After!

Within the first hour after you workout there is a window of opportunity when your muscles respond the best to protein. This window is at it's widest immediately after a workout and starts to close the further away from the workout you go. This does'n mean that getting protein in your diet through out the day is a waste of time, I'm just saying that your muscles use protein more efficently within the first hour after a workout. Also within that first hour you need to make sure that you get some carbs in as welll so the body can replace the glycogen it lost during the workout.

If you build it they will come

I totaly agree with Large on this one.

If your going to do any Protien shakes, after your workout is the best time.

I also agree, I drink mine 1/2 hour after. I also supp with a homemade protein bar for a snack during the day and a shake at night.
I should post the receipe for the bars sometime, there good and alot cheaper than the ones you buy. Just a pain to make.

never tried the homemade bar stuff. any good sites??
