If you are on a gaining regimine, then a shake if you wake up during the night is a good idea. I keep one made in the fridge, and if I wake up(I don't purposely wake up for it though), I chug it down and go back to sleep. -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.... bb1fit@freetrainers.com
