Beck Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 do you put those in a blender? seriously, getting that protein within the first hour after a workout maximises the muscle recovery/rebuilding.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gslater Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 Ed Burke died on the last year or so. Probably a different guy than you're thinking of, this Burke was only in his mid 50s, worked out of UC Boulder I believe. Â UC Colo. Spgs., I believe. He was a major guru within the cycling world.

spacely Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 Rite Aid in PDX had Accelerade 2 for 1 about a month ago. I think they rotate their sale items so it may be on sale again soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronin Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 Coca-Cola during exercise (watch the Tour de France to see Tyler Hamilton drinking Coke mid-stage); Guinness and steak for post-exercise recovery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad_A Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 Bzzt. Well, not exactly. Carbs, within the first hour, are what helps recovery. Protein doesn't even begin to get absorbed by the intestines until 1.5 hours after ingestion. Hit some complex carbs after a hard workout, and your muscles soak it up quickly for better recovery.

Actually, Fast absorbing protien like Whey or Casein, especially mixed in a shake with the right 2-1 Carbs-Protein ratio, is absorbed by the muscle and helps prevent catabolism sooner than 1.5 hours.

DonnV Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 How long it takes for your body to "absorb" protein after a workout isn't really at the heart of Burke's ideas. He stresses, as vw4ever suggests, that the ingestion of carbs after a workout is absolutely essential, since the ultimate goal is to replentish muscle glycogen. But while we usually think of taking in protein as a way to "rebuild" muscle tissue, his MAIN reason for including protein post-workout is to boost the insulin response which he claims is largely responsible for getting glucose stored as muscle glycogen.
