And after 11 weeks of THT workout I still can’t help wondering why the 3-day fullbody workout trains bicep before back on Monday & Friday. Isn’t back bigger than bicep, and training bicep right before back weaken the strength for training back immediately?

I used MyProtein in the UK, but when I moved to Canada I found it difficult to find a good source of whey protein that wasn’t really expensive. The prices in health food shops are prohibitive, and it’s the same when you order from the US. It was very annoying, but I found a Canadian company that is fast, efficient, and the products and prices are the best I’ve ever seen. If there are any other Canadian readers, check out https://www.canadianprotein.com . I know this sounds like an ad, but I have nothing to do with this company – it was just a relief to find a source of supplements that doesn’t break the bank.

@ Edmundajw
For lactose intolerance, you can do whey Isolate, they have removed the lactose from it. Give it a try.

I love the THT training and I’ve made great gains on it this year, thanks. I also use soya as my protein powder.

Preach brother!! I’ve been arguing with people over the soy protein nonsense forever. It’s crazy how some just want to believe whatever they want disregarding what the facts say.

Damnit.. I started on soy about 3 months ago after suddenly becoming lactose intolerant (very annoying).

I had consumed a very large amount of milk, and whey all the time previous to this.. But now, even a bit of ilk in my tea, or even a slice of cheese with dinner, leaves me on the toilet the next day… 🙁

I guess I’ll try an alternative to soy then.. Luckily I recently ordered a vegan blend, and some egg powder off myprotein to mix it up a bit… I did notice I’ve lost weight recently (~2-3kg- BAD), so there you go…

@Chok. There is nothing better than whey. See point 7 in my post ’10 Bodybuilding Supplements You Should Never Buy’ here https://musclehack.com/10-bodybuilding-supplements-you-should-never-buy/

(7) Whey Hydrolysate

“Companies are always looking for a more effective whey so that they can beat their competition. Basically whey hydolysate is already partially broken down leading to faster absorption. But there is no research that clearly demonstrates better recovery or increased protein synthesis levels. Since this form of whey costs a lot more, you’re better off sticking to your whey concentrate or isolate.”

Yeah I saw the same study too. So in your opinion, for whey protein, is GNC hydro better than isolate for protein absorbtion and less fat?

Shocking news for Vegan Gains

@Gregori. Beef isolate would absorb quicker than eating beef, and beef is a good source of protein, but still inferior to whey in terms of its bio-availability – 80 v 159. Please see my post on the top 5 sources of protein here https://musclehack.com/top-5-protein-sources-for-building-muscle/

@Wjohn. They need to isolate the variables before coming to any conclusion about cancer risks. If people are eating high carbs with red meat, why conclude that the meat is the problem? Perhaps it’s the high level of carbohydrate? Perhaps it’s when the 2 are combined. Studies on red meat consumption for those on a low-carb diet show it’s perfectly fine.

Hey Mark — What’s your take on pure beef protein isolate vs. whey protein? Thx!

Why does the WHO keep warning about red meat consumption and linking it with cancer

Also what’s all the fuss lately about IGF-1 and cancer
