Bryan, why a slow protein in Driver?

Good question. Here are my reasons.
1) Your workout, if using HST principles, shouldn't really take longer than 45 minutes. If you take the Primer (fast protein) properly right before your workout, its levels will just begin to decline when the amino acids from the Driver begin to rise.
2) The window of oportunity is much longer than the time it takes for the Driver to begin raising blood levels of amino acids.
Of course, you can take them however you want. You could even take a scoop of each in the post workout drink. Using the Primer right before, and the Driver right after is simply my recommendation based on the research.

That should work just fine as well.[b said:
Yeah, I was wondering the same thing too. I looked at the graph and the Primer peaked about 1 hr, about the time most of us are done. It then ended around 240ish minutes later. So I guess we are still getting a supply of protein and then taking the driver will add too it by adding in a protein over a longer time since there's a window of opportunity. Make sense? Or am I off?
