Post-workout nutrition is critical for maximizing training adaptations and accelerating recovery.
The Anabolic Window
Research shows muscle protein synthesis is elevated for up to 24-48 hours post-exercise, with peak sensitivity in the first 3 hours.
Optimal Post-Workout Formula: - Protein: 20-40g fast-absorbing whey - Carbohydrates: 0.8-1.2g per kg body weight (for glycogen replenishment) - Timing: Within 30-60 minutes post-exercise - Additional: Electrolytes for rehydration
Fast vs Slow Protein Post-Workout
Whey Protein (Fast):
- Rapid amino acid availability
- Maximum muscle protein synthesis spike
- Ideal immediately post-workout
Casein Protein (Slow):
- Sustained amino acid release
- Better for prolonged recovery periods
- Ideal before sleep after evening training
