EAS soy

doggiecool Posts: 43 Joined: 2002/08/07	2002/11/08, 06:48 PM I am 19 years old and have been working out heavily for about a year. I think I have reached platough because I have been lifting the same weight with little to no increase for roughly two months. Is there something I can do? What should I take? I do not take protein shakes and am going to start. What is the opinion of EAS soy? I don't know if I can take whey or not because I have a medical diet that does not permit me to eat wheat. Can I take whey or soy? Does it matter? Somebody please enlighten me!

How often do you change your routine? That could be one of the obstacles. I'm sure you will get some other good responses here.

Eggwhite proteins can go a long ways towards makeing any protein a "super" protein. The amino acid profile in eggwhite is second to none in BV. Adding eggwhite even to soy will help to make it a great muscle building source. I would investigate the whey though, it and the blends are usually superior for muscle building to soy. Soy has some significant health benefits, but as far as muscle building goes...

It is strictly a dairy product. It is the left overs of cheese (liquid) then processed. I suspect you have a gluten allergy? -------------- To change it, or to create it, simply train it!
