And another thing, iv been told you can have protein with/while you do a workout.. is there any point in doing this or is it a recommended option? if so whats the best protein to have for a workout? Anyone recommend anything? Not sure about this new supplement? I find that having enough protein in my diet and supplementing this with protein shakes allows me to recover fast enough. However, some people also use BCAAs to repair tissue and help with recovery depending on what type of workout you're doing. The best protein supplement for you depends on what you are hoping to achieve. For general protein the basic stuff at myprotein.com seems to do the trick and is very affordable. However, if you're trying to gain weight fast then you might be better off using something like Size On or another protein gainer. However, all this can also be done with proper diet in most circumstances. I have 3 protein shakes a day. One in the middle of the day, one shortly before a workout and one immediately after. It's always beneficial to have one immediately after as this is when your body will be trying to repair itself. Also, only take them with water, not milk as some people do as milk contains casein protein which slows down the absorption of whey protein where it's needed.

JtotheC Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 When I play football I always have a whey protien shake straight after and it really does make a difference the next day, if I miss one it takes me an extra day to recover. I get mine from discountsupplements.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jemson Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Green tea. And a snack that is carb and protein within 20 minutes of finishing your session. Also compression gear helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
