this guy I know at the gym drinks this stuff all the time and I have noticed him getting more and more ripped. It's like gatorade but with a carbohydrate and protein in  4:1 ratio.

just picked up some at GNC to test out


any other good workout/recover drinks? I have just been doing water/boost and chocolate milk.

I tried it and it was gross.

I just drink water and the electrolyte gels prior and then a protien drink after. Really it's gonna come down to your diet when your not working out and how much cardio you do.

I used it for a while in 2007.  The idea behind it is that the body can only process so many carbs / hour, but it can also digest additional calories as protein at the same time.  I found that during long rides in the heat, I tended to have digestive problems when using it so I switched back to a traditional carb drink (Gatorade Endurance).

Their recovery product, Endurox R4, is pretty good and I still use it after long or intense workouts.

Tried it a few times.  It tastes like Gatorade with egg whites dissolved in it.  

If you're thirsty enough like on a long run, it's tolerable.

Only time I have used it was trying the free samples in my race packets. Like others have said it is gross.

I like Hammer Nutrition products.
