So what is everyone here doing for post workout? I used to think you needed to take those 'insulin spiking' drinks PWO, with aminos or whey hydrolysate, but I no longer think that way. Although I do think it helps recover faster, based on my experience when NOT taking them, I also think they make you fat (if you have a body type like mine)

Right now I am using the free bottle of ON "Hydro Builder" which is marketed as a PWO. Basically it's just a protein blend (whey, casein, egg) with a bunch of crap added to it (creatine, betaine for some reason, aminos, enzymes)

Since I am cutting weight, I don't want to do that 'insulin spike'. But it definitely feels like I recover slower. Maybe I'll get used to it.

What is everyone else doing for PWO?
