Recovery Shakes

[Wyatt Earp]

haha, true Dangle rest is best. I've searched high and low but nobody seems to sell it in tablet form. Being overtrained really sucks. I can feel it coming on at the moment.

FIT Gluta-Grow.

Found that the Pure Whey protein powder also did not agree with me, glad I am off that now,

 

 

 

Aaaah another lactose intolerant member of the population.

Coffee Steri Stumpie. Hopefully they sell it in bulk at Makro yumm...

 

If you like your steri's and are near Kyalami then you can buy it at the parmalat factory outlet

Testing.. testing... 1 2 3... Ok the mic is on.

MDW the floor is yours... I wait expectantly...

Theoretically, shouldn't pure whey isolate be lactose-free?

Recovery shakes are NOT a myth! I tremble like a sh1tting dog for hours after a race

USN diet fuel seem to have all the right stuff in it.

Personally I think this is an old wive's tail. How much glutamine is in a steri-stumpie? Are you telling me there are 0 benefits to taking glutamine for recovery, along with multi-vitamins, 10% protein and branch chain amino acids? When you can prove to me that these do nothing for me then I will stop buying recovery drinks. Cadence Revive is my drink of choice at the moment and I suspect that either Swart or Noakes had a hand in designing it, so one of them is definitely not convinced of the milo-is-best nonsense.

I will give this a go. Googled it, sommer looks like it can work

I'm being lazy, but can somebody do a nice table comparison between all the ingredients of (1) low-fat chocolate milk (2) recovery drink X, Y and/or Z (3) Energade (4) chicken etc. etc.?

 

And not only the big three, namely carbs, proteins and fats, but e.g. the proteins broken up further into caseins and all the dozens of other types of proteins beside the caseins.

 

That would give us more insight. I just don't have the time to do it now.

No wonder your lazy, that is a "moerse" exercise

I know! But that would surely squash a lot of myths and opinions on this topic. We'll probably see chocolate milk and recovery drink having mostly the same ingredients (e.g. main ingredient in recovery drink is milk or milk proteins!).

 

You put up your hand... we'll expect results next week - thanks

What to take if you cannot handle the lactose in milk, because i see most of the recommendations suggested all mix with milk?

Ha, I get that there are recovery benefits to drinking milk, and the sugar helps to replenish lost carbs.

 

I just think there have to be better formulas out there than the accidental benefits of drinking a steri stumpie.

 

Basically I'm looking to back the most likely formula and to my mind it's the one put together by the sports scientists, not the product department at Nestle. Seems to me the chocolate milk companies only want to make a tasty beverage - one aimed at the masses, full of tons of sugar and preservatives, cheap milk solids and lord knows what else.

 

If my dietician told me to drink that I'd have to think twice about paying her for that advice...
