Post-Workout Drink

In my opinion the post workout drink is one of the most important and essential steps in bodybuilding. It helps the body recover from a hardcore workout, replenish glycogen stores, repair muscle tissue, reduces post-workout soreness, raises testosterone and growth hormone levels, and reduces cortisol levels.

The recommended window is 30-45 minutes after your workout but the sooner nutrients are consumed and absorbed, the sooner the body can go from a catabolic (muscle destroying) state to an anabolic (muscle building) state. It is for this reason that a liquid meal is preferred to solid food because it is digested and absorbed quicker than solid foods.

I use Anator p-70 as my post workout drink. It has a good carb to protein ratio and it taste good. So make sure you drink a post workout shake to give your craving muscles the nutrients it needs to grow!
