postworkout 50 g whey isolate with 75 grams of high g.i. sugar... then as soon as you can after that eat high g.i. carbs with about 30 g of meat... eggs are good because they absorbe fast... and then eat one more meal about 3 hours after you workout... moderate g.i. carbs and 30 grams of meat protein...

Pre/during workout is more critical IMO than PWO. If you properly take care of pre/during workout, than PWO is quite as important. A during workout shake will halt cortisol and get a jumpstart on protein synthesis, as well as give you more "oomph" during the workout. I drink 88g carbs/25g protein pre/during, and repeat the same PWO, but up the protein to 40g.

i totally agree that a during workout mixture is important... i was just talking about postworkout... i generally cant drink too much during my workout because if i do i get sick... i've treid before but i throw up... i throw up once in a while anyways from working out, so filling my stomach up doesnt help out too much... i drink gatorade sometimes because that goes down smooth... pre workout nutrition is important as well... lots of carbs 2 hours preworkout and about 50 g protein... tuna or chix...

You eat your PWO meal about an hour after your PWO shake to spike your insulin. Then you wait 2.5 to 3 hours later before you consume any fats again.

are you kidding? i eat at least 3 meals in the four hours after i workout... big a$$ meals too... i eat as many meals as my stomach will hold... i pound down my protein/dextrose/malto. and then an hour later i eat white rice or white pasta a banana an orange and a couple chix breasts and wash it down with some root beer then an hour to 2 hours later i eat a can of tuna and brown rice or wheat pasta with some cheese (pepperjack) and crackers(wheat).... i've gained almost 60 lbs in 4 years naturally... and my bf is around 8 to 10% now...

2:1 ratio of dextrose:whey protein for PWO shake, which should be within 15 minutes of your last rep for that workout.

BTW, i put on 60 pounds in less than a year.

[brew035]

hell yeah sounds good to me i only put on 17 pound this year nothing compared to 60. but hell the first 6 or 7 months i was eating like **** and drinking like a fish. Now im doing alot better but have more to learn. So keep all the good info coming.

Geezus, dude - that's incredible! I did not know that. What are you weighing in at right now, if you don't mind my asking?

[nsa]

I range from 180-185 lbs. @ 7-8% BF. I've been off all anabolics for a while now and im trying to get up to 195 naturally. Also my situation is not normal, i was 120 lb. when i woke up from a 2 month long coma. So it wasn't hard to put on that much muscle.

[nsa]

I was up to 190 when i was using anabolics last semester.

[prolangtum]

I graduated from HS weighing 125lbs. I was 17. 7 years later I weigh a solid 230. I gained about 80 lbs from age 18-20. I have gotten up to 250, but that was heavy anabolics, GH, and insulin. I dont plan on using the latter two in the near future. I was uncomfortable at that weight, and was huffing and puffing just walking around. 230 is about the tops I can hold without it being a detriment to my daily activities.

protein/dex for PWO, then for PPWO, 50g's of solid protein (ex. chicken, tuna) and a LOW G.I. carb like brown rice, or oatmeal. stay away from sugars for PPWO.
