Also there is nothing wrong with using protein shakes if you need them. You could actually be hampering your goals by not using a whey shake at least post work out. I think you need to rethink supplementation. Yes there is allot of junk out there thats just a cop out or snake oil. Protein supplements are not under the category of cop outs or snake oil junk. Protein is a much needed building block. Heck If I new then what I know now there is no telling where I would be at now lol. -------------- I am that which must be feared, worshipped and adored.

Also get your high quality carbs. You need them for recovery and growth just as much as you need protien. Follow some of the training plan and templates I have posted here. Check the Westside template out and follow it to a T. If you have questions then ask.
