Mid workout shakes?
How many of you guys use MID workout shakes?

I was thinking of using Xtreme formulations "ICE" as a mid workout drink. Thanks.

mine is similar to Milwoods, however I use a 2:1 mix carbs/protein as well. Ice is a good supp. I aslo take some type of creatine during workouts.

Watered down Gatorade or just water during. Drink a Pre WO shake with oats and protein blend. No Post WO shake usually, I stick to whole foods as much as possible.

how do you like using mainly whole foods Post Workout BP?

Have your results changed drastically? I currently use a pre and post WO shake and about a half hour after the PWO shake I eat a meal (usually oats with raisins)...but I have been thinking to switching to a pre and during workout shake and whole foods PWO since im always STARVING after a workout.

regards,
COTC

Strength Systems Protein Ice drink during (40gm). I follow it up with relatively high GI carbs right after the workout.

Then an hour or so later I do the meal.

An hour before I eat oatmeal.

I like it. Have not seen a difference in recovery, strength or weight gain. I just feel more satisfied after eating real food. I only use shakes when low on time and limit them to 1 a day if I can.

I usually drink 2 scoops of whey protien in 16oz water w/10g BCAA's, 5g Taurine and 25g Dextrose as my during workout shake. Since Ive been doing this, I havent used a PWO shake - just hit up some good whole foods when I get home from the gym.

I take a bottle of gatorade and mix in 5 grams of BCAA Xtend. I drink that mix over the course of the workout.

I've got my own EAA mixture with Dextrose and Sucrose (basically replicates Vendetta).
I add in diarginine malate and lysine.

I would use a pre and/or during workout shake if it didnt irritate my stomache to train like that. I can get away with it if Im training delts, or arms, maybe even chest. But if I train quads, hams or back with much of anything in my stomach I will most likely either throw up, or be so close to throwing up that I have to rest in the middle of the workout and ruin my flow. Sometimes I'll do the pre workout, if I feel that my last meal was to long before the session (ussually part of a shake.) And I used to always do the during and after shakes. Now it depends on the pace of my workouts. Faster paced higher volume workouts make me get sick to my stomach with anything in it, but when I do the 3 mins rest per set styles I can pull it off as long as its not on a squat or deadlift day.
