Golden Hour

"Every responsible source in body-building and atheltics recommends that you eat after training, and preferably within 45 minutes (or even an hour) after a workout. This period, known as the golden hour, is when the muscles absorb the most nutrients and when glycogen, an energy reserve in your muscles, is replaced efficiently."

I read this and was surprised how important it is to get protein in after your workout. Has anyone else heard anything about this?

I've been having a Myoplex Lite bar after my workouts. What does everyone else have for protein after their workout?

Yes!
Right after workout you should take proteins and creatine. Also if you really want to "grow" some carbs would be great.

I used to take Myoplex bars after workouts but now I use VP2 from AST. Feed the muscle after the workouts!

Why did you stop taking Myoplex?

I've run out of it Smile

IF the Myoplex works for you continue to take it. I am always looking for low carbs proteins and VP2 seems good for me.

That's an interesting reason to stop taking it. Wink

Are there any other reasons?

Oh and if you ever want a free sample of the Myoplex Lite you can go to www.eas.com and enter the code 4MYO.

Thanx for the code. Myoplex is a good protein, I just wanted to try the AST2 becouse I've heard good things about it.
