Definitely water then powder. I've heard any other way denatures the protein because of science. This guy who's always in the gym told me and he's massive.
 
Youre (no autocorrection KD you fail) all a bunch of lady gardens. Learn to shake your shakes like a man and it doesn't matter what order you put stuff in!

It's totally down to laziness though as I do all my posting from my iPad/phone so it's a pain in the backside to find the stupid ' :)

Me.

I used to be like you, and then there was a good 75 posts worth of discussion about it on here, and I tried it the other way around.

Powder to water means less oats sticking to the shaker. That said, it's not quite as smooth. I get more oat lumps this way around

I'm an idiot, I was deadlifting today and had picked the bar with the knurling away from where your knees normally are and yet still managed to skin my knee on the very first set... :o

That aside everything seems to be going ok at the moment after a minor issue with tightness in my left knee, I've been doing some stretches recommended to me by a physio who goes to the gym and that seems to have helped a bit.
 
Couldn't think where to post this but thought the Gym Ratz IIFYM crew might appreciate it.

Mind=Blown. I know fast food is never gonna be the greatest, but at least in the UK a lot of the really cray cray preservatives and whatnot are flatout banned. Why the hell do French Fries need all dem dere extras!? An Antifoaming agent!?
 
It's because they're transported as a paste then squeezed into shape and cooked at the outlet.

What the hell do fries need beef flavouring for though?

My overwhelming memory of food in the US is that it all tastes sweet, and is somehow much more filling. Even the bread over there tastes like cakes.

To mimic the taste of frying them in beef dripping? It might be a long shot but that is the first thing that comes to mind.

Chris1712 - I don't know precisely what you were eating but there is a habit in the States of using high-fructose corn syrup in many items that really shouldn't need to be sweet so that might explain some of the taste?

That'd be my guess. Need to find a chippy that still do beef dripping chips. O NOM.
 
Fellas I just want to cry. First gym session in ~2 months due to injury and I've lost so much strength.

Struggling with 8 reps of 32KG DB Chest Press. End of December I was managing 8x40kg easily.

I'm putting part of it down to Twickenham yesterday and the copious amounts of Guinness consumed!
