    carbs postworkout

    Keith, I'll leave the carb part to others who know more; there are varying opinions on timing, amount, etc. Check the FAQ too. As for protein here's what I know: Pre-workout: take around 20g "fast" protein 15-20 minutes before hitting the weights. This is done becuase it's absorption...

    Smith machine squats dangerous

    I had been doing Smith squats (on my home gym) as I don't have a spotter normally (that's why I got a Smith in the first place). I find them harder to do than regular BB squats. As you said, it's straight up-and-down, otherwise you are fighting resistance from the machine itself if you waver...

    Help me with my Post Workout Shake

    Actually, you want "fast" protein in your pre-workout drink, and "slow" in your post-workout drink, which would be taken immediately following your training. As far as maltodextrin goes, you can get it online at proteinfactory.com, etc. Some have said your local drug...
