Is It Ok?

[losses]

Is it okay to lift, drink a protein shake and go right to sleep?

 

[blackbeard]

i think your beeing a little too deep..
dont forget to have some carbs after you lift as well..

proper training/nutrition/rest =results
dont get bogged down with symantics-im sure its fine to lift eat and then sleep

 

[krembles]

I hope so. I drink it all the time. Been know to keep one open and a little drink in
the early hours.

Some Dex/whey, or even Oats/whey, is ideal PWO...

Make sure to get in another Low GI Carb/Lean protein meal before you go to sleep for the night though, don't rely on your PWO shake alone...

 

[luquillo78]

Hight GI carbs are needed for PWO toghether with whey. Hight GI carbs mostly used are dextrose and maltodextrin.

Yeah, adding onto what luquillo78 was sayin, if I were you, I'd something more than just that one whey drink. Befrore I sleep I usually eat a bunch of pretzles, meats and other breads and the shake.

my post WO shake usually consits of whole milk, hvy whipping cream, 1/2 cup oatmeal/ few tbls wheat germ, casien, honey, bananna, iso whey and egg(either raw or powder)...i'm not a big fan of just whey and hi-gi carbs after a wo..

ok i usually eat 2 hours before a work out! are you telling me to eat right after a work out aswell?

If you go to bed right after lifting, I would eat some solid protein food.

Have a shake and some chicken or beef.

Yeah. Your body needs the carbs / protein to rebuild muscle. One protein shake isn't enough.
