Vit C can help your energy levels, and in extreme doses even aid in fat loss. People on here take between 6-15g/day for these purposes. Make sure you aren't using ascorbic acid, b/c it will make you shit yoohoo.

Straight whey protein after your workout. It is good to mix dextrose, or some sort of simply carbs in with it because it will spike your insulin levels and increase protein absorption. 80-90g dextrose with 40-50g whey.

Use our sponsor on the board here and you can get 10lbs of whey for like $43, doesn't taste half bad, and is pretty good quality.

You can take the pills, but you will probably be swallowing a lot of pills. Just get some flax and mix it in with a chocolate protein shake, tastes good. I take about 1.5-2 tbsp of flax.

it depends on what you are looking for, what are your stats? Muscle milk contains a lot of fat and carbs. If that is what you are looking for then you are good to go, if not there are many other proteins that are much lower in fat and carbs.

im looking to put on mass. any suggestions much appreciated? what about the isopure 2 times a day. one am and one 30 min prior to workout?

[ckyass]

you dont want to drink muscle milk after you workout, You dont want any fats as it will slow down the absorbtion of your protien and carbs, defeating the purpose of the pwo shake

[truck17]

so whats a good brand to have pwo? isopure carb free? i like there flavors. that a good one?

[RANA]

I like optimum nutrition 100% whey protein

[ckyass]

ON 100% whey with 40 grams dextrose and 40 grams malodextrin. Thats what i take for pwo shake.

[Anti]

I think you should look into using Cytosports Cyto Gainer for pwo for trying to gain.

[SNUKA]

def like cky says i used ON chocolate mint its the best shake ive ever tasted and adding the dextrose helps aid in recovery

[truck17]

not sound like a total dumbass but whats dextrose

[ckyass]

its a simple carb/sugar, you can get it at bodybuilding.com type in dextrose and NOW foods has a 15 lb bag of it for cheap.

If you are doing Whey and Dextrose for PWO then use 2:1 ratio Dextrose:Whey, example 80-100g dextrose for 40-50g Whey
