Title: Do Protein Shakes work for you? (Working Out)
Post by: killers2 on May 23, 2015, 04:29:14 pm: I just got seriously back into working out multiple times a week. I was just wondering what your opinion/personal experience is with protein shakes? Is their a way to maximize their effectiveness before or after a workout? thank you for your time! 8) :peace: p.S. the one I'm using is GNC Cookies and Cream lean shake!

I haven't tried them but my sister and brother drink them after going to the gym.

Post by: sherryfan on September 20, 2015, 03:22:06 pm: I prefer energy drink before works out. I got a lot of protein from food already, only once a while I feel I need it.

Post by: vg7405 on September 29, 2015, 01:09:18 am: I need to resume my work-out regimen. I am beginning to get lazy and fall back into my former(destructive) eating habits. As for protein shakes, I am not really a huge fan about them, especially since some of them contain some harmful substances (such as creatine).

Post by: Kimdud22 on November 04, 2015, 07:08:08 pm: I think they do help; however, once you stop them make sure you stick with a good diet and exercise regimen because I did not lost 12 pounds and gained it all back.
