CariSma said:Recommendations in casein proteins? I understand these all break down differently and over different time periods ?
Yea casein breaks down slower over hours whereas whey breaks down much more quickly… but just like the post workout supplements it's not essential for bulking, you can get the same results without it. If you do decide to get it the best time for use is before bed so it can slowly digest and nourish your muscles while your asleep. I'll usually just make a shake and put some cottage cheese in which is casein protein. I agree with hungry4more.

Your body never and I mean never "needs" simple carbs.

Well yes, i guess i used the wrong word when i said "needs", but after strenuous exercise your does need glucose to restore muscle energy, and foods with a high glycemic index should be consumed… Correct? Especially when bulking, cutting is a different factor.
mr.cooper69 said:Incorrect. The GI of the carbohydrate is irrelevant, and timing postworkout is not necessarily more beneficial than at any other point in the day. The insulin spike postworkout is biphasic with phase 1 occuring on a carbohydrate-independent level (hence, only protein is necessary). You will have anywhere from 2-7 days to replenish local muscle glycogen before your next training session, so spiking insulin with simple carbs rather than consuming whole foods that are rich in micronutrients and fiber is unwise.
Aren't there studies that show increase hypertrophy and gains from simple carbs post work out though?

Good advice to follow. Concentrate on your daily intake meeting your goals. I tried the simple carb post workout routine years ago and found no difference.mr.cooper69 said:You need to dispel the notion of reductionist thinking and understand the big picture of daily anabolism/catabolism
