How do you do Post-Workout?

[Distilled Water]

There are a few different ways of getting what you need post workout...ie. protein, carbs, type of carbs, supplements, etc....

So im wondering how most of you guys round here do it, different for bulking/cutting and why you choose this way?

I tried to get all the ways I've heard of people doing it up there. If you have a diff way, or slightly modified let me know.

 

[Distilled Water]

I'll go 1st I like to get in everything immedietly Post workout, well I take my Anabolic Pump, hit the showers and then come out and take my Carb/Protein/Supplement shake.

I take ....
35-75gr Waxy Maize
10~12oz OJ
50gr ON vanilla Whey
5gr Creatine Mono
5gr Glutamine

 

[TheNinja]

I'm a simple type of guy. I do:

30-45g dextrose
20-35g maltodextrin
35g whey protein
3-5g creatine

that's it.

I adjust the amount of dextrose/malto on whether I'm cutting or bulking.

 

[thewilman]

8 oz Skim Milk
1 Cup Dry Oats
3 scoops of Whey 51g of Pro

As soon as I get home. If I have any, I'll eat a banana while I wait for the oats to soften in the milk and I walk the dog.

 

[rms80]

Immediately (like 5 minutes) post-workout:
40 g whey protein
15 grams bcaa
50 grams maltodextrin
5 NeoVar
I mix the Whey, Extend, and Maltodextrin all into one shake, and use it to down the NeoVar....

40 minutes later:
50-100 grams of rice or oats
40 grams of whey protein

This works GREAT for recovery (at least for me)!!!

 

[extremenergy3]

Immediately: Torrent

30-60 minutes later: Meal or straight-up whey in milk

 

[redhawk76]

lately I've been using a great deal of BCAAs, and maybe a scoop of isolate.

Then PWO I take a cap or 2 of GXR, drive home and have a large meal of egg whites oatmeal, perhaps fruit, and some almonds.

Just trying somethin new, liking it so far

 

[Skigazzi]

Immediately: 40g WMS 10g BCAA 300mg ALA

20 minutes later : 30g WPI with Creatine

 

[Rodja]

I take 35g of WPI with 1/2C of oats and some fruit (~about 25-30g of carbs). I occasionally use NaRALA for postWO, but I have not done that in a while.

 

[CDONDICI]

My usual order:

Supplements (Creatine, Glutamine, BCAA, vit c) + simple carbs

Wait about 5 mins...

Whey + complex carbs + simple carbs

40g of maltodextrin
40g of whey protein

Why would you eat oats right after a workout..
You need fast carbs, oats defeat the purpose of your post workout shake..

[DaveGabe24]

Why would you eat oats right after a workout..
You need fast carbs, oats defeat the purpose of your post workout shake..

Wrong. After a workout your body is in such a state of depletion that cocoa pebbles would do. It is a matter of what you're able to handle, which would explain why WMS is popular. WMS is an empty carb source and poses no additional benefits, but because it is so easy on the GI, many tend to resort to it.

Oats provide many additional benefits, and throwing a banana in really makes it hard to beat.

There's plenty of information backing this up, Alan Aragon has gone into great detail on Post Workout Nutrition. The whole concept of IMMEDIATELY getting carbs in, really is a thing of the past imo. People concern themselves too much with glycogen replenishment. First of all, to reach full glycogen depletion would require one to train the same muscle for 2 hours, and even then, unless you have intentions of using that muscle (or muscle group) again in the same day, immediate replenishment is unnecessary. The meal 45-60 minutes post-workout is 1000x more important.

 

[Gtarzan81]

I've found doing a whey shake with milk,with WMS if i have it handy) and what ever supps(creatine) right after. Then having a meal(real food) about an hour later.

The sooner you get the carbs the better. The time right after your workout is a window which you need to use with fast acting carbs/protein.
A slow digesting carb defeats the purpose completely. If you want a slow acting carb do it in the meal AFTER your post-workout shake.
