Just curious as to what you guys take for a post workout supplement. I'm sure some of you will say chocolate milk is the best thing for you. I've tried that, along with tons of other stuff and I think I finally found one that actually works. 2:1:1 by Optimum Nutrition is unbelievable and works almost instantly. Any one else use this stuff or have better luck with a different brand?

I take GNC Amplified Wheybolic 60 for my Whey. A 3 Scoop shake of it comes out to 60g of protein plus it tastes awesome. I also take some sort of Glutamine as well for extra muscle recovery.

one thing to look at is the carb
rotein ratio. It is a key component for a post workout drink. I just have my guys mix it with agtorade. Yummy

i take egg/milk protein shake with milk and a carnation instant. It tastes really good and the carnation has pretty good vitamins, plus the milk. I only ONLY take my protein when I workout, don't know if that is good.

Protein synthesis is a continued process..You've got to get at least 1g per lb your bodyweight to maintain what you've worked so hard for in the gym.. Muscle building takes place when you SLEEP. You don't do your muscle building so much in the actual gym in other words..
Then again, don't overdo it.. I've heard silly stories of dudes at the gym I sometime goto are intaking 300 or more grams of protein a day..and they don't weigh much more than I do..
I'm not huge in supplements, as I'm a whole food advocate, but.. I sometime use ON Natural Protein Matrix, 60g from several protein sources.
Watch out for those artificial sugars in your protein supplements people!
May explain why you've had a sudden occurence of headaches....
