Correct! Like root said taken in the right amounts and with a balanced plan they assist in building muscle, increasing stamina and speeding recovery.

When you say build muscle are saying they just become big or does it really make you strong?

It really assists in all these things, its not the main factor. So strength vs size will also depend a lot on what type of work-outs you are doing and what type of diet plan you are following. It really is an all inclusive sort of thing.

Ok my real question is will i have a body like sean sherk if i take continues amounts of protein shakes.

Yes if you balance out your diet, increase cardio and strength conditioning, hit the gym damn near daily and take the right amount of vitamins and supplements.

mobb13 · 10-10-2008, 01:54 AM

And how long do you say i need to do this?

LasciviousXXX · 10-10-2008, 01:58 AM

Well it depends. How much do you weigh now? What type of body style do you have? What do you currently eat for most meals? What's your workout routine look like?

My best friend is a personal trainer so when I was trying to get in shape he went over all my info with me and helped lay out a good plan for my goal

Protein shakes are a wonderful compliment to a healthy diet. An excellent mixture is:

16 ounces of water
1 cup of frozen fruit of your choice (berries are best)
1 tablespoon of flaxseed (Grind whole flaxseeds in a coffee grinder to a fine powder before putting in blender)
one to one and a half scoops of protein powder (depending on how much protein you want.)

If you want to build lean muscle tissue and burn fat it is best to have six small balanced meals a day. It is hard to have 6 food meals a day.
