How is the new year exercise going? What are you doing to move every day?
Exercising has been awesome this year! I have been working out consistently for the last 3 years so it hasn't been too much of a struggle to keep with it. Still trying to reach my goal weight of between 190-195 (not dropping weight, but gaining), and then tone down to around 185 or so. I think I'm at 180 right now so I have a ways to go yet. But just a few years ago I was at 150 (yeah, I was super skinny), so I think I'm doing just fine!
Stay in the 4 rep range if you want to gain weight.
My body responds best to 6-8 reps and a weight gaining+protein shake. I don't know if I'm ready to give that another go yet though. Maybe in a couple months. It's hard to drink that chocolate snot 3x/day every day. Plus it gets expensive.
Taking protein for muscle growth is a myth.
Absolutely untrue. I would like to see studies that refute this. Protein alone will not do the job as effectively as protein containing the vital amino acids it takes to promote muscle growth. Also, it depends on the type of protein that is taken. I take a whey protein which has a biological value and utilization (among all other proteins) of 100%.
The amount of protein absorbed based on the type of protein however, is up for debate because we all digest food a little differently as well having variances in how effectively we absorb nutrients.
Protein is the building block of muscle growth so saying taking a supplemental building block for muscle growth is a myth is somewhat absurd. Please explain.
I take my dogs outside for their walks. But when it gets nicer(if it ever does) I'm going to go for walks. Walking helps lose weight.
A person could grow muscle without eating any meat, or taking any protein shakes. I've done it, and had results. If protein really helped with muscle growth like people think, then explain the muscle of a rhino or gorilla. They don't eat meat.
Protein shakes are bad for you. The only supplement that you can legally buy that will actually have an effect on your muscles is monohydrate creatine. But I would stay away from all processed foods and supplements, because you can get the same results, or better without it.

Are these bad for you??

Ew no I just use them as meal replacement sometimes. But that stinks if they are bad for me.I think if a person is eating a balanced diet, they will get all the protein they need. Vegetables even have protein in it.
Are you trying to bulk up?
My doberman loves to run with me and bonus-- no one can kidnap me ;-)
Well if you had cool running shoes like me then anything could happen...they're always after my Hokas.I love dobermans and rotts. I should get one too so I don't have to worry about being kidnapped.
