Post workout drink

Do I need to add anything else besides maltodextrin and whey protein to my post workout drink?

I have read numerous times that a 50/50 mix of dextrose and maltodextrin was better than either one alone. I have just started adding BCAA to my post workout mix for better recuperation even though i know whey protein contains BCAA's. The added BCAA's act like hydrolized whey in that they are absorbed quickly. There is a good post workout mix article on Avantlabs.com sight in their big motherf**cker online magazine.

immediate Post workout: Glucose (50gr), Whey hydrolysate (25-50gr), 10gr Glutamine, 10gr Creatine, BCAA's.

~2hrs later: Maltodextrin (50-100gr), Casein/Egg/long acting protein (30-50gr), 2-300 mg R-ALA.

This way you get fast acting carbs/protein right after w/o, then some longer acting carbs/protein an hour or two after. Been working awesome for me. you def want to hit your body twice in the 2-3 hours immediately after your workout.....as well for the few hours after that, since that is when you will benefit most from all that protein and carbs.

I agree

Is ProALA by Prolab the same as R-ALA?

R-ALA isn't available by any of the big name companies, or most of the smaller companies for that matter. i know you can get it at anabolicfitness.com. But you can use regular ALA, like by prolab.......but you'd have to triple the R-ALA dosage. for instance, i am using about 1000mg or R-ALA, so if i used ALA i would need to be getting around 3 grams to match the R-ALA dosage. If you get it cheap enough, just use more of the ALA. But the R-ALA is pretty cheap if you factor in the lower dosage.

i go with malto / dextros and then whey

after about an hour or so i eat as much protein as i can (keeping fats low and some carbs)
