whey protien

[mike14]

Is it best to take whey protien before you work out, or after you work out?

After, it's a quick digesting protein and provides your muscles with the immediate protein nutrients they need. Actually, post workout is the only time I would take whey. The other times of the day stick to slower digesting protein such as casein.

Actually. You should have protein in your system every 4 hours. It doesn't matter if you take it before or after, you just want to make sure that after 4 hrs you either drink a shake, eat a meal or both. I reccomend Max Muscle High 5 Protein Powder. It has 5 different, time-released proteins that stay in your system for over 4 hours total. Good stuff.

True to an extent but misleading regarding the question posed. Speaking of whey protein specifically, Newbie's post is spot on - perfect post workout protein for the reasons stated and that your body is EXTREMELY receptive to whey (with carbs) post workout.
