Asking for a friend…
fast acting whey protein, assuming your talking about heavy weights. If you lifted for a long time, add some fast acting carbs in there.
Fast-absorbing protein and carbs. Whey powder mixed with chocolate milk does the trick for me.

This is akin to saying:
I prefer to race on the fastest wheels available, so I select a 32-spoke, box rim.
Fast absorbing protein is NOT chocolate milk (ie casein).

I ride on 32-spoke, box rim wheels. I drink chocolate milk for recovery. I thought I was just old.
I think the wheels and absorption only need to be fast enough.
HGH and T therapy… Er uh, chocolate milk!

If that works for you, great…but it would be incorrect to call that 32-spoke wheel a *fast *option when there are a myriad of other wheels which are faster.
Chocolate milk has everything you need.
Whey protein and dextrose and possibly maltodextrin or waxy maize. Add creatine or BCAA’s if you’d like.
Two scoops of whey powder is ~50g of protein. I mix it in with about 1 cup of chocolate milk, and the rest water (if you do all chocolate milk it’s too thick). So that’s 50g of whey, and 8g of whey/casein from the chocolate milk. That hardly slows down the absorption.
There is also whey in milk.

Adding 50g of whey protein to chocolate milk doesn’t slow down the absorption rate? Really, interesting concept…contradictory to everything I’ve read over the past 20-years in studying the subject, but what do I know.

Asking for a friend…
Someone asked on ST about strength training and claimed it was for a friend… and we’re debating about food choices? Whatever happened to this place?
Seems like we need to get Frank Day and Andrew Coggan back and turn this into a powercranks debate. From when do threads about strength training not feature debates that devolve into people calling each other idiots by the 5th post?
We must all be training too hard with the racing season about to go into full steam.
Seems like we out did ourselves!!!

There is also whey in milk.
Really, interesting…I wasn’t aware of that.
All this time I thought the protein in the highest concentration in milk was *slow *absorbing casein.
The point is this Jack, if someone wants to use milk as a recovery drink, I have no problem w/ that & as recently as 24-hours ago, stated the same at a seminar in CT. With that, it’s factually incorrect to say:
I use chocolate milk because I like fast absorbing proteinsAdding whey protein to chocolate milk increases the absorption rate
Say that you use it, great…but don’t make completely false statements to back up the reasons why.
Since muscles rebuild over time, and not only in the 20 minutes post workout, you really want a protein blend of fast release, medium release and slow release proteins to aid the process. There are many protein blend powders on the market or you can mix your own using 25% whey (fast), 25% soy (medium) and 50% casein (slow).
Does the presence of the casein proteins cause the whey proteins to not absorb fast?
Just curious I have no dog in this hunt. I’ve always felt the fastness of absorption to be a red herring so I don’t bother even with chocolate milk.

That’s what I’m talkin’ about… If I wasn’t celiac, I’d be all over it.
I used to be a big fan of Muscle Milk - my old roommate got a couple of us hooked on it briefly, but we were convinced that we’d ‘pop’ from it because we felt so good training successive days in a row. After a lot of investigation, calling the company, etc., we all quit using it because even though we couldn’t find anything illegal in it, we didn’t want to take a chance.
Now I use whey protein in a smoothy with a few berries, a banana, spinach, and kale (maybe a touch of almond milk if I’m feeling nutty - pardon the pun) - top off with water and blend to perfection.
You completely misunderstood what I said. The protein in milk is 20% whey and 80% casein, so one cup is ~6g casein and 2g whey. My point was that the 50g of fast-absorbing whey isn’t going to be affected significantly by the 6g of casein in the chocolate milk. It’s still a 90%/10% whey/casein ratio; very fast-absorbing, though maybe a smidge less effective than 50g of whey by itself.
Not sure why you have an attitude about it. Tough guys on the internet, man.
why would you think you needed 50 grams of protein after a workout, can that even be absorbed when taking 50 grams in a couple minutes?
