I could do whey post-gym and plant-based every day regardless as a booster. Had to ditch my old whey isolate as it's too sickly sweet for me (sucralose) — I haven't got a sweet tooth. Not that the hemp, pea, rice mix is delicious, of course, but at least no sugar/other sweetener!

That's cool what brand are you trying? I'm pretty happy with this one thus farpic.twitter.com/YDnef7ZVol

My plant mix is Third Wave Nutrition (no sweetener or sugar) but the new whey isolate I'm eyeing up is by Pulsin: https://www.pulsin.co.uk/whey-protein-isolate.html …

I don't know if it was a blip but my DOMS is worse under plant-based. I have a feeling it could easily be noise though as I did a particularly good/hard leg day.
-
Is your one working well for you regarding DOMS? Many people with more testosterone than me tend to say they don't get DOMS as bad as me.

-
I've never used non-plant protein regularly so I can't make the comparison. As for muscle aches, I find the recovery time to be significantly less when my diet is plant based overall. I also get muscle spasms after exercise and using magnesium tablets helps me with that A LOT
-
Interesting. I don't get spasms but I do take L-Glutamine and BCAAs before working out which really help with energy during. Are you vegetarian?
-
I've heard good stuff about both especially BCAAs. I dont take anything else. I'm not weight lifting or even going to the gym. At the moment I'm only playing amateur league basketball
Part time vegetarian here. I do it for a few weeks then quit but my diet is mainly plant based -
Oh, but that's still a workout! Nice. I'm a full-time pescitarian 100% for 2 years (before that once-a-week I ate chicken, and before that I used to eat red meat). I do gym and bouldering and the DOMS from both was out of this world for months. Like literally walking like Kryten.

I should probably give some of these things a go, as I get tired easily with swing dancing and I've just started bouldering...

BCAAs are good too.
