What's your thought BB/PLMike/DLD?!
I am a powerlifter so I have longer workouts than most BBers.
I eat usually 2 hours before a workout.
I drink Gatorade right before and during my workouts with bcaas.
I drink a whey shake with coconut water and creatine right after my workout.
I eat yogurt and fruit about 30 minutes after my workout.
I eat a full meal about 1.5 hours after my workout.

I do not like working out while "fasted". I find some simple sugars help my performance. I don't care about the extra 160 or so calories. I'd rather lift more weight.

If I were the OP, I would definitely have a shake before the workout but I would have less sugar post workout.
However, I don't think he needs 80g of vitargo before and 40g post. He could easily get by with half that.
