Post Workout Drink...??

I mix whey with Kefir and coconut milk lol. Just switched out my yogurt for Kefir like a week ago, waiting to decide whether it makes a difference

I go with Mt Dew

+1 Works every time!

I used to take protein shakes post workout,until I switched it up a little. Now Instead of taking a protein shake post workout I try to get all the protein I need in with real food. Post workout drink is usually chocolate milk,Sometimes I'll have coconut water. I feel better now doing it like this. And the car wreck feeling, I know exactly what you are talking about lol.

Isagenix for this guy. Never sore. Never tired.

I only train four nights a week and I'm waking up super sore everyday, esp. The past month. I was thinking it was bc we've had so many big guys in class, but there haven't been that many this week and I'm still kicking myself to get out of bed in the morning.

Any suggestions are appreciated!!!

You can spend as much money as you want on this kind of stuff. Sometimes it can get ridiculous. Keep it simple. Take in some simple carbs immediately after workout. Bananas or some other type of fruit work well and then take in protein within the hour. This can be a can of tuna, lean meat, or if convenience is an issue I suggest Optimum Nutrition whey protein. A good cheap pw mix is almond milk, scoop of natural peanut butter, scoop of whey. I've used the stuff for years with as much success as the more expensive pw pre-mixes.

Supplements are exactly that. Supplements. Getting nutrition from real food will always be superior.

The guys at Nutrishop hooked me up with something called pro-7. It's like a chocolate shake protein mix. I'm sure it's not exclusive to them, however.

I'm a believer in eating hearty meals for replenishment.

Very true, you are what you eat.

The advocare one that brandon mc uses is awesome. I have been on it for about a month and i went from having trouble walking at work the day after a late night of training, to waking up feeling great. I work alot of hours at an auto shop every week up and down on concrete and in funky positions and anybody thats ever been to decatur on a tuesday night knows how hard we train, and it was really taking a toll on my body, but the recovery shake makes it all bearable, plus it tastes really good

I stick with muscle milk powder. Put some ice in a blender, half a banana, spoon of Greek yogurt , non fat milk , vanilla creme muscle milk. It tastes delicious and comes out creamy.

I read an artical in jiu jitsu magazine that said chocolate milk is as good as any for recovery.
