First of, I eat a balanced diet, carbs
and proteins, and mostly quality foods.
In the shape of my life and very happy with
my surfing.
Recently i've been drinking a protein
shake before my session and it really helps me keeping my energy
level up.
I know usually people say mixed nuts is
the way to go cause it slowly releases crabs the body needs to
perform when being active.
But for me nothing beats a protein
shake and I can really notice the difference. I usually do short 1
hour sessions and I am able to keep moving through out my session an
out paddle those annoying wave hogs … :)
You guys use them?
Man... that reminds me that I need to get back to mixing in a Myoplex shake way more often. I'm trying to get into "winter shape" before we get any more good swells. Last weekend really re-emphasizerd to me that I need to drop some ell-bees fast. Been jumping rope, hitting the heavy bag, doing plyometrics, and some freeweights like crazy the past week Mixing in some stretching as well. I really gotta get a pull up bar soon.
So man... about those crabs that are released by eating nuts? I think that sounds like a very serious personal problem and maybe the forum isnt a place that you want to discuss this? 
lol.....
What brand protein shake?
I do the specialized super absorbing protein BS after I surf to help my muscles recover... but i'll usually have a hard boiled egg or two before along with some fruit or breakfast bar.
This is the specialized patent pending BS I often eat before I surf:
Access bars and drinks include the first and only patented fat
conversion formula that delivers enhanced workouts to help burn body
fat.
Why Is That Important?
You can take Access on an empty stomach 15 minutes before exercising to help:
- Naturally block the energy-sapping effects of adenosine
- Muscles use less sugar and more stored fat for energy
- Give you endurance with less fatigue and soreness
- Turn fat into fuel
The patented technology in Access was developed by Larry Wang, Ph.D., professor emeritus at the University of Alberta and world-renowned authority on fat metabolism. He discovered that during exercise the body produces adenosine, which slows fat burning and promotes the fatigue, muscle burn, and soreness associated with lactic acid buildup. Access helps block adenosine so you can more easily convert fat into fuel.
Access has been successfully used by a number of world-class athletes including Tammy Van Wisse, record-breaking marathon swimmer.
This is what I often will eat after:
ProFlex bars and shakes helps you build muscle, recover quickly, and
absorb the nutrients with a proprietary blend of 4 proteins, 3
antioxidants, 2 enzymes, and fiber.
Why Is That Important?
Only ProFlex helps you BUILD muscle with a proprietary blend of four
diverse proteins that provide the essential amino acids your body needs
to build lean muscle. ProFlex helps you RECOVER with a unique mix of
vitamins C and E, plus lipoic acid for powerful antioxidant protection.
ProFlex helps your body ABSORB the protein with a special blend of two
plant-based enzymes that help break down the protein quickly. Plus,
ProFlex also includes fiber to aid digestive comfort.
It Works Because…
Protein is the basic building block of all muscle. It is essential for
the proper growth and maintenance of everything from muscles and skin
to hair and fingernails. Everyone concerned about wellness needs to be
aware of his or her protein intake. ProFlex delivers the diverse blend
of protein your muscles need every day—all without the fat and
cholesterol found in many typical foods used as protein sources.
Whatever helps you boost your energy levels that isn't filled with a bunch of caffeine is probably good, but I'd definitely shop around and try different brands and different kinds of protein to see what works best.
Personally I wouldn't drink too many of those crazy muscle building shakes, either.. I mean, like, you should probably only have 3 or 4 shakes per week max..but there are probably other brands or other types of protein that might be safer to consume every day, perhaps a hemp protein shake.
yeah
i like MRM's natural whey the best
hormone free
dutch chocolate coz that's where i'm from.
sometimes i mix it half / half with Tj's hemp protein.
Yum. Sounds good to me.
How do you mix the powder, shake, stir or blend? Do you mix it in with water or milk?
