But I like to use it as a back up along with a few dextrose tabs to keep the capillerys flowing with aminos. The princible for me is to feed the muscle as it is required I also believe that this aids recovery.

WHOLE FOOD MUST BE YOUR PRIOR SOURCE OF PROTEIN, NOT PROTEIN SHAKES. I WOULD SAY I AM NOT AGREED, NOT THAT IT IS BAD, BUT I THINK IT IS BETTER TO HAVE A BIG CHICKEN BREAST OR A CAN OF TUNA

The optimal times for protein supplementation are postworkout, because of the need for optimal uptake and absorption and maybe in the morning first thing, same basic reason. Of course, if you are working and the choice is a protein shake or nothing - take the shake. -------------- Vision without action is a daydream, Action without vision is a nightmare. -- Japanese Proverb --

wrestler125 Posts: 4,619 Joined: 2004/01/27	2005/03/08, 09:52 AM kakaroto: I agree with you, actual food is much more important, but if your going to supplement, than those are the best times to take it
