Post Workout Supplements - Do it the right way!Post Workout Supplements are going to be one of the most important parts of your weight lifting program. I believe in post workout supplementation for building muscle. You can do pretty well with regular food, but I like to take advantage of the state your body is in by supplementing with a fast acting protein and tons of fast acting carbohydrates. If you want to take advantage of the post workout windows, then you're going to need some fast acting protein and some fast acting carbs. I like to use BCAAs directly after my workout mixed with Waxy Maize Corn Starch. At this moment in time, I don't think you can do much better than that for directly post workout. After that post workout shake, I like to have another one around 15 to 30 minutes later. I usually drink mine around 20 minutes later. This second post workout shake will consist of whey isolate and a 50/50 mixture of maltodextrin and dextrose. I think this will really set your post workout supplementation apart from most other programs or protocols. After the second post workout shake, I like to have a whole food meal with some complex carbs and some slower acting protein with not a whole lot of fat in it. I like to have this meal about 30 minutes after the second post workout shake. An example of a good meal here would be a big juicy chicken breast and a baked potato. Mmmmm. I'm getting hungry! I then have another meal an hour later. You talking about muscle building!!! You follow this post workout protocol and you'll be building muscle in no time. You might feel stuffed, but just do it and you'll be very happy with the results. The WLC Post Workout Protocol is amazing.
