They definitely help, but they aren't miracles in a bottle. Post workout you better be getting in a good recovery shake & meal.
Animal Pak, good or hype?

yeah, the marketing material for all these pre/post products seems to make sense, but i like to here from succesful users.
I took today some sample that was given to me, a pre workout drink, another that i sip on during the workout, and another after he workout for recovery.
Other than that post workout i have a meal of chicken, then 6 hrs later i have a whey shake and a plain bagel....was wondering if the post workout recovery drinks in anycase worked or were hype.
well no my post workout meal is about 2-3hrs after, but the meal after that one (another 2-3hrs later) is the one that is a 60g whey shake and a plain bagel, so i dont do my whey until 5-6 after workout. I workout at 8:30-9:30am.
Im eating 6 meals every 2.5-3hrs.
Lol my thoughts exactly!!
You're on the right track man. I would definitely recommend 2gs of protein for every pound you weigh if you are really trying to put on serious muscle and keep your strength up.
If you really need a kick in the ass before a workout then pre workout drinks are nice. I'm definitely guilty of not getting enough sleep and then abusing N2KTS (low sleep tends to happen in college.....unfortunately).
But when I'm getting adequate sleep, I find that a whey protein shake right before a workout gives me good energy and fullness too. Need2 wrote an article on pre workout protein being more important that post workout protein if you want to go dig that up, that should help you out with that decision.
