Recently read some interesting nutrition comments on another site that discussed, in part, digestion of protein & incomplete or isolated proteins. Can someone with th required knowledge separate the wheat from the chaff, as it were, in the following comments? What's true & what's not...

I think we are still awaiting the go-ahead from Bryan on availability of the "revamped" Primer & Driver; the stuff vendors currently have is evidently the sub-optimal formulation from his original supplier.

Holy crap, edziu! (couldn't resist). Can't say as I've had that problem myself... Seriously... might you be lactose-intolerant & not know it? Are you eating lots of dairy?

That's probably a decision that only you can make!

Read this post on creatine for Bryan's thoughts.

Ok... Maybe it's not proper gym etiquette, but... could you take a couple plates, stack them & place them under one end of the bench?

If you only have a fixed bench - do you have access to a couple 2x4s? Just cut them to about 2 feet in length, screw them together & place them under the rear foot of the bench. This is one way to get a "slight incline" which is in the area of about 10 degrees, or the 1st notch...

St. Paul, Minnesota, USA Work out in my basement - very convenient. No lines!

If unable to do 15 dips, use decline bench press instead. Change to dips when you're at the right RM range. Don't feel bad; I have very weak shoulders too... but working on it! :confused:

Sean - Have you read this, and does it make sense? Eating For Size

Micmic - thanks for the info! One point, which may sound silly but... my understanding is that "whole foods" take longer to digest & absorb, and thus are not desirable as part of the post-workout drink. They are fine, though for the following meal. The silly part: if I put a...

Do we want to stay away from things with high-fructose corn syrup for post-workout drinks? Most of the processed juices seem to have this.

Micmic - thanks for the link. I've seen this before, but find it maddening to look at, as you suggest. My reason for asking: for normal dietary use in meal planning, but also to determine some good options for post-workout drinks. Since I do not own a chemical lab ;) I have limited...

Could someone who is "in the know" provide several examples each of foods that would be considered high- or low-glycemic index (GI) foods? And, is there a correllation between these foods & those that would be considred simple or complex carbs? Much appreciated - thanks in...

From what I've read here (forum & FAQ) from Bryan, you could also expect some insane fat gain by doing this. I believe it's recommended to ramp-up the calorie intake over a few weeks instead of all at once.

Try this for a post-workout shake: 1 cup skim milk 1/2 cup fat-free vanilla yogurt (or 1 6-oz container fat free fruit yogurt) 1 scoop protein 2 ice cubes 3 strawberries (or some other fruit you like) Mix in blender for 15-20 seconds. About 350 calories, 35g protein, 52g carb (add more...

I'm wondering: 1) When Primer & Driver (new formulation/mfgr) will be available? Sounded like it might be a while. 2) Are either of these suitable as a "normal" protein supp, that one might use for a MRP or along with a food meal? Right now, for these purposes, I'm using a GNC...

Evening cardio won't hurt, and is certainly better than no cardio at all! Good luck!

250g protein = 1000 cals 190g carb = 760 cals 69g fat = 621 That's 2381. Depending on your activity level & age, that might even be above maintenance. I would suggest: - keep the cardio, but you might want to try it 1st thing in the morning, fasted-state - do 15-20 minutes moderate...

Any idea what your diet (cal intake, macronutrient ratios ) looks like?
