If you are training to build muscle mass (hypertrophy), immediately after your training session, there is a 15 minute window when your body is at it’s most receptive to nutrition. The best way to maximise your training, is to ensure that you eat a meal that is high in protein within this 15 minute window, to give your muscles the best possible opportunity to repair quicker, then become bigger and stronger. Don’t fall into the trap of taking protein shakes or supplements, because not only are these full of artificial ingredients that your body doesn’t need or want, but they only increase the fluid (sarcoplasm) between the muscle and the skin, rather than build the muscle. This provides a cosmetic result instead of a physical result, defeating the aim of the training.
