Yes, it looks like a good post workout shake. If I remember right it tastes like ***** though, not that it matter too much for a post shake.

Here?s a post workout shake I order from proteinfactory.com
33% Hydrolyzed whey 520
33% Dextrose
33% Maltodextrin
You could also add glutamine peptides, it?s a mixture of both malto and dextrose to get the most sufficient absorbtion into your body the quickest. You could also add some BCAA also like 5-7%.

mrunknown: yeap looks pretty good to me.

yo DcK, im thinking about getting a post-workout mix from protein factory, but im not sure what sweeteners/taste to use.

since uve tastes their stuff b4, what do u recommend for a good tasting shake?

[mrunknown]

so should get it, it would actually save me money so i wouldnt have to buy creatine and glutamine

[RainerG9]

well, as a post-workout shake its fine, but 2.5 grams of glutamine arent gona do that much of a difference. if ure gona supplement properly with glutamine, u have to take a lot more, so i would invest in a glutamine supplement.

ofcourse this depends on your goals. if ure cutting, i would definately recommend getting some glutamine on its own and supplementing with that. 2,5 grams wont help. if ure bulking, maybe u dont need to supplement with glutamine at all (take a look at the thread "Glutamine while bulking" to see what everyone else's opinions are on glutamine's effectiveness on a bulk)
As for creatine,5.5grams a day are enough, theres no need to buy creatine seperately.

well id order from potein factory but its to confusing with all the different powders and fromulas and either way im bulkin gi guess i dont need the glutamine

On the above I just add some Vanilla and it tastes fine. They have chocolate, if you prefer. Some of the shakes I've had them make I've added Sucralose and a flavoring as well, on the lower carb type of shake, you know, and they taste okay. Taste is a weird thing, I've gotten to the point I can almost choke down anything. :D One of my favorites is the Muscle Milk, yet some bro's I recommended it to don't like the taste? Just make sure you order just 1 lb., it'll come in a well sealed plastic baggy, and if you like then you can always order more. PF is great quality, second to none and you know exactly what your getting.

Yea, get it try it, it has sufficient creatine, and the ratio's of carbs to whey is okay, it'll work good for post-shake. I take glutamine 10g in morning and 10g at night, so I wouldn't rely on the lava for an adequate dose of the glutamine.

[RainerG9]

ok thnx a lot for the advise DcK

[I Need Help]

I think I'm gonna give this post w/o shake a try. But for bulking purposes, do you think I should get a pure whey shake and some creatine separately or this post w/o shake would be just fine?
Would I get the same, better or less results???

[LAM]

that would be a good shake to use post workout while on a cut. it has some sugars but not enough to spike insulin and halt lipolysis

[Shao-LiN]

What would you say is the best amount of carbs to consume pre/postworkout on a cut?
