Protein Supplements for a sprinter

[Dantje]

Hi,

I've got a few general questions about what type of protein I should be having and when I should be having it.

I train twice a week on the track and 2 RT sessions in the gym. And I also swim 2-3 times in the pool per week (2 hour sessions)


I've currently been supplementing with a Musashi bulk protein powder, consuming 60g after each gym and swim session.
Just wondering if you feel there is a different or better or protein that I should be looking at, or if i should be taking more.

Thanks,

Protein is protein. Find a quality brand with a flavor you like and that's all you news. Some good brands I can think of are ON, Dymatize, IForce, etc.

Whey protein during the day and Casein protein for bed to keep you rockin while you sleep. I love to run but my old azz joints can get creaky. Fish oil supps or glucosamine will make you ache a helluva lot less if you run a lot... For real!

Casein before bed isn't really necessary. Better off with real food IMO. It just isn't worth the money. My joints are no good too but I prefer cissus for my knees.
