I'm primarily low carb right now, but still seek to take advantage of what insulin can do around a workout. My current setup is as follows:
1hr pre-wo: 1 homemade prot bar, handful walnuts, grapefruit
1/2hr pre-wo: 2scoops WPI + 5g Creatine Mono + 2 X-Force
Immediately before lifting: 4 scoops Anadraulic Pump
Intra-Workout: 12 scoops BC+EAA, 20g WPH
1/2hr post: 2 scoops Lipotropic
1hr post: 1 prot bar and full meal 1/2hr after that.
I never feel overtrained, I'm getting stronger, and I train 5 full-body routines a week. My peri-workout nutrition isn't everything, but I feel it does contribute a lot to my rapid recovery and steady progress.

They're all cheap basics really. The AP I got on the release sale at LG's website, X-Force I get free (wife's a rep), WPH I got for $5/lb (AMAZING black friday sale!), WPI was about the same price. Not bad at all... well within my supp budget.

Recovery is an improvable facet, just as strength and endurance. With sufficient nutrition and sleep, it's simple to build up frequency over time. I'm currently PL'ing 2 days a week and bb'ing 3.

I take in 2 scoops of ON whey 30-40 mins before working out, then a 20 oz Gatorade and 2 scooped of ON whey with 5 g of creatine directly afterward. I'm doing this to get protein and nutrients to my muscles when they are most receptive. I've tried some of the preworkout formulas and don't get much out of them other than gas, though I did like Jack3d...

At 250 you are BIG but my question is, can you absorb all that protein in that time span? That's 100g right? 100g of whey over a period of what, less than 2 hours? Can our bodies use that in such a short time span? I've contemplated doubling my whey post workout to 50g like you but want feedback from others if they think that is actually worth it?

i've read that the most protein ur body can handle at one time is 40g's, unless your on some sort of hormone suplement, ph/AAS, anything over that amount is said to be useless

While intermittent fasting, I will eat 100g of protein in a sitting. If my body is only capable of using 40g-50g of that, how have I gained 10+ using such a diet, especially while low-carbing and having protein as my main calorie source? And why is my recovery way way better with 50g pre-, 30g intra- and 50g post?
40g COULD be the maximum which is beneficial for muscle protein synthesis purposes, but amino acids are capable of plenty of other functions in the body.

Here is how I do it:
Pre-workout - Animal Pump
Intra-workout - Intra-Aid
Post-workout - Torrent

Dude, have you seen the supp facts for the new Size On V2? It's just a watered down IA that's more expensive! I couldn't believe it! It's a total rip-off!

I actually didn't look at the jug, just what was in the serving size, I don't remember many carbs, but could be wrong.... could mix it with the soon to be released RPG by MST
As I recall - 8g WPH, 8g EAA, 10g CHO, plus some other goodies like BA, etc. Not too many carbs, but like I said, I was using 3scoops, so it added up.
I've switched over to BC+EAA as it doesn't have the CHO, for while I'm recomping.

Seriously, give me more details. I'm vaguely familiar with intermittant fasting (eat stop eat from Brad Pilon). 100g at one sitting? It's just that you are using 130g whey between pre, intra, and post....it's...a....lot...of...whey protein.
Obviously it's working for you so please tell me more about your diet.

3 scoops? That is a lot of BA in one shot.

I fast until an hour before lifting, then eat the homemade protein bar, grapefruit and walnuts I mentioned in a post above. I go through my peri-workout nutrition, then have 2-3 large meals once I get home. Now that I'm recomping/cutting (the holidays were not kind to my gut), a meal may look like:
10oz Chicken Breast, 2cups broccoli, 1/2cup mushrooms, cilantro, salsa, sour cream and a large avocado.
I rotate my calories and macros from day to day, so sometimes I get 70g prot per meal, sometimes 100g. When prot is lower, my fat is higher (~40g per meal) and vice versa. All in all, I get between 3500 and 4400 cals a day, depending on the day.
I have one cheat meal a week, on Friday evening.
I eat all meals within an 8hr period, less if I'm particularly hungry.
I've found it's easier to alter my weight/composition with this method of eating, but I'm sure it's not for everyone. For bulking, I employed pretty much the same technique as I am for recomping; just used higher calories.
Meh, I take about 5g of BA a day usually, so I don't get paraesthesia hardly ever anymore.

I have a whole meal about 2hrs prior to lifting.
