They say that a little knowledge can be and is a dangerous thing and quite frankly, although I haven’t the faintest idea as to who “they” happen to be, what I am convinced of is that they are dead on the money. The number of rookie muscle building hobbyists who have a single web page about muscle building and who then consider themselves gurus of the muscle building world is nothing short of hilarious.
One issue that crops up time after time is the consumption of protein shakes. What a lot of guys don’t know is that whilst the consumption of protein is helpful for muscle building, they can actually significantly maximise the effects if they were prepared to drink it at the appropriate time. Ideally, protein shakes should be consumed 30 minutes before you begin your muscle building in earnest. This is because the contents of the protein shake will still be in your system thereby allowing your body to digest it and gain access to the crucial components contained within it.
However, don’t be fooled by the name. A protein shake which has a very high protein content or worse yet, exclusively protein content is actually not such a good idea. Your body needs a source of fuel in order to allow the various chemical reactions such as the growth and repair of muscle tissue and this comes in the form of carbohydrates. Therefore, make sure you drink a protein shake which has both protein AND carbs in it. Contrary to what you may think or may have heard, carbs are NOT your enemy.
It is important to appreciate that as effective and potent as a protein shake is to the body, it is used simply in a supporting capacity and therefore it will not and cannot do all the hard work for you. Therefore, it is crucial that you strike when the iron is hot and actually derive the maximum amount of benefit from your workout. Otherwise you would have simply wasted your time altogether on both fronts.
Drinking a protein shake just before you go to sleep is another excellent idea. Whenever we sleep, our body uses this lull in physical activity to maximise the muscle building process throughout the body and given that it relies on protein to actually achieve results; this means you have provided the body with the raw materials needed to carry out this critical process.
