Shakes during and after workout
I weight train Mon-Fri during my lunch break, which I generally start around 11:30. This is 2 hours after my 2nd meal. I take an "energy / recovery" drink to the gym with me consisting of:
- water
- 30g dextrose
- 15g whey
- 2g fat
- 2g CEE.
I usually finish my drink around half-way through my workout and drink plain water thereafter.
I also drink a post-workout shake consisting of:
- 8oz orange juice (25g sugar)
- 50g detrose
- 38g whey
- 5g fat (in the whey)
- 5g CEE
I then eat lunch around an hour later. Can anyone discuss the pros (if any) and cons (if any) of this approach? Thanks in advance.
I'm around:
5'11
198 pounds
12% bf

I only drink water during the workout.
I see no reason to be drinking a pwo shake during a workout, but to each his own.

A shake during workout seems like a waste to me. I drink water, and a small bit of juice to take my creatine with.

I actually guzzle down a small shake pre-workout consisting of whey (16g pro, 2g carb), 5g L-glutamine, and 5g creatine. I feel like it helps w/ energy level while I'm in there busting ass.

I eat my regular meals before the gym, and that's where my energy comes from.
