I am a little confused. Should I drink the protein shake before or after the workout? I have the Myoplex Chocolate which contains 42g of protein. I usually go to the gym doing weight training and cardio 4 to 5 times a week.

Thanks for the help.

Make sure you add a fast acting carb to the shake such as dextrose, for the replenishing of muscle glycogen.

Do you buy dextrose separately and mix it in your shake? For anyone wondering you can make your own Celltech this way. (or Nitrotech, whichever one is protein)

Yup, I buy it at my local supplement store.

I mix it with my whey PWO.

Nitro is protein.. I don't understand how they put that in it, and it's still ass flavored. Oh well.
 
I've heard of some people taking it before and after? Any advantages of this, such as more energy before a workout?
 
whats important is that you have proper pre-training and post-training meals. fuel the workout and replenish afterwards. if you incorporate the use of a shake to do that, so be it. this meal or shake should contain protein and carbs.
 
I always take my shake after my workout, right after I take my Amino Acid...
Then another shake in the afternoon and one before I hit the bed at night...
