Is it absolutely necessary to take them AFTER exercise? Or can I take them before?

    afterwards they provide amino acids for muscle repair etc.

    Before they can't do that.

    Protein Shake question as well:

    I'm looking at getting some EAS Whey Protein (I have a friend that works at Abbott, so I can get it cheap)... I'm just curious at people's opinions on supplementing protein vs. meal replacement

    Currently, I heavy lift 2 leg days, 1 arm day, and 1 bodyweight day and workout 5-6 days a week with cardio. I do fall short on my protein requirement, but was considering adding a supplement as either a meal replacement or in addition to.

    What are your thoughts/opinions in general? Thanks!
