Here is an except I found from a bodybuilding.com for postworkout:
'After weight training with high amino acids in the blood and high insulin in the blood, protein synthesis increase by over 400% vs. normal post-workout amino acid and insulin levels .
The most interesting thing was that in the last condition, the post-workout beverage only contained 6 g of protein and 36 g of carbohydrate. As long as insulin was high and correct amounts of essential amino acids and BCAAs were present, protein synthesis got jacked after the workout.'
Remember there are 3 total steps still...
Increase glycogen stores
Increase protein synthesis
Decrease protein breakdown
Should I take amino acids and BCAA's after my workout?
