I’m going to let you in on a secret. A secret that you’ll be hard pressed to hear anywhere else.
Protein powder isn’t necessary.
Nor is your post workout meal.
Throughout human history far more jacked individuals have made do without than have made do with.
You want to drink some protein and nutrition post workout?
Save the money you’d spend on some near useless powder and go Rocky style. Crack roughly 6 eggs into your shaker cup, and have at it. No sugar,the same protein as 2 scoops of any powder, less expensive, and far more anabolic.
Now the squeamish among you may be thinking that’s gross.
You can blend up those eggs with more ingredients, or as I said go Rocky style. Rocky style has been known to harden you up. Ain’t that right Adrien?
Salmonella? That threat has been far overblown by fear mongering. Don’t be a scared little pussy.
If salmonella was to be contracted by drinking eggs I or most definitely a certain one of my lifting partners would’ve got it by now. That shit isn’t going to happen. Just like visits to snap city.
An aside: the eggs will be fine a while, even at room temperature.
Here’s how one should handle post workout meals: Bring food with you as eat it if you’re ravenous or you think it is a necessary part of the ability to drive home safely.
If neither of those stipulations are met it’ll be just fine to wait.
Hell eat if you simply feel like it.
Whatever you do don’t be one of those goofs that obsess more over getting their protein shake in, than getting weight on the bar.
Don’t get me started on preworkouts.(rant for another time)
Effort trumps all.
That is what is up.
I am out. Until tomorrow:
