dude your smoking some weed? lol how do you know they dont work? I have put on muscle with protien powders! and countless of millions of other people have too....

they do work bro your living in the dark ages.

You gained weight, but how sure are you that that's muscle?

I've observed many people in many gyms, and I've also read tons of testimonials from people stating that they've ingested gallons of protein supplements over the years. Yes, they gained weight, but their strength levels and the weight that they've been lifting haven't improved a bit in ten years! Imagine bench pressing 80 lbs. and still lifting that poundage a decade from now. These are your so-called protein supplement takers.

They gained weight all right, but do you think the weight that they added to their frame was muscle. Based on their performance, do you think that's muscle?

And using your own words, "countless of millions of other people" have gained muscle using protein supplements? First of all, where did you get your statistics? Any claim or assertion that cannot be backed-up by statistics is a big lie. Okay, maybe you can give me some stats, but how sure are you that they come from a reliable source. Chances are, these stats would come again from the protein supplement manufacturers themselves, just to hype up their very own business!

In my own training, I was able to gain 15 pounds of bodyweight in just six weeks. I was able to add 40 lbs. to my squat and 50 lbs. to my deadlifts, and I was able to accomplish these things without using protein supplements. What a trainee needs is the proper application of training principles, enough rest and recuperation, and a nutritious well-balanced diet.

I use some Whey weight gainer 1850 stuff or something like that. It works but it's just a real task busting out the blender every night. I did that chit for 2 months and gained some lbs.

here is a solid diet for protein with minimal supplements:
Breakfast
Quaker Oats Oatmeal (Instant or Raw Oats) - minimum 10g protein
Milk to make the Oatmeal with - minimum 18g protein

Lunch
2 chicken sandwhiches (grilled or fried) - 50g protein
vegetables (broccoli/other greens) - 2g protein
egg whites (optional) - minimum 10g protein

Dinner
Grilled Chicken Breasts/Turkey/Lean Beef - minimum 30g protein
Vegetables - 2g protein
Fruit - No protein but essential for good diet
Glass of milk - minimum 10g protein

Post workout
ONStar Gold Whey Protein Powder - minimum 24g protein
Milk to be used with shake - minimum 18g protein

At a MINIMUM, this diet will give you 174g protein in a day. You can eat more or less of some of the optional stuff (milk, eggs, meat) to increase or decrease the protein levels. This diet is also calorie conscious and gets a good supply of fruits and vegetables. I always use skim milk and try to get 1.5g protein per lb. bodyweight for a good bulk program. They recommend 2g carbohydrates for every lb bodyweight but I think that can be excessive..i dont really want to put on too much fat.
Hope this is a good example, I was just trying to show that you can get a good protein supply without overbusting on supplements and it shouldnt be too expensive, Tuna is a great substitute for any of these items, unfortunately i am allergic to tuna so it isnt anywhere in my diet.

This just shows you that a great well-planned diet will give you the optimum amount of protein that you need daily.

So you put on 8 pounds of muscle, hmmm...

How sure are you that your gains were produced by your beloved protein supplement? I've known several weightlifters who were able to gain more muscle than you and they never touched a protein supplement before. They gained because of the proper application of the training principles, adequate recovery and recuperation, and good sound nutrition.
