Protein 30 Min after?
- Thread starter Kman89
- Start date
You've got a good 60 minute window to take in protein and reap the benefits.
Some (Berardi) even suggest starting to drink a diluted PWO shake 30 minutes into your workout. I think the average person won't benefit from such precise nutrient timing. But an athlete would.
think of it like gas for two different cars... a Chevy (normal person) and a Porsche (athlete). the porsche NEEDS 93 octane...the Chevy only needs 87, but you can put 93 in it...however you won't get any better gas mileage or performance.

After my workouts I take a simple carb like 100% fruit juice and then follow it up with a protein shake. Any thoughts on this?
Same.
I walk to and from my gym which takes 30 mins each way, so as soon as start walking home I eat a source of carbohydrates such as an apple, and when I get home I down my protein shake. This way the difference between this and taking protein immediately after/during the workout is negligible.
I always have a supply of protein and carbohydrates in my bloodstream ready for my workout anyway.
Probably no real difference, but if you think of it on an best case senerio level, if you're body can't really start recovering from your workout until it gets the building blocks it needs, then you may be delaying recovery by a half hour. That might sound bad but it's pretty irrelavent to a recreational athlete as total recovery time might be upwards of 48 hours (96 times as long as you waited to get recovery started)
One thing I've noticed about pre/peri workout nutrition is that once your body gets used to it, it NEEDS it. In other words, if you're always sipping gatorade during your workouts, you'll crash big time if you try working out without it. I've noticed the same thing with postworkout nutrition, if a client is religious about getting their post workout shake, they really tend to crash after their workout without it. Hence, from a purely practical standpoint, I recommend going without on occasion for an hour or so, just to keep your body adaptable.

Protein during work out?
Hey man do you have the link for that article? Sounds pretty interesting
I read a recent article saying for muscle development and repair, they found better results in those that took on protein within half an hour of working out and then also within an hour after working out rather then just either before or after.
