When should you consume Post-Workout drink?

[DavePeters]

I know alot of people advocate drinking your post-workout drink as soon as you finish training , as the the insulin released will negate the cortisol produced during the workout . But this is what i have a problem with as the the insulin will also negate the growth hormone released during training.

What is the answer to this?

 

[Babyfaced Assassin]

Glucose or Maltodextrin/Dextrose mix
Hydrolised whey or Isolate
BCAAs

those are most important

If you want add:

Creatine
ALA

Babyface , my question was not WHAT it was WHEN.

From : http://www.medical-library.net/sites/framer.html?/sites/_human_growth_hormone_(hgh).html

"Now, let us talk about the most powerful way possible to increase growth hormone release: exercise. Vigorous, sustained, anaerobic exercise causes the release of growth hormone, as every serious body builder knows well.

There is one way to block the release of growth hormone, even in the presence of this type of exercise, and that is carbohydrate intake. For maximal effect, body builders consume pure protein, no carbohydrates, and pump iron to exhaustion. (I am not suggesting you do that, only making a point.)

To get the best HGH release, use of the largest muscles in the body is best, namely the lower extremities. A body-builder favorite is to place a heavy barbell on the shoulders and do repeated squats. They do not reach for the sport drink after that because the infusion of carbs wipes out the HGH response."

The best time to consume your PWO is immediately following your workout. There is a small window where it is most beneficial (around 30 min +/-)

followed by your PWO (carb/protein) meal about an hour (+/-) after your shake

i couldn't find the article of your link
but it sounds like the ingestion on ONLY CARBS is what affects gh output
your post workout shake should be carbs&protien
if i remember right, the gh output is triggered durring the extensive sets, not after
so wait 10-15 minutes after your workout and then down your shake

d3 track for some reason the link doesn't add the final hgh).html
click on it add then just add the (hgh).html on and it will work

I mix 2 scoops whey with 2 cups 1% milk a banana and a tablespoon (or a bit more) with peanut butter. Is this good enough (carbohydrate wise)? If not, how do I get maltodextrin/dextrose or glucose in it? Do I need to get a powder, or is there food that will be enough? My creatine has glucose but I cycled off for a while, so now its just the above mentioned shake.

IMO - dump the banana, milk and peanut butter - just go with protein powder, and a 50/50 mix of malto & dextrose - im not sure that you need or want the fat in your post workout shake

malto and dextrose are in powder form?? if so, the 3 powders would be mixed together in water rather than milk?
