Serious Question: What Do You Do After Training?

[MoonWalker0]

I know this forum section is filled with experienced lifters so I thought it'd be the best place for me to post a question.

It seems to take about 60minutes for me to start feeling that "good feeling" I get from exercise, but I don't know what I can do during this 60minutes...

I'd love to hear what you guys do immediately after your exercise!

Thank you!

Sauna, Protein shake, home, feed and walk the dog, eat, then watch TV.

[Plateauplower]

Go to work, then eat breakfast.

[christos_swc]

Go home, put a refreshment, sit on PC, relax.
Half an hour later I weigh myself and keep track of my lean mass and fat on an excel graph to monitor progress.
I won't eat until I actually feel hungry.

60 minutes?

...Come up from the basement (gym), make protien shake (whey banana milk), drink that while I make breakfast (eggs and vegetables), eat breakfast, let the dog out, **** shower and shave, drive to work...

All that before most people are even thinking about getting out of bed. Haha

Note: a good pre-workout formula with no crash helps a lot.

Rub one out while listing to Taylor Swift songs.

Usually pop open a beer and browse the web.

I drink a protein shake and then get more protein in within the hour. Chicken or meat of some sort. I know the anabolic window has been debunked but it seems to work for me so I still adhere to it.

Get a shower, go to work, eat breakfast

[ajdahlheimer]

Protein shake some of the time, make dinner for my family, shower, then eat.

Leave the gym, return to your daily life and do whatever you want or need to do? I go home and have lunch.

[grubman]

Guess we are all pretty boring

[bodyhard]

Drive home, have a protien shake, take a shower, lay down watch TV till I go to sleep.

I was going to mention that I try to run over little old ladies and rob banks on the drive home from the gym, but it didn't seem wise to admit it.

Oh. Crap. Just did.

Train at 5 am head to work eat 1st meal at 11 am. tight schedule. I wish I could chill out after a training session.

[silverlightning]

during the week, go home and get ready for work. on saturday, go home and chill or go to work.

[PiperBill]

Go home. Take a whey shake and some honey. Make dinner. Perpare and log my food for work next day. Go into burned out zombi modus for a few hours then hit the sack. Rinse and repeat 3 days a week.

[crupiea]

I dont do anything out of the ordinary. I do take ice cold showers though but thats just my thing.

Then i go about my normal routine.

[Cantplankwell]

If in the morning... afterwards I then go to work and veg while trying to look busy, specially after a squat or deadlift day. If on the weekend in the morning I go home and veg..putter so I look busy.

Go to work, then eat breakfast.

^This. Morning workouts let me be consistent in a way that evening ones never did.

[lucia316]

I drink my magic muscle fertilizer shake within 30 minutes because if I don't all gains will be lost. Then I eat...

Wait, no. I just go home and eat breakfast if I'm hungry or start working a bit if I'm not hungry and then eat a bit later.

[doughnutgut]

Walk back to my car and pick more punters up.


Obviously as i am still in an enormous pumped state. I proceed to tell every passenger about my gigantic quads and glutes of steel.

If they are really lucky. I will let them taste some of my thick protein shake.

[ljimd]

Take a nap.

[MrNismo]

I shower, drive home, cook a massive breakfast and eat it in front of the computer while I start the work day.

[rimduglep]

Head to the kitchen, drink a protein shake w/2 cups skim milk and two scoops whey and five grams creatine, take my vitamins, eat a banana, log the workout in my thread, drink a bottle of water and begin eating dinner.

Wow, I really appreciate the replies!

Does anyone else notice it takes about 60minutes to feel that "good feeling" after exercise?

[marty6001]

Shower at the gym, protein shake in the car, drive home, walk the dogs, and then eat a meal at around the one hour mark.

[Kewbrah]

Run home, shower, eat breakfast.
