When do I take my post workout shake?

[Smokescreen]

Ok, here's the deal. I begin lifting weights at 5am and finish at 6:30am. But I then get on the treadmill for 30minutes. Which means I'm finished at 7am and I don't get home to have my post workout shake until 7:10 - 7:15am. Do I take my post workout shake when I get home at that time??? Or do I take my post workout shake after lifting weights and then get on the treadmill??? Which of course that would really suck!!! Suggestions please.

I would say ASAP when you are OFF the treadmill. Might come back up otherwise.

duh...

people, why can't you be practical and reasonable about nutrition, morning cardio and premarital sex?

Ok, after cardio. But right after??? Or can I go home first ( which takes approx 10-15mins ) and then take the shake?

Takes me about the same time to get home, so I'd like to know too..

So about 45 minutes later? you could be goo doing that, its not a huge time differnece from after cardio and getting home.. I'd say whenever you want. JUst within and hour and a half after lifting

I always read that all you got is about 30 minutes after LIFTING WEIGHTS!

I put the powder (whey/glutamine/creatine) in my shaker the night before....then, I grap a gatorade or powerade at the gym and some ice....as soon as I finish my last set, I mix it all together, toss him some ice, shake it like hell and down it on my way home..........very easy.

Glutamine doesn't really do anything for recovery...
