Question: Can you still get ripped if you don't drink a protein shake after lifting weights.?
Answers:
Yes, a really easy way to get your body to look like you have more muscles is to tone them. Do this by lifting lighter wieghts than your use to but do alot of reps.Health Question & Answer

Yes, you most certainly can.

But please consider the following:
- You need a certain amount of protein to optimize lean muscle growth, and protein shakes really help with this.
- Whey protein digests really fast after a workout. Combined with simple sugars, you have a powerful recovery drink that should really help with long term gains, as well as immediate workout recovery. Please see my source, written by Dr. John Berardi.
- Whey protein powders are some of the cheapest protein sources around when you consider the price per gram. (A 5 pound jug of it seems expensive until you factor in how much protein you are actually getting!)

You don't "need" protein shakes. But they really do help.Health Question & Answer

Of course. It is the lifting of the weights, not the protein shake that builds muscle.

Protein shakes are a rip off -- cheap skim milk powder repackaged as as an expensive "supplement". Just eat food -- meat, milk, eggs, legumes are good protein sources if you think you need more protein.Health Question & Answer

yeah but it will be harder, your body needs protein to heal the rips you made by liftingHealth Question & Answer
