EAS Myoplex - Any good?

[MensHealthGuy]

Hey guys, I've been lurking these forums for a little while and finally decided to create an account. Anyhow I've been a pretty dedicated lifter for a few years and now I'm trying to get more serious about my nutrition and supplements.

What I do is take 2 scoops of ON Whey immediately after my work out (35 minutes of cardio, hour of weights) and an EAS Myoplex Original shake (again, with water) about 3 hours after my work out. What's the general consensus on the EAS products? Is there something else I could be substituting that with?

Save your money and get rid of myoplex. Stuff is 3 bucks a bottle. Just take your protein(whey) and get some casein for pre bed slow digesting protein.

you should just take 2 scoops of ON whey after ur workout with some carbs, like throw 2 banana's into the blender with 2 scoops of whey. you want the carbs right after ur workout.

after that shake u should have a meal, not another shake

do you do cardio before weights? i would switch that up so you can have more intensity lifting

edit:

for casein: i like dymatize elite 12 hour whey, you can get coupon to vitamin shoppe for 20% off also. they have more flavors than bb.com also

and like the post above me says, yeah take casein before bed. def not needed, but it helps me i believe.

Do you eat anything between your protein shake and your myoplex?

I eat a banana with my protein shake and sometimes a protein bar in between the protein and myo but not usually. The problem is I'm at school all afternoon so I just take a packet of myoplex and mix it quick in between classes.

If I start doing my cardio after my weights how do I incorporate the protein shake? Because shouldn't I have my shake immediately after the weights or it doesn't matter if it's after 35 minutes of cardio as well?

Whey only does so much drink it after u are done running and lifting. im in school all day mon-thurs. i take beef jerky and other little snacks with me or go to the caf and get a salad. Real food>Whey

Take the protein shake after your complete workout. If you're really cocerned you can look into intra supplements.(supps to drink during workout, ie..purple wrath, etc) Personally I wouldnt worry about it though. You do need a solid meal 1- 1 1/2 hrs. post workout though (3 hours is a bit of a stretch.) If you cant get real food due to scheduling, any mrp shake will do. Most mrps are expensive though, you can just as easy make your own. I have a link for just that, give me one second.

Heres a quick home made mrp shake. You can tailor it any way you see fit. Just get it in 1- 1 1/2 hrs max. after your workout. Also, try to make sure you have a good preworkout meal. (or shake)
