Not Growing Quickly Enough? That’s What Protein Shakes Are For
I’m not someone who’s known for my patience, so perhaps I have unrealistic expectations of looking like Leonidas a few months after joining a gym and lifting a couple of times a week, but even so, I really feel like I should be getting quicker gains. I reckon it’s got something to do with my stupidly fast metabolism, so I’ve decided to counter that with some protein shakes.
I was in two minds about starting a course of these things – there are always the horror stories that happened to a friend of a friend of a friend, they’re not exactly cheap and there’s always the concern that they just won’t work. Protein shakes have always been something that I was a little wary of, plus I wasn’t quite sure if I was ‘cheating’. I want the results, but I don’t want to get them via nefarious means.
Not quite how I want to look.
The thing was, exercise and healthy eating just wasn’t getting me any gains. I was getting stronger, but no bigger, so I decided that protein shakes were the way to go.
I’ve had nicer tasting drinks, but I do seem to be putting on some muscle by taking these a couple of times a day. All told it seems to be doing the job, so I’ve made worse investments.
