Post-Workout Supplementation

[MonStar1023]

I was wondering what is the best supplement stack to take postworkout? I am currently probably going to be taking...

20g whey protein
5g glutamine
10g of creatine
3g of arginine
200-300 mg. ALA

Is there anything else that maybe I should add? I am thinking about adding chromium and maybe a little more ALA? PLEASE help I need to take all this postworkout today!

drink a high glycemic carb shake right after a workout. Glutamine also will be a good idea

Where's the simple sugars? I would say up the whey to about 35g and get some dextrose (or maltodextrin) and use b/w 60-90g of it. Creatine here is a good idea. Glutamine, unless you're using glutamine peptides i wouldn't waste my money and take it the same time as the shake. As far as arginine, isn't arginine absorbed better on empty stomach? From what i've read, but i could be wrong, shouldn't you take arginine on empty stomach? And the ALA here i believe will dull your insulin spike. Not a right time to take ALA here. What you would want is an insulin spike, and nothing to dull that or modify it in any way.

I use pure honey as my source of sugar post-workout. Excellent for recovery and restoring muscle glycogen. Add 2 huge tbspns to your whey shake and watch yourself grow!

i read somewhere that the honey deal was more of a fluke than anything else. They had it up on the diet boards. It really didn't do all that it claimed and people were claiming better results using dextrose/maltodextrin.

didn't someone post an article saying that pre-workout supplementation was as important as post workout supplementation?
