Slightly off topic, but do any of you folks ingest whey protein shakes or use creatine monohydrate before workouts?
FWIW, my current diet consists of fruit, tuna, protein shakes and the occasional chicken breast.
- shard 17y agoI used to drink a whey protein shake with banana and peanut butter after workouts when I was in bulking phases, but now that I'm just maintaining, I haven't bothered. I used to do creatine drinks before workouts as well, I found that it made it easier to pump out that last few reps whereas before I did creatine my muscles would be screaming bloody murder.
- flooha 17y agoMaybe it's just me, but I tried creatine some years ago and without fail it always made me really angry.
- philwelch 17y agoIf you're using creatine to prep for weight training, that's a feature, not a bug. Being really angry helps weight training, or at least makes it feel more satisfying.

- helloworld 17y agoTuna seems to be high in mercury: http://www.nrdc.org/health/effects/mercury/tuna.asp http://www.nrdc.org/health/effects/mercury/tuna.asp You might want to substitute some lower-mercury alternatives: http://www.nrdc.org/health/effects/mercury/guide.asp http://www.nrdc.org/health/effects/mercury/guide.asp
- aswanson 17y agoGood lookout.
- tome 17y agoI've used both, and didn't notice any difference with either. That's not to say there was no difference though.
