Post workout shake question

[vin01]

hey mm107 and vin01, got a question about your pre workout shakes. When do you normal have them, 1 hour before workout or 30 minutes before workout or a few minutes? I have never tried a preworkout shake so I would like to know the best time of a preworkout shake.
thanks

What I do is start sipping my pre-w/o shake about 15 minutes before I start lifting. Usually while I am making my way to the gym and while I am stretching, and I finish it (taking sips like every 5-10 min or so) about 1/4 way into my workout.

I am not sure about the best time for a pre workout shake, but even with the timing I am using, I do not seem to be as fatigued as previously.

Same as Vin. I especially like to eat heavy carbs as well before an intense workout.

but i do take my shake on the way to the gym, and try to finish it during my first workout.

MM, what's your PWO shake look like?

Pre workout: 25g protein, 25g of malto(i also try to time a carb source on top, example: picked up a pretzel roll and ate it on the way to gym w/ shake. One of my BEST SQAUT Days was after i had a bowl of oatmeal b4 the gym.)

Post workout: 50g protein, 25-30g of maltodextrin.

w/ Water of course.

I love my shakes, they are so refreshing after a real good day.

My goals are bulking right now, if i was cutting i would only take the PreShake no heavy carb source.
