PWO Shakes- help?

sbroyhill Posts: 442 Joined: 2005/04/06	2005/04/15, 08:29 PM I have a curious question about PWO Shakes After I work out, I take a supplement called Cell Mass. It says to not take any shakes for about 30 minutes after you work out. I have been following its directions, but after reading some other posts, I have a curious question about this. 30 minutes after my workout now, I take one Xplode shake which has a lot of carbs, and one Myoplex Protien Shake which has a lot of protien. Should I change this, or is this alright? thanks!

THATS ME Me and My Body are competitors... we compete each other for different goals.. supplements are Helpers.. not the Drivers of Health wagon

Which brings us back to the original question: Should I wait the 30 minutes after taking the CEE, or such I just go ahead and take the shakes? I don't want to dump the Cell Mass because it seems like it is helping a lot, and I have read a lot about the benefits of CEE. Why would it tell me to wait the 30 minutes? And I have been working out for about 7 years, but only recently have I been adjusting my diet and workout to a mass building stage, since I want to try and get bigger. Before when I worked out my goal was to simply not get fat :)

You want to take your shake as quickly as possible after working out. I don't wait less than a minute to cunsume my shake. chug half immediately then sip the rest for up to about an hour. Working out fo 7 years is a pretty long time, what would you consider your knowledge level on diet and nutrtition? Cause once you get that down your results will really start to show and you be able to shape and mold your body. gl
