Protein Shakes(Whey Protein) Workouts

I don't know why people are saying something like 1.5g/kg/d, that's way to less.
When I used to work out i had at least 3.5 g/kg/d in my diet about 2g/kg/d of carbs and about 2g/kg/d of fat(mostly trough nuts or oliveoil) and I got really good results.

For the shakes:
They are no miracle products, just use them when you really need them e.g. going on stage.
Spend the money on high quality food.
And yeah don't take roids. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9Bck11yIcU
@Dene when you're aiming for the top and don't wanna take steroids, then why aren't you aiming for the top in natural bodybuilding.

This was 5 years ago he looks bigger now. But this routine is way better than his last ones

I'm not working out currently, but this is what I used when I did. The normal "mix" is 3 scoops in water, but I usually only did 1.5 scoops in milk, and would mix in some peanut butter as well. You don't need the "full dose" unless you are seriously SERIOUSLY trying to buff up. I'm not an expert buy any means, but I saw really nice results from this.

We're going by grams per pound of bodyweight.

If we throw out the various concepts of morality, legality, etc etc etc... steroids make people bigger and stronger while sacrificing both physical and mental health. Of course this isn't black and white. It's not like you either use them or you don't, there are dosage considerations. If using them minimally, you will see some gain with very few side effects. Using large doses over time will produce drastic results, but I've seen first hand the damage they can do both psychically and psychologically. It is up to each person to decide if they are willing to deal with the side effects to gain strength and physical image. For me, however, the whole point of exercising, working out, etc is to benefit my health. Since steroids are a health risk, that kind of defeats the purpose. To each their own...
 
To be fair, a lot of the best natural bodybuilders aren't natural. They know how to avoid failing the drug tests by taking them at different times.
There are a million reasons why roids aren't worth it. I've seen plenty of threads where guys share their first hand experience of it. Like Carson said, it destroys you physically and mentally.

Why are you guys talking about Steroids ? The guy asked for Protein-shakes. Shakes are not steroids.

This. Protein shakes are definitely a good supplement to anyone even if you aren't working out. Our bodies need protein. Some of the statements I am reading here are kind of saying that I shouldn't even be taking a daily vitamin in the morning because food is better for me. But if you don't eat the right foods, then how are you supposed to get all the nutrients?
 
Speak to a trainer, getting nutritional advice from the Internet is not the correct way to go.
 
If you're getting enough protein from your normal diet, you won't need a supplement. Lean meats (especially poultry), fish, eggs, and dairy are good sources of protein. Wolfram Alpha has a nice nutritional facts calculator that can help you estimate your protein intake. If you're doing a lot of strength training, you'll want to aim for 1-1.5g protein per pound of bodyweight per day.

My favorite brand of whey supplement is ON Gold Standard. It has a good amount of protein per serving, actually tastes decent, and is a reasonable price on Amazon, though it's often on sale at GNC as well.

As for workout advice, I've had good results with Starting Strength.

Last year, I embarked on another muscle building workout, which isn't related to cubing and anything about puzzles actually but I just though it would be great.

My regular workout drink would be soya milk with a scoop of whey protein chocolate powder in it.

Quite surprisingly, it was really an enjoyable drink but that is almost automatic with the chocolate flavor added to the milk.

Unfortunately not necessarily true. I would put myself out there and claim that the majority of trainers out there don't have any qualifications in nutrition.

He is better off speaking to a trainer instead of getting advice from people on the Internet who do not know much about him. I agree 100% with you that not every trainer is certified when it comes to nutrition however, there are plenty out there who are and can lead him correctly VS him going off of people's insights on a forum. Here people will give advice that may work for them however, if the OP is serious, he will work with someone to tailor a program based on his body type.

To the OP, if you are new to this speak to trainers and have them list their credentials and also references. If you are simply looking to add protein to your workout, you can follow some basic guidelines and note your progress however, if you want to save time/money you are better off working with a trainer who is certified in nutrition.

Keep in mind when it comes to weight training, nutrition is paramount when it comes to "good" VS "average" results.
 
Man cmon you're only 15 don't worry about the proteins, do it because of your posture and lifestyle!!
Also do another sport such as soccer or parkour.
I have not read the other pages, sorry if I have repeated something.

Really this is the answer I would agree with most. Having trained in multiple sports in amateur and professional levels (ISKA Kickboxing, USAC cycling "CAT II/Pro II, CCS AM - points to ASRA/AMA pro) I can tell you first hand not simply "opinion" that a solid program, hard work, and a good diet will bring you the results. Supplements such as protein can help however, they are not "required". That being said, having trained and helped train others I would tell you that if you are going to pursue anything "serious" you are better off working with someone who is qualified who can help you achieve your goals by working with you. There are good resources on the Internet however, in order to use them properly you really need to know what you are doing otherwise, you could risk injury or end up wasting your time. Either way, good luck and at a minimum take the advice and do your own research before acting on the advice.

Lastly, I would caution with the "supplement" route because I have known a lot of people who start out with over the counter and move into steroids. I have seen some scary events which were due to steroid use and trust me when I say that you will be better off avoiding them.

Slippery slope much?
 
I used that stuff over the duration of about 2 months. All it did for me was give me the sh*ts. Might have wanted to reduce my glutamine intake back then to compensate the added protienes come to think...oh well...live and learn. Hooray for dehydration!
 
Good form and a lot of protein shakes will get you a long way. YouTube will give you many answers as well.
You don't need to talk with a pt. But you have to be sceptical about things you hear and see.
