    i just finished reading


    "Eccentric exercise caused significant muscle damage, loss of strength, and soreness; however timing of ingestion of carbohydrate/protein supplement had no effect."

    but then again...

    one study shows one thing..another the complete opposite...

    I have one after training, helps a lot with recovery , sometimes one in between meals. And always one before going to bed.

    Found out by my trainer when to have protein powder. She said after exercise roughly 30 mins at the latest best after 10-15 mins of finishing. Then eat within the first hour. Hope that makes sense.
