Get the cheapest whey protein mix. Any brand will do, because protein is protein. Don't worry about vitamins in the protein mix, just take a multivitamin. Don't worry about amino acids in the mix, because ALL protein contains plenty of amino acids. Don't worry about ANY marketing hype that says one type is better than another. It isn't true. I use GNC brand whey protein. It's cheap, it tastes good, and it's protein. That's all that matters.
Just take regular 100% whey protein
DONT let them convince you otherwise!!!
1) protein is good for you, you body needs it
2) protein is not a magical muscle builder, it just helps you replace your meals, and dont try to starve yourself, if you feel hungry either eat something or drink a shake
3) protein is most effective WITHIN a 30MIN period of after your workout
4) your 16 and your 6feet, dont worry about other peoples maxxes, its only ganna make you weaker if you think how much other people can do
5) only try to max out once a month after you go over 250lb on anything, its bad for your joints if you max out every week or so
6) getting stronger takes time, dont worry
7) try to limit yourself to 1 HOUR a day, and 4-5 times a week
Good luck
I would eat a healthy diet and a balanced diet. Those shakes could have side effects. I would get something organic
whey protein. the first answer is a joke. theres no side effects at ALL.
get whey protein and drink it after u work out
.. get powder , and mix it with milk, it taste bad but trust me it works
