Amino Acid uptake can be twice as high during the blood flow increases associated with the workout, therfore it is a good strategy to use a fast acting protein immediately before the workout. To increase the effect of glycogen turnover and create an anabolic insulin spike it is also a good strategy to take a higer GI carb pre workout.
Post workout nutrition is important also, since the net protein balance is affected by breakdown and intake occurring after the workout it would be a good idea to take some protein after the workout also, a slower acting protein would be advantageous but another fast acting protein can be taken especially if you plan on eating a mixed meal shortly after your workout. A higher GI carb after your workout isn't as important but replacing the carbs over the next 24 hours is, so some good lower GI carbs throughout the remainder of the day would be advisable.
