"5. Consuming the drink immediately following the workout will elicit the greatest protein synthesis."
"6. The best meal to consume following a post workout meal is a good SOLID meal."
"7. Insulin sensitivity is enhanced for an hour following a resistance training bout."
"8. Whey is a "fast" protein, ideal for post workout."
