Postworkout Timeline
Last night I didn't get a chance to take my postworkout shake until an hour after I worked out. I now reaffirmed the importance of the "twenty minute window"! My muscles are sore as hell and feel really weak from working out last night. I'm posting what I found works best, because when I do this I feel great the next day, and continue to build mass...
1.Within the first 20 minutes after the gym, drink half your postworkout shake as fast as you can along with your 10 grams of creatine.
2.Within the next 20 minutes slowly drink the remainder of your shake.
I'll use me as an example.
-First 20 minutes: I use 2 scoops (half a serving) of N-Large-2 and 1 scoop of VP2 which is whey isolate. I fill the rest of my shaker with water, not milk, so there's faster absorbtion. Along with this, I scoop the creatine directly into my mouth with a spoon and wash it down with my shake. I also take 1000 mg of vitamin-c for it's antioxidant properties. This process takes me about 5-10 minutes.
-Over the next 20 minutes, I slowly drink the other 2 scoops of N-Large-2 mixed with 1 scoop of 100% whey protein.
-30-45 minutes after I finished my postworkout shake, I'll eat a sensible meal. An example would be a sweet potato and 1-2 small chicken breasts. I go to the gym at night, so this would be my last meal, which would take me to about 8:30. Before I go to bed at 10:00, I'll eat a half cup of cottage cheese which has about 23 grams of casein protein. I used a few different sources of information to compile this timeline, which has always made a huge difference. It should give everyone an idea that postworkout entails more than a quick shake and boom you're done. :eek:
