An excessive amount of protein, in the form of a few daily shakes.
My brother is a swimmer, and believed that an large amount of protein would be beneficial to his muscles. I said that it wouldn't do as much, for swimming is an anaerobic excerise, and is mainly cardiovascular and used for muscle endurance.
So my dad says that swimming doesn't make you bulky (yeah, I got that, thanks dad) and works smaller muscle groups (I thought it worked just about everything.)
So, is the protein really doing all that much? I mean you wouldn't really send a bunch of distance runners out on a protein diet, and even though he is a swimming sprinter, I still think that there is a better diet out there, carbs or something.
If it isn't too much trouble, please provide a link...
