Protein powder.
I put that sht on everything
36 is a really small sample size
Was that guy acting, or is he normally like that? 🫣😆😂🤣
how does this correleate to the science of, not eating 2-3 hours before bed, since we dont want processes that is needed for digestion to be working when we're trying to sleep, what are the ill effects of that?

Idk if all this is true or not, but I use to lift 6-7 days a week without taking protein before bed. When I started taking casein and woke up in the morning I looked fuller and felt more solid.
I did it for two weeks, usually when I didn’t do it my body always looked flat and was more sore.
I guess you could try a decent brand that has both whey and casein for one scoop.
Awesome video!
This is so ignorant your body is trying to shutdown at night having digestion activities working Leeds to insomnia and future digestive problems
Simple solution, just drink a or two glass of milk before going to bed, you will get both whey as well as casein protein approx. 15-18 gram easily.

been doing this for 2 years the morning poop be crazy if u take to much 😂
Brain dead video. Boring 😴
So the question is should we consume whey or casein before bed?
Apparently casein messes with your gut microbe in the long run. Imo grass fed whey is good but food > protein supplements
The sound effects suck ass!!!
I just did a new study. Whey is superior for overnight sleep muscle gains.
The downside about taking protein before bed is that you need to get up in the middle of the night to pee. Which interrupts your sleep, I think this is worse outcome.
Which protein and casein you recommend?
Great info would that prevent fat burning during sleep? Thanks
I like to eat steak before bed!
I tried, but the combo of voice cadence being damn near monotone and that 80s LA rap beat, I can't do it.
The background "music" is annoying and distracting.
How many minutes before bed?
If you're older, the more you have before bed the more times you'll be getting up to use the restroom, ruining your sleep.
Wat is the background music beat??
Those protein drinks are loaded with sugar. Not good.
Great content. I can attest to the fact that Presleep whey protein intake allowed my body to gain and sustain body weight compared to in the past due to high metabolism.
The most anabolic protein is the egg, our body understands and works with real foods, that's why bodybuilders suffer so much in the gym, eating all the time, they can't say that supplements don't work, because people need to be deceived, these studies are false data to sell. Eat 6 lunch boxes of food a day and you will have gains never seen before.
Hard to hear voice with music 😢
personally, I've been doing this for 1 month on my own, only hit this video because i want know if its better or worse…. i work 12 hours so only have time to train after work for about an hour.. i wait 30 mins after to down a protein shake, eat, and then go to sleep another like 30 mins afterwards. ive seen major changes already. if only i could get a full 8 hours of sleep instead of 5/6 I'm sure there would be a lot more growth
Take a Whey/Casein protein mix. I take MuscleTech Phase 8. It releases protein for 8 hours. It has fast, medium, and slow protein sources.
No it doesn't, and it will ruin your sleep rhythm too, don't listen to these clowns 🤡😂🐔
Been doing this since I was 18. I'm 30 now
All it did woke me up to pee 😂
While its not clear if protein before bed will do anything for you, it is proven to increase protein powder sales… and thus this ridiculous video. Click above to buy. LOLOLOL
Bodys not resting if its digesting like crazy
High consumption of protein can harm the liver.
just smash the like button. Cheer mate
I eat 2 things of light and fit Greek yogurt in bed every night for 24 grams of bedtime protein. I can promise you it helps both with recovery and growth. I sometimes use this on top of casein 25g.
TLDR; Whey > Casein for pre-sleep protein sup… who knew!
What ever it takes to keep your blood stream full of protein/aminos !
I am more confused now than before I watched the video.
I always eat b4 bed.

I take 40 gms of protein after a workout and before bedtime,, and it made muscle gains a breeze
I heard mitochondria. Now, is that the powerhouse of the cell?!?!? I KNEW me paying attention in my high school science class would pay off! Now, if only I knew how to balance a checkbook.
So having a protein shake before you go to sleep helps build more muscle than not having a protein shake wow
great job
eating before bed is good for one thing, developing acid reflux diseases… this is why doctors always recommend your last meal 3 hours before bed. this information I am sharing comes from actual doctors, not fake news on youtube (don't believe me? go ask actual doctors).
if you want to do this, make sure it is 3 hours away from your bedtime!
Certainly can't hurt
