I though I read when you're lifting to gain muscle, you shouldn't lift for more than 30 minutes.

How long should you rest between sets? I've seen guys rest for a few minutes, and I've seen people only rest for 30 seconds. .

It says theres no caseinate, casein, soy, or egg in it, that its 100% pure whey protein. Heres the link to the stuff I'm thinking about: http://www.designerwhey.com/2nd_level_prodinfo_smooth.html# .

Has anyone used the time released protein out now? Just wondering what everyones thoughts are on it. From what the ad says, whey protein only lasts for about 2 hours before its all used up for energy, whereas the time released stuff lasts for 8 hours. .

I figured it was too low because I've been lifting for a few months now without gaining any weight or too much strength.... Thanks

I only lift 3 days a week. How much protein should I be intaking on the off days? Should I be intaking just as much, or scale it back? Right now I'm getting close to 100grams on my ON days and probably 70grams on my OFF days. I weigh 170.

I've been told that drinking a protein shake after you workout is the best time to take it in. Right now, I drive 30 minutes home from the gym before I can drink a shake. Is there a window of optortunity to take it in by?

After lifting for the past 9 months, I'm wanting to learn more about the best ways to do everything. Best routines, form, diet, etc. Can anyone suggest a good bodybuilding book? I found one by health for life called "Secrets of Advanced Bodybuilders" Anyone know if its any good?
