Sometimes you just have to give something a try to really figure things out for yourself.  I thought protein shakes were something that was just meant for the hardcore bodybuilders.  Every time I went to the gym I would secretly scoff at the people carrying their little mixtures and shakes.  I didn’t need anything extra in order to succeed.  I would plant my feet firmly and shred into my muscles like no other.  Well that didn’t really work out.  I was getting stronger.  Not at the pace that I wanted.  I was getting slight muscle definition.  Not the big improvements I knew I could achieve.  Then the light bulb came on. Maybe there was some wisdom behind drinking protein shakes.  It did make sense, now that I thought about it.  In order for my body to really grow and build it needs supplies. That’s when I started drinking protein shakes.  They have taken my performance levels from being so-so to feeling like a real athlete.  I like the added energy that I receive from protein shakes.  The fact that I’m also starting to get more numbers when I go out and hit the town isn’t a bad thing either.  Basically, protein shakes have upped my game in a way that was at lot easier than me being bull-headed. There’s a lot to say about determination leading to success, but if you got no gas in your tank you sure aren’t going to make it far.  Protein shakes have kept me running on full.
