if casein is in milk then..........

[US-Marine]

Then do you guys take your immediate post workout shake with water?...........Considering casein is slow digesting and in that instance you want fast absorbtion What do you use?

personally i use milk in my shake, but what would be better?

The best thing to use for post work out is whey protein. But people debate is it better to take the whey with water or milk. I say it doesn't matter, because I mean if the whey digest faster than the milk the whey will digest then the milk will digest after the whey. Some people say taking milk with the whey will slow the digestion of the whey, but I think that is wrong. Thats just what I think. But for post work out the best thing to take is whey protein.

I use low fat milk to make my shake!

[CyberGod]

I use non fat milk and whey..1 liter of skim milk with a serving of 100% optimum whey...tastes great and so cheap.

I really doubt that casein will interfere with the absorption of whey....

[McMahon]

No its not the casein, its the lactose that slows digestion. Take about 40 grams of whey with 2 cups of water and then drink a cup of grape juice. Milk is good about an hour later with a big meal and right before you go to bed.

i use 2% milk...now granted it isnt the fastest digesting liquid in the world, but mixing it with water or milk should make no difference...thats like mixing alchohol and milk...the alchohol will still go to your head in 10 mins, no matter what you mix it with...

[jimi]

speaking of whey after workouts.. how soon should it be taken after? immediately? cause if im at the gym, i gotta get home to take it

[BigAssDeltoids]

well yeah i take it immediately after working out...

[Tom]

I hear you should take it 20-30 minutes after workout, while I have heard from others take it within 10 minutes after you work out. I would say taking it when you get home from the gym is fine. I think Arnold said though that it is best to take it like 30 minutes after working out. Then to have a big meal like an hour after that.

post workout, i mix whey in water, any other time, its with milk

the ideal post workout shake would have 40 grams of simple carbs(dextrose, maltodextrin, sucrose, etc.) and 50 grams of a fast assimilating protein(whey). taking milk with the whey will not hinder the fast absorption of the whey. the casein within the milk(75%) will just be absorbed slower. theoretically, the lactose(milk sugar) is a low glycemic carb and will not raise your insulin levels much, which(high insulin) is desirable after your workout, but will not negatively impact your post workout nutrition. and for anybody still unsure about it, post workout is the best time to take creatine for maximum absorption. i am not saying taking it before will not produce results, but the most efficient time is to take it afterwards. unless you're using the serum and you wont see results regardless of what time you take it.

got natural bodybuilding questions? ask ntrlmuscle

Bump on Ntrlmuscle. I take about 40 grams whey, 2 cups milk, and 3 TBSPs Honey for my post workout shake.
