I run in Vibram FiveFingers. It's not quite barefoot running but pretty darn close. They do wonders for my knees and ankles. Before I was cutting out because the pounding on my knees were killing me around 2 miles, but with my VFF I can run 5+ miles consistently. It's a whole different ballgame. Running w/ shoes, I struggle to walk the next day. Running with VFF, I feel even more energized the next day.

I know it doesn't work for everyone, but it's worked for me. That's what matters to me of course. Other people have different experiences. But at 6'5" 215lb, the less stress on my knees the better.

I'm pretty convinced VFF accelerated my arthritis. Just saying.

How so? I have bad arthritis in my knees and I feel like VFF helps take it down a few notches.

My arthritis is in my toes. Genetically predisposed to it thanks to malformed joints and I think I've had hallux rigidus for years in a mild form, although I didn't know what it was until a couple of years ago. But I think jogging in the VFF, which did feel better for my knees once my calves and soleus got used to it, wore down the cartilage and accelerated the growth of the bone spurs I have on top of both big-toe joints now.

Could keep going, but I'd have to take it to the emo thread. My point is that barefoot running can be great if you take your time adapting and if there's nothing contra-indicating it. But it's not the miraculous solution to all physical ailments - or return to our "paleo" roots - that it seems a lot of people make it out to be.

How soon do you take if after your workout? I've been told, and this is just by a friend who works out a lot, that taking protein -immediately- after your workout is not ideal. He said waiting 35 or so minutes is better. Something about your body burning calories a bit more and being more accepting to the protein after it has adjusted to a post-workout/rebuilding phase. It made sense the way he said it and I may not be translating it right to you guys, but that's the basic gist of it I think.

Your friend is a dangerous brotard and you should probably distance yourself from him. There's actually some evidence that consuming WPC soon before your workout has a greater effect on protein synthesis than consuming it afterward. Protein takes a while to digest regardless of when you eat it. The most important thing (by far) is to get enough protein and calories throughout the day. Getting some protein soon before (small amount), during and/or soon after your workout is definitely a good idea but your muscles will not fall off if you miss that crucial 35-45 minute post-workout window.

That said, joejoe's point is good, that if setting a schedule for yourself helps ensure that you get what you need, by all means, stick to a schedule.

Seems thorough reading is not my specialty today. 

Weird, don't know why PayPal would demand a credit card when they can just access your bank account.

My diet is fine, it just sucked this weekend because I puked like 7 times on Saturday, which threw my appetite off for the whole weekend. I couldn't get anything down until 5 PM.

BTW fuck you for calling me fat and out of shape. 

Do you have a check/debit card? Impossible to have a checking account in the States without a debit card. Cause that'll work, too, for PayPal. He's been slow with the AARR recently, nothing since the January issue, which was not memorable, although his site says the new one will be posted today. I'll let you know how it looks when I see it.

whey-shakes

got some from CVS for 14 bucks and it has about 16 scoops worth 25grams each...better than GNC imo

$14 for 16 scoops? Yikes, buddy, you got gouged. Trueprotein.com = $55 for 10 lbs. Don't know how many scoops that is, my guess would be about 150-200. Lasts me about 6 months.
