How long after workout?

[speaker2]

How long do you wait before you take your supps after a big workout ?

I only drink a shake after and I do that right away

i don't drink shakes ever so the answer is never, how many times do you see some skinny kid do his workout for an hour and then run to the bar and scream "protein! protein!" .. i can't believe people actually believe that they need a shake after a workout, but that is what 30 years of marketing by supp companies do

you don't need to take supps after a workout. what i recommend is eating good fats after a fasted workout.

In my 35 years of lifting... Never. Maybe it's a US thing

You don't need to become super OCD about it but the sooner after your workout you can consume your post workout shake, the better.

The faster you get nutrients into your body the faster it can start healing and rebuilding the broken down muscle tissue
