Post workout shake

[btrizzyb]

I've heard creatine works well with AAS so I have been taking it with my post workout shakes. What else do you guys like to add to your shakes? Someone told me a 1/4 cup of dextrose is good to add, what are your thoughts on that?

[austinite]

No creatine or shakes for me...

You just eat right after your workout?

[austinite]

Only if I'm hungry. If I train late in the evening, I don't really eat anything. Just go to bed. If It's early morning, I tend to get hungry after.

Damn.....I'd eat my hand in my sleep. I've got a big hunk of sea bass waiting for me after my work out now.

I think it's extremely important to get in quality protein right after workout, and creatine and sugar is a great idea.

A 1/4 cup is a tad too much for me.

[Capebuffalo]

I've been drinking creatine bcaa and an instant carb powder during my work outs and then the protein shake post work out. I work out early in the morning so I've had a meal before the gym.

The shake is 800 cals 82 carb 62 protien 23 sugar and 1700 potassium.

It amuses me that so many people rely on SUPPLEMENTS!!!

All you need is food. Other than convenience, I really don't really see the need. Save your money.

You are right in a way. Do you have any idea how many meals I eat and the amount of real food? You understand that there are points in your day you need more of one thing or another. And the most efficient way is with a supplement. That's why they are called supplements They aren't made to replace food.

[Blaz Kavlic]

I only have one shake per day and that's post work-out. It consists of whey, oats, and a banana mixed with water. For me, one shake is enough as I get plenty of nutrients from whole foods throughout the day.

I eat over $200 worth of quality food per week, but I still have to supplement it in order to get the most out of the work I do in the gym.

There isn't an amount of food a human can consume that would yield optimum levels. That doesn't mean you're unhealthy, but there's a difference between healthy (in range, garbage RDA) and optimum, where benefits would be amplified with certain compounds.

Take your B12 serum from the average of 400 pg/ml to 4000+ and you'll change that statement. No amount of food will yield NO levels that actually produce outstanding results. etc...

I do shake right after.

WHEY
OATS
BANANA
Creatine mono

How do you get your oats to disperse throughout the shake, no matter how long I keep it in the blender they still sink to the bottom and are not drinkable.

I have basically the same always serves me well, I just have fast carbs instead of oats

[Capebuffalo]

Eqgg whites and Greek yogurt will be thicker and oats will be suspended. I've moved to instant grits over oats now.

[tattoo449]

I also have a shake after training. Protein and carbs. I'm usually kind of hungry after my workout.

[DPTUK]

Damn.....I'd eat my hand in my sleep. I've got a big hunk of sea bass waiting for me after my work out now.

Interesting that you should say that. What I am about to say is purely on my own anecdotal observations. I have always trained in the morning and I used to take most my carb intake for the day pre and post workout in the morning and early afternoon. However, I switched this up and now eat entirely protein pre and post workout and take 90% of my carbs late at night time and seems to work really well for me. I feel full of energy when I wake up and rather than making me fat weirdly enough it actually makes me lean out a bit more.

I don't do as many shakes any more as I used to. I eat a good portion of food before a work out (last night was steak, chicken breast, and grilled asparagus) and then try to get another decent meal post work out (last night was three sea bass steaks). Sometimes when heading home from the gym before I eat, I'll throw back a Quest Protein bar with the rest of my BCAAs.

The odd time I make a shake, I toss the following in my Blendtec and it pulverizes everything:

- rolled oats
- geek yogurt (or peanut butter)
- protein powder
- egg whites
- baby spinach
- almond milk
- olive oil

Can you expand on the reasoning for sugar straight after workout, is it to do with insulin and can you give an example please bud?

[CanAmBrah]

I've got a hand blender. What I do is put the oats in the big glass, put maybe a cup or two of water, then blend it for maybe 45-60 seconds on high till it's fully liquified, then add more water and the whey. Works great.

[Cuz]

I always believe in taking in whey pre and post workout. A typical day for me involves at least 2 shakes.

Changing your name to Shake Master Flex

[trigger happy]

I have a shake straight after and then something to eat about an hour after that

I'm lazy and have no appetite, so it's better then not eating. And I like that name.

I don't do shakes, but I absolutely agree.

I believe man the damn size you are lol, my kidneys would probably shut down though. That's a lot of shakes!

[Capebuffalo]

Look I do 3 shakes a day. But only 1 is the lazy man special.

2 are
10 egg whites
2 packets instant grits
1 Greek yogurt with fruit
Blend and drink. That's real food

The other is
8 oz milk
4 scoops Up Your Mass
Not real food. But easy in the car.
