Thread: Need help with what protein to use after workout?

hey all, I am a little confused with which protein i should go with after a work out. (If this matters I am also trying out a insulin kick after). Ok so here are my choices:

prolab enlarge2 55g
synax necar 26g <-- i think
nitrotech-20gs

thanks for your opinions

All of these are ok really. The main thing after a workout is a good whey protein and some simple carbs. Depending on bodyweight and goals, somewhere between 30-60 g of protein and 60-120 g of carbs is what to shoot for.

I use Syntrax Nectar and white rice most often.

If those are your choices, the Syntrax is the best because it is whey isolate which is absorbed very quickly. If I may make a reccommendation, I love VP2 by AST, it is a hydrolyzed whey isolate, probably the quickest absorbing protein around, perfect for postworkout.

well my body weight is 150 and my goals are to be 165 solid /rip which will take some time.

oh just in case you are wondering why i have so much protein is one i usually just have enlarger but i wanted to try nectar, so i bought that and today my friend decided he is not going to use protein and just eat alot, so he gave me his nitrotech.

VP2 is excellent, no doubt, but the damn Nectar is so addicting!!

another vote for vp2, I definitely have better gains using an isolate. You can get 2 2lb jugs for 49.95 at fitrx.com
