Need post workout energy/muscle shake... Ideas?

Jeryd Leuck · 06-14-2006, 09:25 PM

Hello,
I am going to be having some hard days ahead and I am going to be working out ALOT during these days. I need ideas for a post workout energy/muscle shake thingy that I can take when I am done working out that will: Help me recover, give me energy, and give me a little extra for building muscles.

Extra points for creatine, amino acids or any other big words that sound cool.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Garrett,

Did the hair on the back of your neck stand up? :lol::rofl:

There have been quite a few threads on this very subject lately. Definitely hit up the search function and see if that might answer your questions.

I will probably get flamed, but when I am looking for a post workout "shake" and I am looking for calories and protien, I use a quart of 2% chocolate milk.

You get a huge protien carb bang for the buck. As long as you don't have a lactose or anti dairy thing going.

NO time to cook and use Zone/Paleo/fresh food? With apologies to Garrett, Endurox R4 30-60 minutes post workout. Best is still to time your work-out so that your next meal is within that window.

The worst thing about my diet is the occasional post workout shake. I use muscle milk, the bannana cream flavor, a half serving mixed with one cup of milk provides 37g protein, 23g carbs, and 9g fat. That is using skim plus milk though.

It tastes good and contains a little creatine in it (they don't list amt though). It's probably mostly sugar, but hey it's tastey and it's better than a coke.

If you can drink water only for awhile, let yourself stay in a stressed state after a workout a little bit. While I have not seen research I have heard that it increases the hormonal benefit.
