My beginner workout routine good? - I started lifting weights about a month ago, and I have asked for advice from my friends and I wanted to know if what I am doing is correct. A typical week at the gym looks like this: (a rep about equal to 10 tries) Monday: 10 min run to warm up, 3..

Post subject: Newbie fitness/protein shake question
Archived from groups: misc>fitness>weights (more info?)

Sorry if this is the wrong forum to post this. I'm a 37 year old
male, 5' 10" and about 200lbs...I'm a life long couch potato with
pretty much no muscle. Been using free weights and the treadmill for
the past 2 weeks...alternating days with one day a week totally off.
I've changed my diet as well...no more soda (all water), wheat bread
instead of white, less fatty foods...etc. but I admittedly don't count
calories and am probably not getting enough protein in a day. I've
lost about 9 lbs in the past 2 weeks so I'm happy so far. My goal is
two fold...I'd like to gain some muscle mass (not alot...I guess a
"normal" amount) and lose the gut. So, my question is if protein
shakes are a good idea. I've read about the increase in protein
helping muscle growth but am concerned it'll stunt my efforts to get
rid of my gut. In my situation, any advice? If the shakes are a good
idea, how often? Thanks in advance.

I'd nix the shakes, fwiw.

Or:

1. Eat 1,500 calories a day.
2. Utilize superhydration.
3. Incorporate high-intensity exercise three times per week.

See Ellington Darden's _The New High Intensity Training_ for details.

If you had the mental capacity to understand all the other studies
cited above, you might experience a revelation. Lacking that, I guess
you'll just have to flounder in your own ignorance.

At least you have a lot of practice in that regard.

It makes perfect /a priori/ sense if you understand the physiology of
muscle protein synthesis. It simply conflicts with your chatty
phonetic blatherings. Go play with your HollowBar.

Quickly absorbed protein (whey) and simple sugars (preferably high in
glucose) immediately before, during, and immediately after training
are beneficial. The rest of the time, they really aren't any more
beneficial than any other dietary protein and carbohydrates, and they
may just constitute unnecessary additional calories if they are dumped
on top of an already eucaloric diet.

====================

I notice your whey/gluc/*creatine* site is not on that list.....

OK, let's assume that the above cites support your thesis.

How does this concept make a priori sense?
Do you have links to the arts/abstracts?

It's HoloBarre. Would you like to be a beta-tester?

Insulin ... leucine ... mammalian target of rapamycin. Magic words.

The abstracts can be found on PubMed. The articles might be found at
your local university library. Since you live in one of the largest
cities in the world, I assume you can access to them somewhere. If
they're not in walking distance, you may want to call a taxi.

There's a HollowBar in my gym. I use it for weighted chin-ups. Its
useful purposes are otherwise pretty limited.

Hmmmmm......

Cribb PJ, Hayes A. Effects of supplement timing and resistance exercise
on skeletal muscle hypertrophy. Med Sci Sports Exerc. 2006
Nov;38(11):1918-25.

This study was funded by AST Sports Science, a supplement company.

AND, it WAS your whey/glucose/***creatine*** study, that you embarrassed
yourself with earlier.

AND, it is a single-, not double-blind study.

And.... and.... and..... I haven't even READ IT yet.
Course, then, neither, likely, have you.
Course, not that that would make much of a difference.

Ahm thinkin, mebbe you cain't even score in a women's detention center, w/
$$, chocolate, and ciggies....

This is not much of an explanation--it's the bandying about of words.
If you don't want to explain it to me, then how bout to the OP, or others?

Ingestion of casein and whey proteins result in muscle anabolism after
resistance exercise. Med Sci Sports Exerc. 2004 Dec;36(12):2073-81.

Lessee if I got this right:
The abstract below shows that amino acids are absorbed, presumably by
muscle, after you exercise, from food eaten after you exercise.
wow.....
So lessee, ahm just guesssin here, but I guess that means that if you
exercise, lessee, mebbe you should EAT??? !!!!

And, if I understand the protocol correctly (femoral blood analysis), one
can't even be really sure WHAT accounted for the difference in aa balance.
Amino acids could have been used elsewhere, as well. You'd have to
radio-label everything, and assay *multiple* tissues to say what went where,
and when.

Wonder who funded this study?
================
Purpose: Determination of the anabolic response to exercise and nutrition is
important for individuals who may benefit from increased muscle mass. Intake
of free amino acids after resistance exercise stimulates net muscle protein
synthesis. The response of muscle protein balance to intact protein
ingestion after exercise has not been studied. This study was designed to
examine the acute response of muscle protein balance to ingestion of two
different intact proteins after resistance exercise.
Methods: Healthy volunteers were randomly assigned to one of three groups.
Each group consumed one of three drinks: placebo (PL; N = 7), 20 g of casein
(CS; N = 7), or whey proteins (WH; N = 9). Volunteers consumed the drink 1 h
after the conclusion of a leg extension exercise bout. Leucine and
phenylalanine concentrations were measured in femoral arteriovenous samples
to determine balance across the leg.

Results: Arterial amino acid concentrations were elevated by protein
ingestion, but the pattern of appearance was different for CS and WH. Net
amino acid balance switched from negative to positive after ingestion of
both proteins. Peak leucine net balance over time was greater for WH (347
+/- 50 nmol[middle dot]min-1[middle dot]100 mL-1 leg) than CS (133 +/- 45
nmol[middle dot]min-1[middle dot]100 mL-1 leg), but peak phenylalanine
balance was similar for CS and WH. Ingestion of both CS and WH stimulated a
significantly larger net phenylalanine uptake after resistance exercise,
compared with the PL (PL -5 +/- 15 mg, CS 84 +/- 10 mg, WH 62 +/- 18 mg).
Amino acid uptake relative to amount ingested was similar for both CS and WH
(~10-15%).

Conclusions: Acute ingestion of both WH and CS after exercise resulted in
similar increases in muscle protein net balance, resulting in net muscle
protein synthesis despite different patterns of blood amino acid responses.

PubMed don't seem to have any of these journals. I got the Med Sci Sports
Ex from the ms-se.com website.

Still waiting for *explanations*, jmw.

If you had the mental capacity to understand all the other studies
cited above, you might experience a revelation. Lacking that, I guess
you'll just have to flounder in your own ignorance.

At least you have a lot of practice in that regard.

It makes perfect /a priori/ sense if you understand the physiology of
muscle protein synthesis. It simply conflicts with your chatty
phonetic blatherings. Go play with your HollowBar.

I take it everyday for breakfast.

You only need supplements to...supplement your diet !!!

How big are the scoops? Define "normal size"!

Er, you're not wanting to conserve calories, you're wanting to lose them.

Not protein supplements, but protein intake.

My advise based on personal experience [sorry PV, no cites just a good
muscular physique] is to shoot for the classis 1g of protein per pound of
body weight per day with approx. 30-50g of this coming post workout.

You mean "abstracts"? If so, then you're wrong.

All you got was the abstract. Obtaining and reading the articles
requires work.

>Still waiting for *explanations*, jmw.

Learning muscle physiology also requires work. I don't intend to
teach you.

When others ask, I'll explain to them. I'm not going to teach someone
who pretends that he already knows everything.

I use two scoops and consume it *during* training. The additional
calories are pretty modest. The rest of the time, my protein
consumption comes from common foods, which includes a fairly
substantial amount of low-fat cottage cheese (casein).

Quite the contrary--which is why I ask questions.
Didn't say nutrient timing was bullshit--I said it didn't make a priori
sense, posted my reasoning, and waited for yours.
Looks like I'll be waiting for a long time, dudnit?

And just what part of "supplement company funding supplement research" don't
you understand?
What part of whey/gluc/creatine being largely irrelevant to whey/gluc timing
don't you understand?
I can't believe you cited that article *again*!!

it's *imaginary toys*.
