Jeff (Kreth) mentioned he was researching workout info and saw a lot of people talk about a simple chocolate milk drink for your post workout supplement. Just skim milk and chocolate mix. I happened to talk to two coworkers today about it, they both work out. They both said it definitely does help. You get a nice dose of protein and carbs to help replenish the muscles you just worked out. I made one up today and actually had it before my workout. I wanted to get the mix right. I used 8oz skim milk, 1 tsp Hersey's Special Dark cocoa and a pack of Splenda. Put in a container you can shake to mix and drink. Not sure if that was it, or my dinner before the workout, but I had a lot more energy today and increased the weight for my workout and was able to do more. Could've been physcological. Who knows but I"m going to continue to do it. I didn't have one after the workout as I didn't want the extra carbs. But now that I have the mix right, i'll be drinking them afterwards.

I also ordered some Protein Powder and Creatine too. Been reading a lot about them and the benefits. Figured I'd give it a shot. The brand of creatine I got isn't supposed to give you the normal "creatine bloat". If it helps with my recovery I'll take adding on a couple extra pounds.
