| Making Progress  Join Date: Apr 2006 Posts: 100 Rep Power:  |  Pro bodybuilders (Night time Protein) I heard something in the gym the other day that some pro's like big Ronnie, hook themselfs up to a drip at night when they sleep so they have a constant protein supply. This to me sounds abit far fetched has anyone else heard this or is it just typical gym bulls**t. I know pros don't sleep for 8 hours sleep they wake up every few hours for protein, I do this myself as I work nightshifts. Thanks guys J-man ______________________ SHOW ME A BODYBUILDER WHO HATES TO SQUAT AND I'LL SHOW YOU A WEAK PAIR OF LEGS. |

Posts: 2,586 Rep Power: | Re: Pro bodybuilders (Night time Protein) Hey guys, On a more medical side I dont think it would be protein in the IV - or certainly not protein shakes - as it needs to be digested by the stomach first and broken down into the relevant micronutrients. Plus IV bags are a fairly standard size - circa 750ml I think so it would need changing every few hours. So I'm guessing its just an urban/gym legend.  |

Can we claim Protein Enema's are the next best thing in the list of next best things...? Thats the closest to Protein on an IV I could come up with... |

I will never purposefully wake myself up to eat.
