A member asked:

What works most effectively to do after a strength training workout?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Eat or drink: There are many protein/carb shakes to use within 30m minutes of a strength training workout. Alternatively you can eat protein with carb/sugar. For example chocolate milk is a good choice.
