Post-Workout liquid nutrition for explosive training results

Wanna get the best results from your workouts? Try liquid nutrition with a carb-protein combination---this simple tip can do wonders for your performance nutrition.

The answer? Liquid nutrition. A simple protein shake within 45-minutes following workouts has the ability to get much needed nutrients to your system faster than solid food which has to be broken down by the body.

An added tip would also be to make sure whatever protein you consumed also contained some carbs. Studies have shown protein to be utilized by the body more efficiently when combined with carbs.
