Try the Lance Bass Protein Shake. A couple "shakes" will give ya all of the protein you'll need.

[TROLL]

I got Optimum Nutrition Whey Protein after asking around a good bit and having it recommended for a no frills protein that just has what it needs to get the job done. I rolled the dice on Chocolate Mint and its not bad. It smells just like Andes mints, totally delicious. However it tastes like... whey protein.

Stay AWAY FROM MUSCLE MILK!!!!
Muscle Milk contains the potentially dangerous chemical glycocyamine, which can lead to cardiovascular diesease. Tastes good bud real bad for you, lotta calories, but prohormones are a heck of alot safer to take than this crap(not promoting them tho).
If you want to bulk up, do a bulking phase, and during this time cut back on the dancing a bit. Ideally you should have an 8 hour break between cardio and strength training, and really, no more than an hour at a time during strength training, because your body will not be able to recover quite as good, as if you were doing one or the other.
I highly reccomend looking at AST's MAXOT training program, its free, and no b/s. You strength goes up insane amounts if you follow this program to a "T"!
I've been lifting on and off for 4 years, and the gains you make are pretty sweet. Just quick personal note, i started with 55db's for my bench 6 months ago, and was hitting the 95's for 3 sets of 6 when i stopped lifting two months ago. I had previously only been hitting 70's as a max rep a few years ago.
For protein, i'd reccomend optimum nutritions 100% whey, chocolate mint is good, as is the double chocolate. whey protein is a "quick" protein, best taken within 45 minutes of a solid workout.
Casein protein is protein found in milk products and is a "long term" protein(distributed over a period of several hours). I'd reccomend cottage cheese, eaten with some fruit, the combo of natural fiber, non-processed protein, and natural sugars are ten times better than any powder you cna buy. And a heck of alot cheaper too. Stick with atural proteins when ever you can; eggs, chicken, pork, tuna fish, turkey. Stay away from processed meats, like ham, deli meats, and the like. Lotta fresh fruits and veggies as well.
I dunno if i can post the link to the maxot, just do a search for "MAXOT pdf" on google.
On the NOX, NOexplode products, not worth the hype. Good for someone who has never picked up a weight before, but they can have some funny side effects.

I take 2 scoops with 2% milk in a shaker, and sometimes add some peanut butter.

Optium 100% Whey ftmfw. There is nothing better, best one out there and can't beat it for the price. This site has anything you might want to know about supplements too. I have been using it for over a year in which time i have gone up about 7 pounds and no side effects or anything to work about. STAY AWAY FROM MUSCLE MILK!

[roccobladr]

Optimum Nutriont (ON) 100% was really good. i used to get extreme milk chocolate i think it was called. one of the best tasting ive ever had. its a little more epensive though and i switched to the GNC chocolate caramel when it was on sale.

[enigma]

People need to read up on a supplement before they try it, or promote it.

[CleanNeon98]

Ive been using designer whey for some time now and I like it..muscle milk sure tastes better, and a few of my friends live by it so thats why I threw it in there.

anyone ever take weight gainer? i bought it and it said 2200 calories per serving, sweet?

wrong, servings per container 5, total weight of container, 6 pounds! mixed almost a pound of powder into 16 ounces of milk, blended it for a good 10 minutes, it was like drinking wet sand and thats not even an exageration

Men's Health magazine usually has one or two.
I'll look for one.....


edit: This is a post-work out shake

Chocolate Almond Recovery Shake

The carbs in this shake trigger a hormonal surge that drives
nutrients into your muscle cells speeding their growth.
They also replenish engery stores, ensuring you'll perform your
best at your next work out.


1/2 cup milk
1 Tbsp instant coffee
10 unsalted almonds
1 Tbsp lecithin granules
2 packets (2 g) stevia or other sugar alternative
1 cup crushed ice or 6-8 ice cubes
2 level scoops chocolate whey protein powder

How to make:

Pull all of the ingredients except the ice and the protein powder
into a blender. Blend on high until fully mixed. With the blender on
medium, add the ice and the protein powder.
Increase the speed to high and blend until smooth.
Makes 1 serving.

Per serving:
393 calories
47g protein
24g carbohydrates
10g fat (1.5g unsaturated)
2g fiber
55mg sodium

I'm going to have to vote against anyone taking this as a "post-work out" shake. I'd add more high glycemic carbs to help with protein absorption. and cut out the slow-digesting protein (ones found in milk). and cut out the fats (found in the almonds and milk, if it's anything beside nonfat) which will cause a slow down in digestion.

most of those "weight gainers" are buckets of low quality protein and high glycemic carbs. while it's good for a post-work out shake, it's hardly a sound option to replace a meal with.

thats what they called for, if i actually had to liquidfy that **** id need a half gallon, and theres no way i could drink a half gallon a milk even without powder.

for 2200 calories it would be easier to each 4 big macs or something

[igo4bmx]

i just blend in dead baby fetuses and chill it in ice

Anyway, I'm drinking my ON 100% whey right now. I'm pissed that i can't find Rocky Road anymore (discontinued i guess), now I just get the regular chocolate (bland). However, I never did notice a difference between drinking my protein shakes and not drinking them. I guess I get enough protein through my diet where I just **** out the extra anyway.

NO Xplode never helped me either, that and the stuff is like drinking acid straight up. ****'s 4x worse than your average energy drink, with no results.

I use mostly ON stuff. 1 1/2 cups of milk, 2 scoops whey, banana, peanut butter, some honey, good ****. It's also a good idea to eat a lot of glycose after a hard workout, you can do sucrose (table sugar) as well but you'll need considerably more for the body to get the same results out of it.
