I know why you say "milk at night." but why wouldn't that slow digestion and extended release be worth having all day long? I mean, assuming you are like me and work out in the AM. I wouldn't dare drink milk pre-work out for anything more difficult than some light sled dragging. It would be a total puke fest!

I have read all of the material I could on protein digestion and timing and all of that. I'm not saying you can't get it to work in a lab, but my own personal experience kinda leads me towards the "lots of work for not much gain" side of things. Just like supplementation.

I really truly think that we get so focused on the little tricks that we forget that building strength and muscle has existed for a LONG time before any of this earth shattering research was done and yet we are still not making the old time strongmen look like pansies.

To me this is like a sprinter worrying about shaving body hair and wearing the world's greatest aerodynamic suit and blah blah blah... oh yeah, but he only goes out and jogs a bit now and again, eats like crap, stays up all night playing video games... and then wonders why he never makes it to the olympics. I mean... he paid attention to EVERY LAST DETAIL! ;)
