Postworkout-Shake

[vergon]

Hi Guys,
i have a small question about the usage of my Whey-Dextro-Postworkoutshake.
Usually i do 15 -30 mins of cardio after working out. Whats the better time to take it ? Before or after the cardiotraining ?
Thx for help

I would take it before the cardio

Thx so far. More opinions pls !

If you are doing cardio to burn fat take the shake after the cardio

^ yup, just what daniel said.

personally i take mine instantly after my workout no matter what.

i take 8oz water with 1 scoop protein whey before my cardio and
2 scoops + 8oz milk after a weight session + 1 gatorade for some quick carbs and sugar for insulin

cutting or bulking

drink your shake after cardio

if your really concerned about "muscle loss" have some bcaa's prior to cardio

Second that, it depends a bit on your total trainings time. You dont wanna stay too long in a catabolic state. You could always, if you have the time, do your cardio on off days or at least 4 hours (or more) after your weight training

Milk contains casein. Casein is absorbed slowly -> Casein slows the absorption down. After workout you need the protein fast, with raised insulin level caused by the quick carbs. So I would say NO to milk just after workout.

Say if you think I'm wrong, there has been a lot of arguing and conversations about this thing.

I will say i think you're right. Because you are.
