I have no idea what you guys are talking bout, I've never experienced anything like that.
I've been sick for weeks with a cold and finally decided to break on working out. This will be two days in a row and it sucks, but it got to the point I was really winded after minutes. Hopefully I'll be rested by week's end.

Then you aren't doing it right gohei
Im with gohei on this, not sure how farts or poops are any different after a protein shake.
This.You've been sick for weeks probably because you keep working out every day for hours at a stretch. You don't give you body enough time to rest. It's the rest period which is when your muscles grow, not the time you spend in the gym. Working out while ill is the worst thing as it makes you even more tired and weakened.
Had you rested during that time (ie actually slept as well to recover), you might even have found you had put on some muscle.
How much protein do you consume and what kind?
does anyone have any favorite things they like to wear when they workout?
i am pretty much a NIKE head. i feel like i get a little more confident when i work out in my NIKE stuff
You too?? What kinda protein do you take?
Well, it varies, currently I use a whey blend from Nutrishoppe and the Six Star protein from Wal-mart. I usually just alternate as one of them is chocolate and one of them is strawberry. Right now, this is usually only once per day.
That said, I have been consuming various protein supplements since I started working out in 1995. This includes brands like EAS, Optimum Nutrition, Designer Whey, Isopure, BSN, GNC brand, and others.
The "dosages" have varied from 20 grams in one shake to 60 grams. Also, this has included various types of whey protein (probably 85% of the time), casein protein, egg protein, etc. I have had instances where I had two shakes in a single day, but that was rare.
That said, I can confidently say that I havent experienced any strange farts or poops or anything, and that is covering 18 years.
Ok again I'll explain my workout routine.
Monday:1hr treadmill with weight vest. 4-5 miles and 30-50 min chest
Tuesday:1hr treadmill with weight vest. 4-5 miles 30-45 min biceps
Wed: 1hr treadmill with weight vest. 4-5 miles. 30-45 triceps

I'm trying to get a 6 pack by summer so I'm trying to run off the fat. I have about a 10 pound vest on. My diet is usually 1pd of broccoli with carrots and apples and a fish sandwich. I think it's a good diet except I do eat a lot of candy. Not good.
I'm feeling well rested and think tomorrow I make my return to running.
