Maybe some post-workout if you got it, but there is no magical food or drink that you MUST take right after working out. :yeshrug:

Makes sense. I'll just add cottage chesse & Greek yogurt to my lifting days as a protein replacement for whey when I'm finished with the one I have now.

I've been having cottage chesse sandwiches on my cardio days so I'm used to it.
Tried plain nonfat Greek yogurt last night, wasn't too bad. 100 calories 15 g of protein makes sense to add it to the diet.

The great value brand non fat Greek yogurt from Walmart has 23 g of protein....

:dame: C'mon breh, what you think that Wal Mart has some magical dairy source that is higher in protein content than any other manufacturer of greek yogurt? :dame:

The reason Wal Mart's greek yogurt says 23g protein is because their listed serving size is 8.1 oz (compared to other yogurts which typically list a 5.3 oz serving size). Ounce per ounce, it is the same protein content as any other nonfat plain greek yogurt on the market

is this a good split? or pointless?
week 1 heavy+ low reps-mon/chest, tues/legs, wed/back, sat/arms
week 2 light + high reps- mon/chest, tues/legs, wed/back, sat/arms
and then alternate them week by week.


I'm just looking to switch things up. gotten a little mundane and i've never done this type of workout before.

Well, I am getting more flexibility and am able to squat without a barbell right now and the pain in my knee isn't totally bad. It still feels tight though on the left side. I've been doing a lot more IT Band stretching on the foam roller.

You just gotta add shoulders to either chest day or arms day and you're hitting everything once a week.
