I have reasons I prefer the hydrolyzed. I've taken the standard for years and gone through a tub of this and for my purposes it's better. It doesn't supplant but rather supplement diet. What tangible effect it's had I can't tell you and there are periods I don't take it. I can assure you one thing though, that I look sick as fuck with my shirt off and that's all that fucking matters

People tend to overthink diet and workout routines; pretty much any exercise board is full of people 100 pounds overweight arguing about the efficiency of their workout program.  In the end 5 or 10% efficiency really doesn't matter, so if it works for you keep doing it and ignore the internet.

@ Hendrix: not all proteins are created equal.  The same amount of physical protein in a whey tub verse a farm-raised chicken verse a wild deer will be wildly different in terms of effectiveness, purely because the latter has literally hundreds of different proteins (wild animals will consume hundreds of different plant types while even a grass-fed cow from Whole Foods will still only consume a handful).  I can dig up the relevant study if you're interested but I'm having trouble finding it since it's been like 3 years since I read it.

The "paleolithic diet" that's been popular lately is kind of a sham from what I've seen, but the anthropological research that it's very loosely based on is actually really solid and interesting.  The key takeaways are (a) variety is key and (b) cook your food unless you want to eat twice as much for the same effect.

Ordered two different sizes since I wasn't sure how it would fit.

The 44.5 is too big for me and will be going back unless someone here wants it.

WIl fit a 45 or so. 310 + shipping. PM if you're interested.

FML, I just got the size 44 and it didn't fit either. Felt just as big as the 44.5.

I think I would've needed to size down 1.5 or something crazy like that. Seriously don't understand why designers make random sizing like this. It's one thing with tops being meant to be worn oversized or whatever, but with footwear it seems like they just want to fuck with their customers.

I'm convinced that anyone who thinks Ann footwear runs TTS has weird feet :|

we don't absorb "hundreds of different proteins", we absorb 20 different amino acids. And whey protein has a very good amino acid profile.

If a cow couldn't get all the different amino acids it needed for growth, then, well, it wouldn't grow. As it happens, cows don't need to worry too much about which amino acids they eat because they have gut microbiota that convert the different amino acids so they always get a full quota.

Yeah I sort of butchered that, I had some time this afternoon so I looked into it a little more:

This is what I was thinking of, I think I was confusing fats with protein or something but I still don't remember the exact details.  TL;DR hunter-gatherers ate a lot more lean meat.  I've been out of school too long :(

At least that's how I see it. I'll usually drink protein/recovery drink post race at bike races because I generally have to stick around for teammates to race, or at the very least have to pack up my shit an drive somewhere to get food, which can take upwards of an hour sometimes when it's all said and done. When I'm home and have ample time I usually just eat real food post workout.

Not to mention it's cheap too..a protein shake (1 scoop = 30g of protein) only costs about $1/scoop for me, excluding the cost of milk + a banana.
