^^^^Yeah but all you have to do is read what he is really saying. What he is telling us is that most of these studies are pointless in terms of real world application. Yes, they give a little piece of the picture but it is far from complete.
He's goes into those very kind of questions you are asking. Remember the article is not just dealing with the kind of stuff that most of us on this forum are into but with the whole pre/post thing which has a lot of little "groups" in it. But at the same time he's pointing out that nobody can claim to have the whole picture and that all of this stuff is based one or two studies that aren't appropriate, necessarily, to the real world.
Soy is better than water for post workout. So at least you could claim that milk is better than water...something like that
Read the entire article and you'll see what I mean. He's not saying swich to milk. He's making the point that milk is better still than air
. But also that all these studies have the same faults. And it's really not the faults of the individual studies since certain parameters are necessary to carry out one. But I will say some of these people make no sense in how to choose follow up studies, another point he's making. Trust me though, Brink has his money on whey + malto.
There is no hype in the article though. None at all.
Personally I am not changing my formula which is just whey, malto, and dex. But to be truthful I stopped measuring out everything quite a while ago. I just throw in some of this and some of that....I'm getting in a ballpark just eyeballing stuff but I'm not going to stress over it, like Widdoes said.
And since you didn't finish the article yet, I don't know why I'm explaining all this
I'm hopeless.
