Thread: Shake before workout, steak after? Or vice versa?

Steak before, protein after. The liquid protein will be good right after your workout. Also be sure to get plenty of simple carbs right after your workout as well.

Simple carbs as in Rice, or Potatoes? What would you recommend?

Yeah potatoes are perfect, you got it.

Shake before, steak with carbs after.

I'd assume shake after. You want quick digesting proteins after your workout. The powders will digest and absorb quicker than the steak.

Is that a fact. Can you tell me the absoprtion rate of steak and whey?

I always workout in the morning so you may have to adjust accordingly. What I do is have a nice big breakfast. Most times several eggs scrambled in pure virgin olive oil, onions, cheese, toast and a piece of fruit. Go workout and while working out I love the gaspari super pump 250. Finish the workout and emmediately down my myozene post workout protein which gives me 25 grams of immediate protein. Get in my car and have two pieces of white bread for the instant carbs. Get home and have several chicken breasts and veggies. The ONLY reason I even keep white bread around is for the two pieces I have right after a workout. It will also help put some weight on you.

Depends. I myself don't agree with much red meat. I would eat something decent and light before workout, then do the shake immediately after, then the steak later before bed.
