Post Workout Nutrition
What do you do immediately after finishing a workout?
If your answer isn't "I immediately initiate my post workout nutrition regimen," then don't expect all the hard work that you just did to be as effective as it could be.
As pointed out in this article, Feed your Muscles, there are many disagreements on exactly what your overall muscle building diet should contain. But one thing no one disagrees on is that what you consume (or don't consume) directly after your workout can have a major impact on your muscle building results.
If you are the guy who chugs a little water, leaves the gym and only a few hours later gets around to giving your body a little fuel, you aren't alone. If you want all that hard work you just completed to have maximum effect, you should change your ways.
A post workout drink should be the #1 priority after a workout. See Post Workout Nutrition for help on what that drink should contain.

Diet is important. If the diet isn't right than your workout results suffer. Your post workout nutrition is the first step in a range of steps for fueling those muscles.
Great post.
Wow nice Blog
nice posts thanks.
i definitely agree on what you said.
to my mind, the best post workout nutrition is 70grams of whey protein isolat (ultimate nutrition isopreme) and a banana oder an other fruit.
you get some fast carbohydrates form the fruit and your amino acid level gets pushed with isopreme.
