A
Shocking Protein Supplement Discovery That Bodybuilders Should
Know About!

Which protein works best at building muscle? The answer will
SHOCK YOU!
If you follow popular bodybuilding advice you've probably
heard that different types of protein powders are consumed at
different times for different reasons.
For example, "Casein Protein" (a very slow digesting
protein) isn't as bio-available to your muscle.
But because casein forms a solid "clot" in your stomach,
it's digested and absorbed very slowly, reportedly helping to
prevent muscle breakdown over a longer period of time.
This is said to be especially effective for "hardgainers"
whose metabolism may shoot right through more powerful
proteins.
On the flip side, powders like "Whey Protein Isolate" are
easily soaked up by your muscles but are said to best be used
for times immediately after your workout.
The advantage is that you fast track the aminos to your
muscles...downside has always been that it doesn't "last" as
long in your body and leaves your muscles "high and dry" unless
you constantly refill your body's amino acid reserves.
Well, it may be time to forget EVERYTHING you've been
told!
The absolute highest bio-available protein is "Whey protein
hydrolysate" and it's like crack cocaine to your muscles
because it's digested and absorbed faster than any other
protein source.
For 99.9% of the "experts" out there, that would mean you
should ONLY use it IMMEDIATELY after your workout.
But a study out of the Copenhagen (Denmark) Muscle Research
Center may reveal a shocking insight...
Researchers discovered that out of all of the proteins, whey
protein hydrolysate not only had the highest availability of
amino acids (meaning your body uses more of what you
ingest)...
...but it ALSO had the highest availability of amino acids
during the entire 3 HOURS after consumption!
That would make whey hydrolysate the KING of all proteins
when it comes to muscle building!
Now, I've recently been experimenting with this new
discovery.
Specifically, I've been working on my own "homemade" formula
for an upcoming update to my popular program

Here's what I've found from my current experiments:
1. My muscle growth has increased by about 20% while only
using hydrolysate 3 times a day when compared with the same
6-week mass-gaining cycle using casein protein.
(Note: I was using my
Optimum Anabolics
program for this test and based it upon a
3-week "Progressive Load Cycle" followed by a 3-week
"Hyper-Adaptive" cycle)
2. The whey hydrolysate powder is a bit more expensive than
casein and WAY more expensive than concentrate or isolate.
(I bought 25 lbs for $239 at allthewhey.com compated with
$151 for whey concentrate)
3. The powder "cakes up" much more in protein drinks and
tastes almost like "plastic"..."2 Stars" on the flavor
rating.

Analysis?
20% could mean a lot more muscle for you, especially if
you're a more advanced lifter and have to fight to push your
genetics further and further.
If that's YOU, then you may want to test your own results
with hydrolysate.
But for value, or if you're not as serious a lifter, I'd say
stick with whey protein isolate as it has excellent
bioavailability and works well for 95% of the "Average Joe's"
out there.
