Pre/post workout shakes good?

[Dunimous]

Hey guys I was just wondering if my pre/post workout shakes were good. And is there anything I could do to make it better??

Preworkout----(about 30 min before)
1 scoop ON's whey
1 scoop muscle milk protein
1 scoop of albertsons brand oats(about 30 carbs)
1/2 a banana
2-3 strawberries
little tablespoon of peanut butter
liquid for mixing - Milk


Post workout----(8-15 minutes after)
1 1/2 - 2 scoops ON's whey
1/2 - 1 scoop of muscle milk
1 scoop of oats
1/2 a banana
2-3 strawberries
some gatorade powder(for dextrose)
liquid for mixing- milk or gatorade


ANy help would be great.... Thanks!

(I know there have been many post about this I would just like to know how my shakes look)

Your preworkout shake is okay, I think you should be taking your oats with the muscle milk about an hour before you train though.

Then just down some whey before you workout.


Lose the fruit in your postworkout shake and replace it with some dextrose. You want nutrients to get digested as fast as possible post-workout.

The things that stands out to me is that you are having a lot of fat in your post-wo shake from muscle milk and natty pb. Ideally, you want to limit fat post-wo. You also need more carbs post-wo. Aim for a 2:1-4:1 ratio of carbs to protein. Try something like this instead...

-20-40g of protein from whey
-40-80g of carbs from oats, dextrose, or fruit(or any combo of the 3)

Definately get rid of the peanut butter in the post workout shake. It will slow down gastric emptying and nutrient absobtion.

Also, I would replace some of the protein with carbs.

Sounds good to me.

yea, you lost the fat PWO and added more carbs so it should be a lot better. try it out and see if it works well for you.
