What do you guys use for recovery drinks? I just found some EAS myoplex lite at costco and am trying it out for a bit. Any one else using a protein based drink for recovery?

I find myself incredulous at the weight-weenie threads where the dialogue often centers around one guy bemoaning how his cable housing weighs - - - OMFG - - - 10 grams more than somebody else's, to hear later on this guy is like 5' 7" and weighs 190 and wants to know why Crank Brothers can't invent a new Ti alloy for 4Ti Eggbeater spindles that can handle his weight.

Everybody knows that Dr. Pepper is a MUCH better recovery drink!

I agree..nothing beats a cold, crisp, Dr. Pepper! Before or after a ride.
Century Rider - I have used other Top Form products such as their Good Energy chocolates and Whey protein (I recommend Chocolate) but I never have tried the muscle makeover. Does it taste chaulky or what? Let me know...i might try it soon.

Im not sure if DP is a good choice as soda and excess sugar are 2 evils of the modern world :thumbsup:ddt3003 said:
Yes the Muscle Makeover in fruit punch is the best, i use it before and after riding, running, swimming. It has given me a noticeable increase in energy and made some of my longer rides a little more doable... As with using any supplements, a good diet is the best nutrition always, but for an extra boost on top of that it works very well ! It helps alot with the recovery post ride and the following days too.

Dextrose: Better known today as glucose, this sugar is the chief source of energy in the body. Glucose is chemically considered a simple sugar. It is the main sugar that the body manufactures. The body makes glucose from all three elements of food, protein, fat and carbohydrates, but in largest part from carbohydrates. Glucose serves as the major source of energy for living cells. It is carried to each cell through the bloodstream.

right on...3 tblspoons dextrose and 3 of maldextrine with a scoop of whey protein is all you need immediately after work out and 1 1/2 after workout consume a meal consisting of proteins and a healthy fat i.e. olive oil. I usually eat ground turkey with veg spinach or broccoli and a few tablespoons olive oil. Dextrose and malt can be purchased in bulk on line very cheap. All the good name brand recovery drinks will contain these two elements and allot of other things that are really not needed. Hope this helps.Century Rider said:

As I being told,muscles feed on proteins.I use "Protein Shot".Costco has it.100 calories per 2.9 OZ serving,no fat,no sugar,no carbs. It's liquid and taste like fruit punch. You get 25 grams of whey protein per serving.$ 19.99 per 12 pack. Again, we'r talking about proteins here.

why don't you just point a gun to peoples heads and start shooting?flargle said:
the most important time to eat and replentish is right after a workout. you are less likely to gain weight as the body is wide open to absorb then way later or the next day when what you eat is most likely excess and not absorbed so quickly.
dieting is smart if you are heavy, but not right after a workout. you will feel horrible for up to three days if you do not replentish quickly. if you jump on the recovery bandwagon you can be almost be fully recovered by six hours later.
sodas with caffine will dehydrate you and pull many essential vitiamins out of your body instead of depositing them in. hows that? you are going in reverse than foward just to get a small energy high. not worth it.
use hammer products!! I do.

If you can be fully recovered in six hours, by all means do two six hour rides per day and set the world on fire. What? You have mediocre cross country results? No way!
P.S. It's been over four hours since you've uploaded a photo of your tattoos to the internet. Get cracking, genius!
I like what endurox does for me so I use it, but I find it hard to get it to fully dissolve even in a lot more water than the advised amount. It feels like I am drinking powder rather than liquid and there are always clumps at the bottom no matter how often I shake the bottle up as I drink. I got over the bad taste issue (of the lemon lime flavor) by mixing it with 50% water 50% grapefruit juice which would make it actually quite tasty if it wasn't for the consistency issue.
