whey protein or isolate whey protein?

[Del Coqui]

My hands can't take the beating of punching the bag anymore . So I'm considering p90x and a bit of protein. Whey or isolate does it make a difference?

LOL, I can pick up a dumbell and do pullups, pushups (not plyo). My right wrist was broken motorcyle accident a few yrs ago, my left hand behind the knuckles has bothered me with pain for maybe 2 yrs, I got a lump there that never goes away. Started taking krill oil and it seemed to help until last week, felt better started hitting the bag so I decided to throw a hard left hook to the body and once I hit it I felt electricity coming up my arm, pain was so bad made me wanna puke lol, swelled up again badly. Funny thing is that I help out at a gym and spar with some of the guys there from time to time and never have any problems. Basically I'll still spar every once in a while but got to find another way of working out and want to get bigger too, that's why I want to take protein. Some ppl say regular whey others isolate, which one is best?

What are your goals? You just looking to work out, or you plan on ever fighting competetativley? Your injuries sound very detrimental to boxing.

I want to get bigger, maybe gain 15 or 20 lbs of muscle. I want to stick to helping other guys in boxing, can't go thru this anymore.

If you're looking on putting on that much muscle you're just gonna have to bulk. I know very little about P90x but I know that youre looking to get that much bigger your best bet is to just lift heavy and increase your calorie intake. If you're concerned about keeping a low BF, just lean out afterwards. Putting on that much muscle while keeping lean is a long process . Dont bother with suppliments. This is all also dependant upon your current starting point.

I suggest you do a Stronglifts 5x5, Bill Starr 5x5 or Westside For Skinny Bastards Pt. 3 for you your routine.

P90x is more or less a HIIT routine for fat people to lose weight. It's not going to put sizie on you or make you gain weight. It's a muscle confusion program designed for weight loss.

I also suggest you start eating a lot more and I'd go with Whey Isolate becuase it's more bioavailable compared to Regular Whey or Whey Concentrate.

ive put on a good 15lbs of mass from doing p90x.... TBH

as far as a protein supplement goes, i strongly suggest Pro Complex by Optimum Nutrition

I find that hard to believe. Especially since I read in another thread that you've only been doing it for 10 weeks.
