    Thats about right. I use the same 2 Now products with 55g Pro Complex. I feel great after having my PWO shake probably because I get so hungry after my workout.

    I use around a 2:1 ratio but even with a 1:1 ratio I didnt feel any difference. Id focus on total daily macros rather then just a PWO shake

    Waxymaize is probably the best, 50-75g...with 50g of protein...then an hour later eat a whole food meal with complex carbs
