One of us has a dodgy stomach with milk/whey/lactose.
I thought pea might be alright.

IT FUCKING ISN'T.
I'M BUYING CHOCOLATE SOY FOREVER.

My wife follows a few of them, particularly that kayla itsines, who she really likes. Not enough weighted stuff in it for my liking but it's a decent 'fitness' programme, for sure.

I didnt even think peas had enough protein to warrant having a powered version...

Like powered water...

Surely pea protein is your greens + your protein all in one... ?

;)

(sticks to whey, just fine for me)

Hemp protein is my favorite plant based one. But then I would say that.

But can you shmoke it? ;)

I tried that with something similar for years but it didn't increase my muscle mass much.

No good for cycling either ;)

Sun warrior vegan protein bitches!!!

Damo. Pea protein is ok when you cook with it. I'm sure you could bang it in some shakes with fruit an ting to make it taste alright...

I do have some at home.

Not training hard enough.

Aint we all.

Or not enough calories/sleep or overtraining ;)

For average/poor genetic folk with work/kids that's one too... :)

Ive over done my elbow. inflammation gtfo... bicep insertion and on outside of forearm into outside of hand. Feels possibly like RSI shit.

Yeah I realised cooking with it is an option. I have a watercress (NATURALLY HIGH IN VITAMINS BROS) soup that I might turn into a thicker soup.

Also: pancakes. And probably some sort of bar thing.

Curly question... been working biceps a little harder and incorporating preacher curls into my workouts. Now I have seem to developed shin splints in my forearms. Or something.

Basically, a day after gym the bits between my forearm bones feel achingly sore, almost faint worthy pain if I push in the right spot. Feels like it's right where muscle connects to bone. And it means next time I try curls, well, it hurts. So annoying.

Obviously I will avoid preacher curls for now but any tips as to what this might be or ways to avoid?

lower weight, increase the reps. Body needs time to build up to it in my opinion.

But i should probably take my own advice.

Cheers CB. Although I had sort of plateaued and could do plenty of reps of light preacher curls and other exercises but with zero gain. So i've been slowly upping the weight... I'm not even lifting heavy weights, just going from "this is reasonably hard" after 12 or 16 reps to pulling slightly funny faces after 8...

seen "greens" mentioned on here a couple of times in last 2-3 pages. guessing you mean super green powders - do you think it's worth it? any recommended brands? and yes i know they're all versions of foul gloop but there must be some relative winners.

Bulk Powders Super Greens.

24 super greens.

Weight too heavy.

And stop curling FFS.

And stop curling FFS.>

But I was reliably informed that bicep curls get all the gurls... but srsly, you are right. I'll give it a rest or sack off preacher curls altogether.
