I like...
80gm WMS + 15gm BCAA + 5gm Creatine

then 20-30 minutes later....
60gm of Ion Exchange Whey Isolate

then a few minutes after that...
1 cup of Oats mixed with 1 cup of frozen raspberries or blueberries and fat free milk.

then 45-60 minutes after that I have a regular meal. Usually steak and some green veggie.

How important is it really to have a post workout shake???

Wouldn't just having a pre workout shake with carbs in it, and then eating a meal soon after you workout be pretty much as beneficial? I just don't understand why it's so important to deliver the protein to the muscles as fast as possible.

Your muscles take a good while to repair, which is why we feed ourselves around 6 meals a day high in protein... So PWO is more important than all the other meals?

Just trying to figure this out, it never really made sense to me.

Anyone?

In the grand scheme of things a PWO meal doesn't add much, in the same way that one workout doens't add much either. But it's the sum of the small parts that contribute to the whole, if you get my drift.

After you've worked out your body is crying out for nutrients and apparantly can process more nutrients than it would normally, so it's a great window of opportunity to help boost growth.

Yes I recommend WM bc of the higher GI/molecular weight.

It is very deceiving about the sugars. WM is a starch not a sugar but a carb none the less. Research some more about WM on your own to discover how it works.

I would seperate the WM from the protein. The protein, even whey, will slow down the digestion of WM. The only things I would add to WM are BCAA's, glutamine, creatine, and water (crystal light for flavor if your WM is unflavored). then wait about 15-20 minutes and have your whey.

On cardio day only i personally dont take WM. it is not necessary.

GUARDIAN.

So you would recommend WM because of the higher GI...

It essentially is just throwing me off because when I look at the nutritional label it shows 0 SUGARS? Am I correct in this statement that its just deceiving because we are so used to using malt/dextrose and or fruit sugars?

In closing I can take 2 scoops of WAXY MAIZE and 2 scoops of Whey and have that be a perfect postworkout shake??? how bout on a cardio only day

i appreicate all the feedback and calrification.

Simple sugars are going to be more likely to be stored as fat than a complex carb like WMS. The idea behind the simple sugar as Guardian said is that it is absorbed quickkly and creates and insulin spike which will shuttle PWO nutrients to the muscles. I'm not sure what kind of quick effect WMS has on insulin secretion but I know it is very quickly absorbed through the small intestine.

Why would simple sugars be more likely stored as fat than WMS, if GI of WMS same as glucose.

Also, anyone add cocoa to their PWO shakes, as it has potent insulin effect

Sounds good. I'll probably have to try it out. I'm not sure if that will make it hard for me to eat the regular meal though
