Industry leader Optimum Nutrition brings to the table a post-workout recovery supplement called After Max. This product attempts to combine all the essential components necessary for a successful post-workout supplement.
Highlights
- 40 grams whey protein, 40 grams carbohydrates, 5 grams creatine, 5 grams glutamine per serving.
- Great Taste
- Recommendation: Definite Buy
One can argue against the 1:1 protein to carbs ratio and might prefer a 2:1 or 3:1 ratio, but the fact is, After Max supplies your body with a high amount of protein, ample amount of carbs, creatine, and glutamine that supports muscle growth and allows your body fast recovery. The one negative aspect of the product that I have found is that it is only 20 servings. With the price ranging from $35-$45 per tub, you are looking at $1.75- $2.25 per shake. Depending on your own personal financial situation, that may or may not be acceptable. Below is an official product description from Optimum Nutrition.
