I think the muscles need it most after a workout so it can assist in muscle recovery/recuperation. -------------- --JBennett "I've up-ed my intensity.... now up yours!"

Good time to take a creatine, glutamine, protein shake. -------------- The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary!
mrmagical Posts: 302 Joined: 2002/12/12	2002/12/28, 11:30 PM Ditto Carivan. Before and after. Some may argue just after, and this will work too. But in my opinion, both is best. so 5 grams b4 and 5 grams after?????
