The holland and b¤@@et stuff is just catering whey its not that great for muscle building properties. As for cardio to shift flabby guts doing interval training will smash the flab all day long. Doing 1minute jogging followed by 1 minute sprinting doing this for 20 minutes will blast more calories and eat away the fat quicker than 1 hours medium paced jogging. Its great if your stuck for time. Doing this and the girlfriends fitness dvds combined with good diet has helped me drop 5stone since last christmas

AMEN! More power to you mate - Interval training all the way!
Coincidentally tonight I'm gonna be out in the park attempting Andy Murray's interval sprint workout that I read in a recent interview with his trainer...
"20 x 100 metre sprints. Put simply, you have one minute to sprint 100 metres, but your recovery has to fall inside that 60 seconds too. So, the longer you take on the sprint, the less time you have between sprints.
Andy's way of dealing with it is to focus solely on how long he'll actually be running for - not the time he'll spend recovering.
He manages, somehow, to run all 20 of his sprints at or around 15 seconds, with the odd 13 second effort in there too".
...so if I'm not around for a while, you know what happened to me!!! lol!
(when I get a bit of time, I'll scan the magazine article and post it up - there were some really good training points in it and if you didn't respect Andy Murray's fitness & conditioning before, you sure will after reading it)
Blimey!!!!
Got to say that you can see that Andy Murray's conditioning is second to none.
On the courts he chases down shots that the average player would have left and actually reaches and hits a pretty good shot back.
On that note, got to say that some of the strength and conditioning of the UFC fighters is absolutely crazy too. They go through some rigorous training.
whey protien can cause a lot of water retention(sp) i stick to egg and milk . works a dream add a little mod creatine ( non bloating) you will be flying . when im bulking i never ever do cardio..if your looking to lose weight there is no need to be taking any shakes at all . chicken steak and tuna will give you all you need . clean diet . good cardio . try super setting while doing weights . the fat will fall off
Thanks, so what's the actual purpose of taking whey protein? is it just another supplement that is just a waste of money. I thought it enabled a quicker recovery rate after training, healed damaged muscles and helped the growth of muscles as well as reduced food cravings, or have I got it all wrong. I don't fancy the idea of taking creatine. By the way, what's super setting, I just read an article about it but it didn't mention how to go about it.
baked beans thats my fav.
...I've heard about interval training and been meaning to try it but I haven't got round to it yet, but also wasn't sure what speeds to sprint and rest at. I can usually only manage 10 minutes at 6.5 miles per hour, distance 1 mile.
When we're doing our sprint intervals, I always say to my lot to "run like Freddy Kruger was chasing you" during the WORK interval.
During the REST interval, I don't really care if they walk/jog/bounce on the balls of their feet/do nothing... whatever they like (as long as they don't sit down - I DON'T let them sit down - ever).
But then as soon as it's time for the WORK interval again, you WORK.
Hope that helps you structure your own interval routine pal.
