For quite some time now – most bodybuilders have lived by the 2 hour rule when it comes to getting your protein fill after a workout. The basic explanation is this: you need to consume the nutrition you need within the first 2 hours after working out in order to maximize muscle growth. But does your timing really matter when it comes to post workout nutrition? Should you really be worried about rushing home in order to fit some food into that 2 hour window? Jerry Brainum breaks down the truth behind this idea in our latest episode of Straight Facts. Check it out above.
