Post workout shake question?

It definitely matters. Although muscle synthesis might not be directly affected by timing or whether there is or isn't an anabolic window isn't the only important thing when it comes to peri-workout nutrition.

Try different things and see what works best for you. I trained completely fasted for a few months because of something I read and I thought it was going great. One day I decided to try having a small amount of whey and carbs before my workout and I got like 3 extra reps on almost every exercise! Now I have a shake before every workout. If you feel like crap during your workout you are going to have a crap workout and your results are going to be sub optimal. If you feel good without eating, then rest assured, that the science is there that you don't need to blast a shake as soon as you finish lifting.

Everyone is a little bit different and if you are having crap workout, then dammit do what makes you feel better and you will have better results whether it is backed by science or not. Don't do something because someone tells you it's better. Do it because it works for YOU.

Im not being sarcastic because i may very well have missed something but i thought this entire thread was about post workout shake/nutrition ....and your post here revolves entirely around pre workout shake/nutrition ?? That being said there is def alot of truth in the last 2 sentences of your post.

Lol, you're right! Got a little off track, sorry. It was because of the quote from Alan or whoever wrote that and they are implying that timing doesn't matter at all.
