protein shake after weights but...

Also - if you are doing cardio after weights - how long is your entire session? You may be undoing any good you did once you pass the 45 minute - 1 hour mark due to an increase in cortisol levels. -------------- Spoon feeding in the long run teaches us nothing but the shape of the spoon. -- E.
