A: Brandon R doesn’t have a clue. That’s one thing you gotta love about this site, people can join today and answer 50 questions that they have no clue about (sarcasm).If you’re trying to maintain or build muscle mass, drink a shake with 1 scoop of whey mixed with water or skim milk before the workout, and 1 shake IMMEDIATELY (right after you set the last dumbbell down) after with 1 scoop of whey and 1 scoop of maltodextrin (carbs). The maltodextrin helps shuttle healthy carbs (glycogen) and protein straight into your muscles for rebuilding. Think of it like body lotion. When you put lotion on right out of a shower your skin immediately feels better. If you put lotion on mid-day, your skin doesn’t absorb it nearly as good. This is probably the most important protein consumption during the day for a bodybuilder or anyone who is serious about maintaining hard to ear muscle mass.http://froogle.google.com/froogle?svnum=10&hl=en&safe=off&sa=N&resnum=0&q=maltodextrin%20now&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&tab=ifIf you don’t trust me look it up.

The other is a kind of slow release protein stack loaded with amino acids and vitamins that keeps you well fed through the night and to kick you off during the day. Protein drinks have become quite sofisticated in recent years..
