Thread: Post Workout Meal- How Long Do You Wait?

I have my PW meal asap. As soon as I get home from the gym (about 5 - 8 mins).

You must live real close to the gym.

Yup. 15 mins walking distance and less than half that by bike (my current mode of trans.).

As soon as possible.

Creatine Ethyl Ester immediately, PWO shake 20 minutes or so later, then eat around an hour and a half later.

I eat my PWO shake about 10-15 mins after working out, then eat a meal 45-60 mins later.

i have a whey+dex+cee+glutamine+taurine shake IMMEDIaTELY after lifting. 50-60 mins later, i have a real meal.

Usually grab the breakfast protein shake immediatly after I finish up my morning cardio. If not then, 20 minutes later when I get out of the shower. Then a real meal about 2.5 hours later and on with the day.

I eat and workout at the same time!

Spike your insulin immediately after a workout, then 10 minutes later consume whey + CEE.

combine whey and fast digesting carbs for a PWO shake RIGHT AFTER lifting-then eat a regular meal 1 1/2-2 hours later

No, you need to spike insulin with fast carbs, give yourself 10 minutes to have insulin in your bloodstream, then drink whey... Then eat again when your hungry not exactly 1 1/2 horus.

You don't need to use High GI carbs PWO. Personally I use oats. Try what works best for you. Some people can use a higher GI PWO, and some people may not like the results.

Ive been reading up on PWO. And I read this article on 'Optimum Nutrition Timimg' and I now do as it said. PWO shake immediately after: Whey+simple sugar(very high gi) example 35g protein, 70g dex. 30mins later medium-high carb n lean protein, example white rice and chicken - 30g protein and 60g carb. 1hr later medium-low g.i carb and lean protein plus a small amount of efa. E.g. Whey, Sweet potato, olive oil.

You have a 2 hour window of oppurtunity after a productive Resistance WO. Make the most of it, If you are young and are trying to bulk up i would most definately reccommend it ive tried it 3 time now and after the third meal i must admit I feel quite full but I don't seemed to have gained any or much fat and my weight is still slowly climbing.

Give it a try and enjoy the results
