Kendo11 Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Currently on 7 protein meals a day. There's only so much meat you can chew in a day, so some of it has to come from shakes. 1 with water at breakfast. 1 immediately after the gym with water. 1 just before bed, preferably a higher caesin content with skimmed milk for slow release. Don't forget, your muscles repair most when you sleep. So you need a good 8 hours. When you're eating every 2.5 - 3 hrs during the day, you're literally fasting at night. Having a slow release protein at bed time feeds your muscles whilst you sleep. Suppose it all depends how long you want to hurt for. What do I know though, only 5ft 11, 23 stone with 21" arms and no neck... This is the op's thread remember, he's after advice after not being able to walk for a week. BCAA's, Aminos, a good diet & sleep are better for that sort of exercise. Protein will be massively beneficial but I don't see why he'd need to go over the gram per pound ratio for that? But what do I know, only have a degree in sports science Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjy Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Exactly. His muscles need to repair quicker. What does your sports science book say to remedy week long DOMS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendo11 Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 What book? A) branched chain amino acids B) creatine monohydrate C) good sleep every night D) hot/cold showers E) correct diet - i.e after working out macros. That's generally the current accepted way. HTH.

Graham1984 Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 There's always going to be some form of supplement protein used as I find it overbearing to do it all via food/diet. I agree with Ben on the Micellar casein which I use most nights (along with glycine which I find aids me actually sleeping) as it drip feeds me until I have a morning shake. The only things I found missing on your list were stretching and actually doing a tiny bit more extremely light exercise on said muscles again- followed by rest ect again.
