One of the recommendations I was given during the PT consultation was that I should get some extra protein into my system directly after my workouts. It doesn’t come as news to me that the body needs protein to build muscle and that the body has an extra hunger for protein directly after a workout. However my real post workout meal usually comes one to two hours after my workouts, which is maybe a bit too late. Seeing that I am having trouble gaining weight, I figured I’d try out this protein powder stuff.

I ordered 5 kg of Whey-80 from Gymgrossisten and I received it in the mail today. It’s funny how when you specifically order 5 kg of something, and once you receive the parcel and you go to pick it up, you think to yourself: “Wow this weighs a ton, this must be like… five kilograms!” followed by my inner voice replying: “Well, duh! What did you expect?”. Happens to me every time.

It tastes horrible, but who cares what it tastes like. Anyway, I better get used to it, I’m stuck with this now for the next 4-5 months at the very least. :P

She also recommended Creatine, but I noticed somewhere on the product pages a warning that Creatine should be avoided when drinking coffee, so that’s an instant no-buy for me.
