I use it for recovery. My workouts are often intense, and I don't carry much body fat. So after workouts I found I was often dealing with muscle strains, due to a lack of stored fats. Was constantly injuring myself. What essentially was happening, was that in trying to recover my muscle was not getting the protein required to rebuild right, and were essentially attacking themselves, instead of repairing and promoting muscle growth.

Started protein shakes, 30g plus 5g of L-glutamine in an effort to give them the nourishment they required. 5-10 mins after workouts. This can be done with food also. Tuna, chicken, steak, milk etc...but the process of breaking those down is not as fast as say a whey protein. Also, it is likely more expensive with those foods then it is to supplement.

Others use gainer proteins to bulk up. I don't have much experience with that, so likely someone else can help in that area. I tend to think for gaining, it can be done more with altering ones diet, adding fats and carbs, but as I say...no experience in that department.
