Protein shakes...20 min. from what pt.?

itsthefriendly Posts: 14 Joined: 2004/11/15	2005/01/14, 03:32 AM I've always wondered, and have always wanted to ask, but kept forgetting to: Say I warm up for five-10 minutes, work out with weights for about 35 minutes (no breaks--kind of a circuit training thing, but with more sets), core exercises on a mat for about 5, and then stretching on a mat for about 15. When should I have my protein shake...within 20 minutes of finishing weights, or core exercises, or stretching? Thanks for your input...

Dextrose 5 min. before your workout is a waste and not advisable. Just eat a good solid high protein/complex carb meal an hour or so pre training. -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.... bb1fit@freetrainers.com
