Eating more protein will not make you bulk up. Eating, lifting heavy and resting will bulk you up. This is ideal for eating after your run. You should also eat some sugar (like tossing a handful of M&M's into the blender) to replenish your glycogen. Another good idea is to have some of their casein protein right before you go to bed. Whey is good first thing in the morning and after a workout (it is fast digesting) and casein is good before bed.

There's nothing magic about getting your dietary protein from whey. Drinking a whey protein shake has the same effect as eating some baked chicken breast. Just like all other dietary protein, if you eat enough protein it will be used by your body to build the muscles you've been breaking down.

I'm pretty sure it will. Also you will feel better soon. It helped me, with a hip fracture recovery and it helped my older son who injured his groin area. We are running our first 5K next November!!!!!

No, it works better and faster if you work out. I know people who have just used it for sweating out weight and it has worked but at a very slow pace. Mostly water weight.

...I found that a heavy workout coupled with Mass Gainer helped greatly with "bulking up". However unchecked you can gain weight (gut). I found one scoop is all I need ...four scoops too much sugar.

It will help all performance athletes period. If you gain 2 lbs of water weight I would be surprised. Take higher doses than recommended as well.The more your muscle cells are hydrated the more endurance you will have.

I would recommend this product. I'm assuming with a child you are living a very busy life. In my opinion, this product is intended for people who are moving around their home and want to slim up just a bit (nothing dramatic) because mind you, you must move your abdominal muscles by walking or moving around, to have any noticeable effects. I lost about 2 pounds but I didn't use it as often as directed. However If you would like to loose weight, I would highly recommend some healthy weight reducer supplements, called belly blaster pm. It's natural and I have lost 5 pound in 2 weeks and you just take it before bed and drink a glass of water. It also helps you sleep!! Hope this all helps lol I would recommend this product.

Yes. If you do not workout, you can still drink it. Not sure if it will help with anything (maybe help with fatigue).

It helps maintain lean muscle mass. I would not recommend if you are looking for a supplement to gain muscle mass.

Remember the premise of this product: its part of the solution to boost the fat burn process, its not magic its not gonna make you loose tons of fat on a week, plus and very important, you can be training 22 hours a day, but if you do not eat healthy or have a diet according your body type, it wont work at all. Its all about efficiency and this product its great for that! You wanna know if fat will return, Im gonna say, after you work so hard, are u going to let that happen??? Six pack are made in the kitchen, so NO, fat wont come back if you stop using, keep training and eat healthy 24/7.

I have been using this product for about two months now. I do not use it by itself. I use it with a supplement in a form of caps. I notice I have filled out a lot of my jeans which I wear a size 11 boosting up to a size 13. I do not exercise because I do not like to LOL. I just take the supplement once a day and use this product in the morning and at night.

YES!!! That's mostly what I use it for and it's great! I don't swim laps competatively though, so I'm not sure how much it would impact your times, but the drag that is created is minimal and doesnt have a negative effect on the duration of my workout.

You can look that up online. I don't have the bottle in front of me, but i know it has some natural ingredients and different vit B's, it is supposed to help your VO2 max i believe, whether it really does this or not i'm not sure but i do feel that when i'm running i can ask a little more of my oxygen supply and get more out of my legs, but that could all just be in my head!

No, this is not a muscle building product. It is meant to burn fat by increasing your core body temperature. No muscle building traits to it.

Some bulking programs suggest stacking creatine in cycles, but as a 'by the serving' performance enhancer ...this stuff is good food for your muscles. Using a 'per serving' approach to hit your workout harder than rolling in the gym after doughnut will payoff over time. Stick with it and good luck!

I wouldn't take a preworkout prior to endurance sports. It's more for short term powerlifting or cardio.

Absolutely, put it on, a t shiry and a sweater, you want to get as hot as possible, and remember to always have water with you, go for a half hour run, start off with 5minutes if you do not have the stamina, or even walk. The point is to get moving and your body sweating. Eventually work your way to an hour or more aday and you'll see your waist trim down in no time. This product helps your midsection sweat more, therefore allowing your body to loose more water content in that area (fat.) I hope this ansers your queation. ( along with a respinsuble diet and exersize program everything works!)

Depends, it sure wouldn't hurt. This product aids in recovery and protein synthesis. (uptake of usable protein for your muscles to grow). Optimum is a good product. Hard training and adequate rest are important.
