Just Curious. How many people here take their post workout shake with the to the gym and drink there at the gym after their workout. I usually drive home after my workout and make my shake at home. I only live 5-10 mins away from the gym. Would it be a better idea to start taking my shake with me to the gym?
thanks
im 5-10 mins away and wait till home. sometmes in traffic i get pissed when these florida drivers make me late for it! but maybe thats a whole different issue...
15-30 minutes after my workout is when i take pwo shake.
I put mine in a shaker, and take it with me to the gym. I leave it in the car now, cause it is like 10 degrees outside, so it stays nice and cold.
the gym here at school is like 15mins away so I take mine with me and drink it like 10mins after the workout
Drive home..walk up the stairs quickly dump everything in fill with water and go..
I take mine after my last set.
I need to start bringing mine with me...
i bring it just because i usually stop at my studio afterwards and rehearse.
I wait until Im home aswell. Only live 5 minutes from the gym.
i drink mine after my last set.......
what are you guys drinking, now that a couple of studies are saying dex is that benificial? hijack sorry
Either Oats or a Bagel does it for me.
rice cakes and sugar free jam has been working for me.
I am shaking mine up walking out to the car....
There is a small amount of saturated fat in oats...is it insignificant?Quote:

I also have some sat fat in my whey...I know its gay...
Would a banana or two be just as good?
Sorry if this is hijacking...
I usually use a banana and either juice or a bagel. I used to use milk but I cant keep it cold at the gym, but I think I might buy a cooler and use that.Quote:

i either do whey/dex or whey/oats. i live 15-20 mins from the gym depending on traffic but i bring my shake with me cuz im that obsessive about the extra 5 mins.
BTW, NewKid, I dont think you should worry about the sat fat in oats. You need some sat fat in your diet. However, that question makes me think about the total fat PWO. If you are having 100g carbs via oats w/50g of whey (I'll say 2g of fat for the whey) thats a total of around 14g fat for PWO. That's a lot of fat...no? Even in my case, with just 50g oats PWO and 25g whey, it is 7g fat. Would this break the p/f p/c rule?

Bump, yea but there is still fat, and I am anal about shit like that. I don't think a little fat will hurt, but 7 grams and up would make me concerned.Quote:

The fat in the oats is not a big deal at all. You are not spikin your insulin so I don't see where the problem would be.
good to know...thanks G
i have someone pour it in my mouth as i'm pushing up my last rep. that way it gets into the fully expanded muscle. then i go tan :D
