We all know that exception to the rule, that one little guy that is strong as an ox, but really this is the exception rather than the norm. -------------- Baseball is the only field of endeavor where a man can succeed three times out of ten and be considered a good performer

Increased muscle mass increases leverage as well. ============ Quoting from bb1fit: Well, training for strength and power is typically the same as mass.

Let me restate that ALL mass gains are not unwelcome, but I'm not looking to increase my weight class, alright? I might not be maximizing my potential from a strongman, or even powerlifter point of view, but why would I care? Yeah, the little guy usually isn't as strong as an ox, at least on an absolute scale, but the smalller athletes are usually lifting more per pound of bodyweight. Have you ever seen a 250lb+ guy do a one armed pull-up? So let's just say, for the sake of argument, that there was some magical training method, in some far off, fairytale land, that could make you stronger without making you look like a frog. My original question wasn't about me specifically anyways; I just wanted to know what type of nutrition is usually needed immediately after a workout. Perhaps I was under the impression that it was more or less universal.

I for one am just like you I train to get stronger but don't eat to gain massive gains but I do gain and at some point will have to eat more or I'll plateau! I have 2 PWO Shakes and they are for fast recovery! Immediately after I stop lifting I taken in Some Waxy Maze Strarch in water and with added BCAA's, 20 to 30 minutes later I have Shake of 1.5 scoops of Whey Isolated Cold Filtration with add Beta Alanine. You can learn about this type of PWO at trueprotein.com in the forums. -------------- Knock-Um Down & Keep-Um Down!

It always either becomes a series of questions, or a debate about how plausible it is. As far as I understand, from research and personal experience, high intensity, low volume training, seems to bring about the results I'm looking for. I don't understand why my goals are so "out there", but apparently they're rather eccentric. Anyways, despite that outlash, I do appreciate the input and I apologize for being a prick. ============ Quoting from bb1fit: Sorry for trying to answer your question.

I was hoping that I could get all that I needed at a grocery store; this may be a lot more complicated then I first expected.

My pwo shake is 1 scoop whey and 2 tbsp heavy cream, an hour later I have a small meal of protein and some fast absorbing carbs.
