knowledge, see Dr. Russel Blaylock’s books and website) any protein isolate contains exitotoxins similar to MSG that increase level of free glutamate in the body. Glutamate cause neurons to be super exited, and then die (very simplified explanation) The effect can be as devastating as Alzheimer’s in the far future or some health issues here in there in the near future - depending on what is the weak spot in your body. One person can get depressed for example, nothing would happen to another. So please use protein isolates with caution.

If you need energy boost, consider complex carbs (nuts/seeds/grains), they do not cause insulin spike because sugar gets into the blood gradually. And they contain plant protein. Almonds, for example, have a plethora of health benefits, and 21% of weight is protein. You may also consider using superfoods like maca , ginseng etc.

Hope this helps

What are the side effects of whey protein, if any at all?

I’ve been told its just protein, but I guess I look at it as a supplement and I get a little suspicious with supplements. I’ve also heard different things from different people so not really sure what to believe I guess. So, is there any side effects of whey protein? Any health risks, effects on penis size, etc? I did hear it can cause kidney problems if you take too much, but how much is too much? Thanks in advance.

Answer

No, you won’t get any serious side effects with whey protein. Actually, you won’t really get any, besides bulking up easier… About the kidney thing.. well it’s true that if you take more than like 60g at one time it could possible negatively effect your liver by overloading it, but as long as you take it in moderation (I never said don’t take 60g, I said don’t take a whole lot more..) you’ll be perfectly fine and very satisfied.

Side effects of whey protein?

Are there any short or long term side effects from taking whey protein?

Answer

Whey protein, are just that, protein - unlike some other types of supplements and drugs, whey protein supplements contain mostly whey and some other stuff like carbohydrates, calcium, some fats, and some fancy shimancy ingredients which really aren’t that special. So in other words, you can expect very little, if any side effects of taking whey protein supplements. Other than maybe gaining some lean mass, which is what you want. Also, there have been no documented side effects of whey protein, it’s just like the food you eat, causing no side effects.

Whey Protein - Any Side Effects? How long till it works?

I recently started using Whey Protein as a suplement for my workout plan. I use 1 scoop with milk in the morning and 1 scoop with water after my workout. How long before I start seeing any results? I’m pretty sure I can see a result after a week or so, but maybe it’s my imagination? =) (I got a pretty hectic workout plan, but it’s to be more firm, not for bulking up). Also, are there any side effects? I heard that it clogs, can mess up your kidneys etc. But as I can figure thats only if you over do it is a myth. I use bout 50 grams per day.

Thanks =)

Answer

Reading some of these answers is very comical. I don’t know why people post when they have no idea what they are talking about. Myth: Protein builds muscle. The fact is amino acids are responsible for muscle repair, it is true amino acids derive from protein, but certain types of protein contain different amino acids, so you cannot generalize protein. Myth: Protein damages kidneys. The truth is protein molecules are too large to be filtered through the kidneys, they are transported from the small intestine to the liver, where the liver decides to absorb them or send them on their way to be used elsewhere.

Let me help you out.

Taking protein will help increase muscle strength/mass. It is one of the few supplements that has been proven to work. Whey protein is a faster digesting protein, so I recommend taking it right after you work out. This get the amino acids into the blood stream and available for the muscles to grab. Casein is another type of protein powder you will commonly see. This is a slow digesting protein, so its going to give your body amino acids over a longer period of time. I would take casein protein right before bed or first thing in the morning. Milk has alot of casein protein and I like the fact that you mix whey(fast digesting) and milk in the morning. Of course, you have to eat a balanced diet, protein alone cannot build muscle. As far as i can tell you have a solid protein schedule and you should stick to it. Feel free to email me if you have any further questions. I enjoy answering questions in my field of research.

Whey protein for a sixteen year old???

hi there

i am 16 years of age and am 5 ft 5 iches tall,weighing 55 kilograms. I’m pretty lean and till recently had virtually no muscle on me.But over the last month I’ve been doing a hundred pushups a day, along with pull ups,squats,and crunches and have noticed that my body is getting toned.But now I need some mass in my body. Thing is,I am a vegetarian and hence my diet is limited.Also, I don’t do weights,coz I don’t want my height to get affected.I want to grow to around 5 ft 10 inches at least by the time I’m done with my growth.Now my question is…should I start using whey protein and continue my workout? Will it help me get more muscled? And does whey protein have any side effects like the dehydrating characteristics of Creatine? In short, can i start using whey protein soon along with a good workout? Will it help me get a better body? Thanks for your help.

Answer

Vegatarian?! enough with the nonsense!

If you want to grow then eat grain-fed lean meats like chicken and turkey. Also Beef and lamb are very high in protein. Eggs and fish are an excellent source of protein as well.

Stay away from Soy products as its an incomplete protein and your body does not digest the enzymes effeciently.

Whey will help. Take it AFTER your workouts. There will be no side effects to Creatine unless you are depriving your body of water. Thus you must drink more often than usual.

As for your workouts, you need to stress the muscles differently. Work out with weights (i.e. dumbells, barbells) and keep the reps down, anywhere from 5-10 reps per set for any given exercise. You will gain more muscle mass with low rep, high stress workouts.

There are no studies that confirm any side-effects that you mentioned.

As for ?llison response:

Soy protein IS an INCOMPLETE protein! They lack the sulphur bearing amino acids methionine and cysteine. The high-phytic acid in unfermented and processed soy (found in nearly all soy products) disrupts mineral absorption and can deplete your supply of zinc, magnesium, and calcium.

There is a reason why professional bodybuilders eat animal protein. Hormone injected animal products are obviously not good for several reasons that is why I suggested grain-fed, hormone-free meats.
