You realize protein is just food? That is like saying chicken, eggs, beef, pork, milk, etc is bad for you.

Complete nonsense. Whoever told you this was giving you advice and had no right too because they aer wrong. Anyone with a tiny bit of knowledge on exercise would know better than this.

where to people hear this stuff?

whey, egg, casein are all great protein sources that can be obtained from a supplement powder, it should not substitute protein from real food, but give you the additional protein needed to build muscle.

Protein, Carbs, Fat are all good for you!

are you sure?
cause ive never had that problem..

actually
since ive started taking my diet more seriously, my shit, and occasional farts, smells alot less disgusting

and whey protein is a major staple in my diet...
around 75g a day from it

Posted by: Prince

I have 2-3 whey protein drinks per day, each one has 2 full scoops of IronMagLabs Whey Protein Isolate, plus 1 cup of 1% milk.

Win many competitions?.....didn't think so.

I'm guessing practice and strength training are banned as well.

Posted by: T_man

hey maybe they even told you that breathing is also bad for you because oxygen is poisonous???

I say we feather, tar and incinerate the bastard who told this dastardly lie.

Well whoever said it was bad is WRONG.

i have heard some dumb shit before........this takes the cake whoever proposed this info needs to do some research

Posted by: Ben dur

creatine is understandable

it is probably not a good idea to allow unmarked white pills on campus, or fine white powder...

but if you premixed a protein shake and brought it along in a shaker, i dont see why that would be banned...
it is after all

just food...

or have they banned all nutrition?

Posted by: sendit08

i can even understand prohibiting the use of protein powders on campus. but to pull aside all athletes and tell them that protein is bad for you is WRONG on so many levels. you would think a PE teacher or sports coach is educated enough on this topic to stop something like this before it happens.

Who is "they" teachers, principal, librarian, custodian or a real fitness coach who knows that protein is the key to GROWING and repairing new muscle among tons of other factors it can do for your body.

Take it at home morning and night and when they ask why you are growing faster than Jim Bob and you look healthier, tell them your eating tons of eggs at home and drinking gatorade as well.....LOL.

Could you tell us what school in Texas this is?

Posted by: jmorrison

Protein is literally just food. The main reason for supplementing with protein is for convenience. When you are a bigger guy and need 200g+ of protein per day to build lean mass, that can be kind of hard to get from chicken!

And creatine...man I have been hearing the creatine is bad for you for 10 years, and have never met anyone that has had anything worse than stomach cramps from it. Banning it from your school is insane. Slightly better than banning protein, but still insane.

Whats school is this? First off it's a suck ass school, and if its not private, that might be unconstitutional. What next? No Orange Juice?

Posted by: Ben dur

i think they should just ban students

then all the problems would be solved

Posted by: highpockets

It never ceases to amaze me at just how many people are so uneducated about this, even some doctors. For example, last Christmas I was at a big get together at a friends house. My friend and his 18 year old son come up to me and they start asking me questions about supplementation for the son. The son is really athletic, plays football and baseball, wiry little kid. He just can't put on much muscle.

After a few questions by yours truly, I tell them that if he was my son, I would monitor his diet for awhile, cut out the junk food that I know he loves, and start with a multi vitamin, protein shakes and creatine.

Well their family doctor was at this gathering also, standing behind me eaves dropping, and she just about came unglued. She acted like I was telling the kid to start shooting juice. She by the way is about as big as a small cow (no kidding)! I try to tell her that creatine is produced by the body already and protein is consumed by everyone, yada, yada, yada. Well she has nothing doing with any of this and walks away. So the kid decides that I must be on something illegal and decides to continue eating his junk food way to nowhere! He hasn't grown a bit, even though I know he's still working out pretty hard.

All I can do is try. One thing I know, my son, who the doctors say should be around 6'10", will be drinking the shakes!!!!

HOLY COW! Thats about 15pnds of whey a week! LOL

Look at Shaq.....here comes highpockets jr!

Posted by: Ben dur

its amazing to me that they bann protein powder

i mean
i can understand not letting kids bring unlabbled powders to school

but if it is in the original jug
or if it is pre mixed
i dont see how they can bann this

it would be like banning any other kind of food

i mean
i bet theres still fat fuck teachers bringing slimfast

hope they never read the ingredients cause theyll be shocked to find WHEY PROTEIN within the first 3 or 4 ingredients im sure

Posted by: Ngordyn

one of my gym teachers in highschool tried telling me i couldnt bring my creatine powder to school ( i just take mine with my PWO but dont mix it in till right before) another gym teacher who is an ex bodybuilder, ex strong man just said " are you fucking kidding me, why the hell would he not be allowed to do that, that may be the dumbest thing you ever said" lol the other teacher just walked away

Posted by: DiGiTaL

this is why i say they should let real professionals be coaches and gym teachers. making, say an art teacher with very little knowledge of exercise science and nutrition a football coach is just dumb.

Posted by: bodom

just like taking a test and not being allowed to study.

doesnt make any sense at all.

Posted by: nni

sure it does. if you are in school, you are under 18 and technically not allowed to purchase these products. the teacher is covering his ass by telling you that, and he is doing the right thing. i see nothing wrong with you using them, but doing so with his knowledge puts him into a potentially difficult situation. you would be amazed the stories i hear from my teacher friends about parents complaining. he is just making sure he is covered.

Posted by: OuiSwim

That's dumb as hell, this school is trying to convince you NOT to take protein/creatine.. My school was trying to fucking convince me to take t50 for football. Texas may still have the death penalty but they went soft somewhere.

And I have to agree with the earlier post about protein making your farts stink, after I drink my protein it smells TERRIBLE.. just saying, could be another reason the school ban it, the smells were becoming hazardous to students health.

18 years old to buy/use protein?

when you are talking schools, you are talking extreme caution. add that to the overwhelming amount of morons who think that anything from a supplement store is a hidden steroid then you can begin to understand their view. 1000 cases of clean products is ruined by one tainted sup.

I guess, public schools should be more concerned with the garbage they are feeding the kids in the lunchrooms.

if you have not seen the movie Supersizeme, rent it, the food in our public schools is of lower quality than fast food, not to mention most schools now serve fast food as an option too.

Posted by: OuiSwim

Our school lets us leave for lunch and go home, I'd rather not eat at all than eat that trashy ass food they serve these days.

Posted by: Spike00513z

Lol if your school bans whey protein, ignore them. Who are they to tell you of this?I'm pretty sure if you wanted, you could make money off of it by taking it to a court..thats if you drink your whey, not sell it at school or anything. It must be a gay school because my schools full of roidmonkey baseball and football players. The shortest dude in the school is the strongest..and he takes hgh/roids lol

are you just spouting bullshit in anger and jealousy?
or do you actually know these people to be on gear?

and furthermore
any school that has an athletic program at ANY level, should not only allow the use of protein
they should PROMOTE the use of protein powders

they should educate the student in proper athletic diet

AND
they should educate the student athletes in the safe use of MANY types of performance related supplements.

including

Creatine
NO based products
Sports drinks
pro hormones
etc.

it would be a much more effective/safe environment than turning a blind eye to the use

i say this not because creatine and protein are unsafe

but because the uneducated, will often walk into a MaxMuscle and ask for whatever will pump the up the fasted, and unknowingly walk out with a double methyl.

and if protein is banned at school, no way in hell they will let anyone know what they are REALLY taking

next thing you know, you got kids with bigger problems than bad gas and constipation.

Posted by: Ngordyn

first of all i was 18. at the time...........and yes creatine has an 18 age warning, our school had horrible food i always made my own lunch , plus i was to cheap to pay for food, and you have to know this teacher he was not covering his ass, he just dint like people who were in the weight room to much , was not a fan of body building at all , was convinced everyone one of us was injecting

Posted by: Ben dur

What a bunch of retards. I reckon you should gather information on how protein is good for you, print it out, staple it, and then shove it up his ass. OKay maybe not but seriously; what the fuk? Where do you live and go to school?

Posted by: achamp1121

whey protein all the way.

Posted by: juggernaut

if they do this silly shit, just load up on eggs and cottage cheese. Seriously, they're better than whey is anyway. Much more filling and it doesnt feel as it goes through immediately. I usually just mix whey with casein anyway.

Qualified because they are the people in charge; So, in a way, yes. But on the other hand, they are singling out a small group of people. This could be considered discriminatory.

Posted by: TitanUnleashed

Its almost akin to a sin whoever mentioned protein is detrimental ta anyones health. Working out without the proper nutrition, protein in this case is equivalent to be playin baseball without bats.
Anw, abt creatine. I've known and seen so many ppl take it without any side effects unless you include loose stools in our first few takes.

Posted by: nkira

You know what, may be el_shorty's school is trying to FIX a sports competition and they don't want there students to win, so they are making all this "Protein are bad" stuff up so that students don't get proper nutrition for the event....that's just my speculation
