I have a question.when is the best time to drink protein shake?
Straight after work out or wait 30 mins?
When is the best time to drink for optimum muscle gain?
Thanks for your inputs.

Don't micromanage. The window is within 1 hour of your workout, so anytime within that window. There's no specific time 27min41sec after you put down the barbell on your final rep of your final set that is magical.

Dont forget to take it with some glucolin/dextrose mixed after workout.

Insulin spike can allow more protein absorption.

What about drinking before starting the workout? Any benefits in this routine?

I have wholemeal bread with cheese,peanut butter+1 scoop of protein powder before training.

After training,I have 1 banana or 3 scoops of honey+2 scoops of protein powder.
