Ive been takin them for a few weeks now and i was wondering if it would do anything if i took protein drinks before my workouts... I know to take them after as i always do but I've also been told to take them before a workout. I see everyone here say take protein drinks after a workout yadda yadda and i was just wondering if it would do anything if i took them before a workout as well?

Lots of research seems to back this up, then pure whey post workout of course. -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.... bb1fit@freetrainers.com
