What Does Whey Protein Do?

February 21st, 2009

Here is a very quick breakdown of what whey protein does…

Protein levels in the body are depleted during workouts (and whey protein contains amino acids).

We need both essential and non-essential amino acids as they fuel the rebuilding of muscle, and are a precursor necerassy for it.

Whey protein happens to contain these amino acids at the right level for rapid intake and usage. This increases both hormonal and cellular response if taken right after a workout. As such, it helps to build muscle, reduces muscle deterioration, and enhances endurance.

The benefit of whey protein is that it contains branched-chain amino acids.

These have the ability to be metalbolised directly into the muscle instead of the liver like other amino acids, thus improving your bodybuilding or fitness training.

Do bodybuilding supplements work?

February 12th, 2009

Many people ask this question about bodybuilding supplements. There is no doubt that supplements help to enhance the recovery and performance of bodybuilders and other athletes, but this is because they have the basics in place already.

They already have a good, clean diet of protein, carbs and fat. They drink adequate water and they workout with weights, while also performing cardio on a regular basis. As they have the bodybuilding basics in place, any supplements that they add to their program enhances their physique and performance.

The problem most people have is that they want a miracle sport supplement. They want the ultimate fat burner, or the incredible muscle builder. They don’t want to put in the effort and the discipline to succeed.

Bodybuilding supplements work as an aid to your diet and training. But they wont give you a miracle cure if you want to eat garbage and watch TV all day long. The question is how much do you want that great body, strength or endurance?
