Just started a Stronglifts 5x5 program and OMG the DOMS!
I've been looking into protein shakes as I don't eat a huge amount of protein and someone suggested it might help with recovery times. Or at least help me negotiate the stairs at work two days after a workout
Only, I can't decide if protein shakes are bullshit or not. I tend to be fairly anti supplements with the exception of vitamin D in winter, but I did have a (vile tasting) protein shake at the gym last session and do feel less sore than I have on previous occasions (coincidence as getting stronger or psychological, maybe?) Is there really any benefit over having a large glass of milk when you get home?
Assuming that protein shakes are the way to go - can anyone recommend brand/flavour? A lower lactose version might be helpful too. Don't care about diet/low cal. The gym I'm at sells go pro whey and the strawberry flavour was fairly artificial and vile. Also, it seems to cost a small fortune buying each time I'm there so I'm assuming the 15 min drive home before making my own won't make that much difference.
