canucks#01fan Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 What do you guys do with your whey protein? I've just been mixing it in milk. always water. Milk contains casein protein which is very slow digesting. The reason why whey i so highly touted is because of its fast absorption rates. So you're getting the best of both worlds right? Wrong. Casein will slow down the absorbing rate of the whey defeating the purpose of having such a wonderful protein to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rampage Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 What do you guys do with your whey protein? I've just been mixing it in milk. Milk is going to slow down the absorption of your protein. I know at first it's going to taste nasty when you mix your protein in water but add a little bit of fruit in there and you should be fine with the switch.

That can be debated, if you wanted to you can use coconut milk, it's gluten free and casein free. Edited June 27, 2013 by Kent.S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard a lot of arguments both ways, but I use coconut milk for when I'm doing gains. I love it! That with a banana and peanut butter tastes so good with my chocolate whey.

PlayStation Posted June 27, 2013 Author Share Posted June 27, 2013 Any tips on building the upper part of your chest? My lower chest is okay but no luck with the upper part. Maybe its because I've only been lifting for 10 months (seriously for about 2-3 or so months) and so maybe I just have to keep my patience and let it slowly equal out. I do dumbell incline and flat press, flys on both incline decline as well. Bench press, dips, cable cross overs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnLocke Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Another question about whey protein. I've noticed that many of them have a high level of cholesterol in them (30-60mg). Is this unhealthy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm doing something from genetic war right now twice a week for six weeks for overall size. Flat BB, Incline BB, Decline DB, Decline BB. 12 sets total.

Is this unhealthy? as long as you live an active lifestyle and dont sit around watching tv all day, it shouldnt be too much of a concern. But if you really are worrying about it, you can try Dymatize ISO 100 which is cholesterol free. Im no doctor but im pretty sure (dont quote me on this) dietary cholesterol has little effect of blood cholesterol levels.

How doctors ever thought dietary cholesterol (read non blood stream ingested cholesterol) had a direct and measurable impact on blood cholesterol boggles my mind.

PlayStation Posted June 28, 2013 Author Share Posted June 28, 2013 (edited) i agree with HK but if you are getting enough nutrients then maybe it could be a problem with your routine. What is your chest day routine? I'm good with nutrients I believe (record it with myfitnesspal), I eat around the 3000-3500 calorie range. As for chest workout First is bench press for 4 sets. Second hop over and sometimes do flat bench dumbbell press. 3-4 sets Third Flat flies 3-4 sets Fourth incline dumbbell press 4 sets Fifth incline flies 4 sets Sixth is dips 4 sets Seventh I finish with cable cross overs for 4 sets... Then I finish up my back excercises and depending on how I feel I might go back to cable cross overs for another couple of sets. I'm doing something from genetic war right now twice a week for six weeks for overall size. Flat BB, Incline BB, Decline DB, Decline BB. 12 sets total. Various rep ranges Haven't done any decline stuff, may try it sometime during the summer, how do you like it?

Your routine looks good, the only thing i could see that MIGHT be a cause for your problek is that you could be tired by the time you get to your incline movements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May just take more time, or be genetics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't done any decline stuff, may try it sometime during the summer, how do you like it? Seems like overkill to me. The key to progress is NOT doing 17 different exercises, but progressively overloading (either more weight or more reps, or both) the big movements and doing 1-2 'filler' exercises. If you want to focus on upper chest, do two incline exercises first, (I'd do incline BB bench 4x6-8 followed by incline DB bench 4-5x10) then throw in some flat bench and dips. I wouldn't worry with decline if the goal is the upper chest because decline is primarily a target for the pectoralis major (lower 2/3rds) or the chest and has litle if any affect on the upper chest. Sidenote: How much pulling are you doing? You are doing a lot of pushing exercises which can cause some serious shoulder issues like your shoulders being pulled foward because the muscles of the back are overpowered by the muscles of the chest. I also can't imagine your back work is anything more than cursory if you're doing 7 push exercises first.
