@HZ: sounds like you know your stuff man. From what I’ve been told: to build any new muscle at all, you need a minimum of 135 gm of protein a day. A scop of decent whey protein isolate should contain at least 20 to 25 gm of protein. The brand i used to buy here worked out at about 8 kuai a scop (roughly the same as a litre of low fat milk which has about 25 gm of protein). So you can see its seriously expensive to get protein here. Then i use the old formula of “ideal body weight”. Mine is roughly 195 pounds, so therefore i need 195 grams of protein. Again, expensive. I try to get other sources (the old 6 egg omelette is pretty good, but i’m still pretty protein deficient.
@ James W : can you get protein sent into China? I thought there might be restrictions or hassles with this. GNC in the states also has a good range of stuff.
Some of you cats know your stuff. Enjoy your workouts!
