What this chapter covers
For twenty years, the supplement industry sold one idea harder than any other: the anabolic window. Miss your post-workout shake by thirty minutes and your session was wasted.
It was also wrong — but not entirely wrong, which is why the story is more interesting than either the hype or the backlash. Timing does matter. It just matters roughly one tenth as much as the industry claimed, and in different ways than they told you.
This book is educational and is not medical advice. It cannot account for your medical history, medication or injuries. Speak to a qualified clinician before changing how you eat or train, particularly if you are pregnant, managing a health condition, or returning from injury.
