Whey Protein And Building Muscle
September 19, 2011 by admin
Whey protein is a supplement that every bodybuilder or fitness enthusiast is well aware of when it comes to building muscle. Its a protein that you can take either right after a weight training session or it’s a great idea to take when you get up first thing in the morning.
Whey protein is a fast acting protein. It is absorbed by your body quickly delivering amino acids to your muscles to help fuel them for continued growth and repair.
Taking whey protein in the morning after your body has fasted all night, allows you to inject into your bloodstream amino acids that will feed your muscles and halt the catabolic process that takes place during your sleep as quickly as possible.
There are some good whey proteins out on the market and of course some are better than others. A good high quality whey I personally take is from Beverly International.
There are many others out the market as well. Whey protein is also great to use immediately after your workout when your muscle can use an infusion of amino acids to feed them and re-fuel them for growth.
I recommend that whey protein also be taken by older adults to help slow down the wasting away of crucial muscle tissue that is needed for movement and to keep their metabolism running at a higher level.
The more muscle you can retain as we age the stronger you remain, and the leaner you become. Staying lean as we age is tough enough as it is without losing muscle due to the fact your protein rquirements are insufficient.
There are concerns for older adults taking protein supplements due to kidney function. If considering taking a protein supplement as an older adult, consult your doctor first. Added protein whether it is whey or casein protein will not harm you providing your kidneys are not compromised to begin with.
Whether you use whey immediately after waking up in the morning or right after a workout you will be benefiting your body by giving your muscles the fuel it requires to grow.
There are also many protein manufacturers who use both whey and casein protein in the same blend. Casein being a slower acting protein is absorbed slower by the body but gives you a prolonged and steadier supply of protein throughout the day.
Whey protein either by itself or, mixed with casein protein should be used everyday in your quest to build a stronger, leaner looking body.

There are several areas to competitive body building. Body builders can participate in professional body building, natural body building, teenage body building, and female body building. Bodybuilding is a very demanding sport. Your goal to build pure muscle is a strict combination of training, resting and above all proper nutrition. That’s the reason why you need a bodybuilding meal plan.
