Hi guys!
How long before/after lifting should you take protein? I do the powder- not sure what the optimal time frame is. Thanks!

    Timing is whey (sorry couldn't resist) less important than whether or not you are getting it at all. Take it right after, 45 minutes after or whenever you can. People will talk about optimal timing with insulin/glucagon/cortisol levels but unless you are trying to be the next Mr. or Mrs. Olympia then worrying about the exact timing is pointless.

    Oh, okay. I wasn't sure if it was better for your body or something if you took it at a certain time. Thank you!
