Confused about PWO shake

[slob]

I was just reading bodybuiliding.com and I saw this:

In order for legs to grow optimally, you need two things: proper form, and high reps. What we will discuss today is the high-rep part of the equation, providing a leg workout plan as well as recommendations for leg day supplementation.

Leg Day Nutrition


You want to provide your body with what it needs to recover before, during, and after training. This does not mean you need to down 100 grams of fat-producing carbs. Thus, we do not recommend a pre- or post-workout shake containing carbohydrates unless:


You are a performance athlete who needs to recover to compete the next day.

Or


You are an ectomorph who has trouble putting on mass.

If you are like most bodybuilders and physique enthusiasts, you weight train for 30-60 minutes and do maybe 30-45 minutes of cardio. This expenditure does not require the post-workout (PWO) shake to recover and the spike in insulin will be detrimental to most bodybuilders' goal of being Lean and Hard. Well, Scivation wants to help getcha Big and getcha Hard!


What's The Catch?


But here is the catch...

We recommend drinking a combination of branch chain amino acids (BCAA's) and whey protein isolate (WPI) - pre, during, and post workout.

Scivation makes a product just for this called Xtend that contains BCAA's, Glutamine and Citrulline Malate.


I was under the impression that having about 40-50g protein and 80-100g of carbs in a PWO shake was absolutely essential.
Can anyone explain why the author posted what he did?

I was referring to MuscleTech only, using Hydroxycut as one of their
"featured" products that they write those 4 page ads about.

[SVTMuscle*]

Yeah I know what you were referring too, but they also now in Muscular Development talk about diff ingredients and have it add up to suggesting buying a product, and at the end they'll even say "We have no affilation with BSN/Muscletech etc"
