What kind of protien should i take if i am trying to build muscle quickly when i am very skinny?
I am 16 years old, I am 5 foot 8 and i weigh about 140 pounds. i don’t really have any fat on me, but i also dont really have any mucsle. i am very dedicated when i do workout though. I just can’t seem to build any muscle and i cannot get bigger. what kind of protien would someone suggest who have had this problem?
Protein is not the only answer. Eat whey, casein, and egg proteins. Also, eat more carbs. You need to eat A LOT of food if you want to put on muscle.
I was able to go from 135 lbs to 175 lbs in one summer. I ate like a horse, made sure I ate at least 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight, and I used Mike Mentzer High Intensity training routines (AKA heavy duty).
Here is a youtube clip of one of the routines. clip is kinda boring, but gets the point across

Now here is my whey protein schedule
Right out of bed 50 gram shake/smoothie
Immediately after workout 50 gram shake/smoothie
Right before bed 50 gram shake/smoothie
Then sometimes if I wake up in the middle of the night, I will go to the kitchen and have another 50 gram shake/smoothie.
This blows up recovery and puts the mass on quick!
