do protein shakes or any of those muscle drinks/powders help you get bigger?
Question:
Answers:
i wouldn't recommend them mate. if you`ve only been training for 6 months and you said you are noticing a change don't bother.
seriously, i started training about 3 years ago n when i started out i was an athletic build, very toned with a nice physique, but i wanted to be bigger! i don't know if that was because the gym i went to was full of massive men lifting huge amounts of weights.
so i started taking something called CREATINE. you can get it in different forms like powder,shakes etc. i took the tablets, they were these big bullet shaped tablets that i had to take b4 training and just after 2.
i bulked up so quick people thought i was on steroids! but then i went on holiday and when i came back i took a bit of a break from the gym and all my hard work was just disappearing before my eyes. all the muscle id built up had gone soft and turned to fat.
i have only just got my body shape back to how it used to be. athletic and toned! yes I've got bigger muscles than i used to have but i wish i never had taken the supplements. once you stop taking them your body changes.
the best advise is to stick at what your doing without the aid of any supplements. banana`s are good as well as fish, good healthy protein! ...sorry if I've bored you

yeah they should work if you are doing the work and breaking down tissue. Be aware that muscle grows during rest periods not when it is being used so dont forget to rest a muscle group for a day after use. Make sure you have enough carbos too, need lots of food to grow not just protien if you are starving you will not grow.
If I were you, I would perhaps try to develop a real personality rather than hide behind a screen!!
you should do free weightsbecasue machine weight dont work aswell and you should be eating the same meals everyday at teh same time.and you should go to the gym and work out for the same amount of time.then drink a proten shake becasue it will heal your ripped muscles.and when you rest your muscles get bigger after a few months,
the drinks help bulk up your muscles if you are also doing weights
Protein and high-carb drink can help. There is no mystery to them and they are not a "magic bullet" but they can provide you with additional nutrients to assist in recovery and growth.
The best things to do (according to the latest sports nutrition info) is to:
1> consume a whey protein shake 45 minute BEFORE you train. Post workout Amino acid uptake by the muscles is twice as high if you consume whey protein before your workout compared to consuming it after your workout. A serving of 20 grams should be good enough.

2> consuming a drink with high-glycemic carbs (white pasta, white rice, white potatoes...) after your workout is important to replenish the muscle gycogen that you just used. You body can store more carb after a workout than it could before the workout. So, you should be able to perform better during your next workout session.
3> consume a source of lean protein after your workout to help rebuild your muscles.
4> consume a source of lean protein prior to going to bed to preserve your muscles during the night. A protein shake with a Casien-based protein is ideal because it clups when it reaches your stomache and takes longer to digest so your body will have a longer lasting supply of amino acids during the night.

I am no fan of creatine, but every single bit of research shows that creatine does help build muscle. The most recent research shows that it actually promotes the use and development of satellite cells - extra cells that just sit around near your muscle to replace those muscle cells that have been damaged beyond repair. What ever you do, do not waste your money on a liquid creatine product - if there are any still on the market.
i think so, your body needs the protein when weight training
i do not know
