Im looking for a new post workout whey protein shake. Im thinking of buying a Biotest product. Which would you recommend? Money is NOT a problem luckily. From personal experience would you recommend:
Grow! Whey
Metabolic Drive
Surge Recovery
Thanks,
Parsley

The flavor of angel food cake is how it's usually described.
And it is awesome. |

Surge. Have it pre- and during the workout! Read Thib's thread about peri-wo nutrition...
IMHO, having pwo-shakes is out-dated. |

Of those three, I'd get the one specifically-designed to be a post-workout shake. Just sayin'. ;)

Good call. It's like watered down Yoo-Hoo. Liquid awesomeness.

Nope. You'd take it on your training days, that's all. |

Yep, whey is what you want. The second ingredient in Surge Recovery is whey (the first ingredient is glucose).
The biggest benefit that Surge has over Grow! Whey, though, is that it's already combined with the right kinds of carbs in the right amounts. So in terms of "bang for your buck" post-workout supplements, Surge is the best tool for the job, Grow! Whey would be second place.
(For discussion's sake, Metabolic Drive would be a distant third, since that protein formula is designed to be absorbed/digested slowly - not something you want immediately post-workout.) |

Why do you say pwo-shakes are out dated? just out of interest. |

This type of question leads me to believe you might need help in other areas with training and nutrition before worrying about a PWO shake.
Seriously, MD? |

Dude, I'm talking hydrolysed casein (CH), i.e. pre-digested protein, that also happens to have a superior amino acid spectrum NOT the standard slow-digesting stuff! Standard whey, even hydrolysed, cannot be mentioned in the same sentence as this stuff. |

Just out of curiosity, what flavors are you mixing? |
