Sure. Some People Sip their Post workout shake throughout their workout , others drink it half way through , or sip it for the last half of their workout etc.
Most though Save it till after their workouts ..
It's really up too you. Experiment and see what works best with you and your goals.

i didn't realize my question was such a newbie question.......as to invoke possible jokes. i have always heard that you shouldn't consume anything when working out because it diverts blood from your muscles to your digestive system or something to that effect.

At my usual gym one TIME out of the 4 - 5 times a week i go there, i see this big humunogous guy, probably late 30's or early 40's. He has a ziploc bag and some food in it, and hes eating it between sets. I ask him what it is, he says "chicken and rice". I mean..i dont know if thats good? but he loooked in great shape!

u r right just do the math...u'll be burning much calories during the workout if u drink the protein shake while u r working out u'll have a good chance to burn it as an energy source when ur carb levels are low ... also ur stomach will be busy digesting it because protein is not easily digested so u may feel dizy....
the only food that is digested easily is simple carbs and sugars....(fruits(bananas) sweets(honey)...u could eat those during ur workout if it's long........those have high glycemic index so they'll raise blood sugar levels imediatly and may help u to complete ur workout if taken in small amounts...but high glycemic index food is not good preworkout...only during ur workout also u could eat them post workout with protein ..because they cause an insulin spike wich will help carying amino acids to the muscles........

ever tried doing squats with something in your stomach, such as a protein shake? I can't find a reason you should drink one during your workout, you need to worry about a good pre and post workout meal to maximize your results.

Of course you CAN.....just up to you if you want to lol...I usually drink mine about 15 minutes after when I get home...dont feel like spending 3.50 on the small ones they got there with 35 grams so I make my own.

So he meant that you would be wasting your time if you didn't? If that is what he meant, he was wrong. I never drink shakes during my workout and I have no trouble putting on muscle.

You can have a pre-workout feed and a post workout shake (refeed) - thats practical nutrient timing. You do NOT need to consume protein during a workout. I wouldn't. Its going to interfere with hydration needs during exertion, and that may cause other problems. As pointed out, nausea during high intensity workouts of large muscle groups, usually in the lower body is common.

I drink water and/or amino acids during my workout. I use the brand ICE.

ppl who r so skinny and pure ectos sometimes be so afraid of using weight so they wake up late to eat and if they had a long workout they eat not to lose any muscles athletes drink shakes with lots of calories during their training not to lose weight but that won't have a big effect with u i think u better finish ur workout as fast as u can ...a maximum stay 50 minutes other wise i sometimes finish in 20-30- minutes and eat after it..eating during weight training won't help u because weight training session is not long .....athletes train for several hours that why they do this....if u feel lack of sugars in ur blood during training..here's what u should do........

1-eat before ur workout with 1 - 2 hours no more no less..........

2-don't eat high glycimic index foods just before ur workout..

3-drink plenty of water and make sure u don't have any problems with ur stomach before going in the gym....

4-ur pre work out much have carbs + proteins (take ur shake in it and add some carbs..i add a banana with the whey shake and sometimes a tbs of honey) yogurt is good also for pre workout

5-don't rest a lot between sets ..( if u do more than 5 reps u don't need to rest more than 2 minutes maximum, try to rest from 30 sec - 2 minutes maximum).

6-u may be doing many sets and exercises so sugar levels decreases in ur blood...

7-try drinking some water between ur exercises ......

8- fill ur lunges with air and breath from ur nose and exhale from ur mouth during rest peiods to help the blood to flow to ur muscles......

this will help u more than eating during ur workout ...
