i think ensures are for the average person that doesnt workout hard. if you train hard, you need a whey protein supplement with like 23 grams of protein per scoop. you should take 1 scoop preworkout, and then 2 scoops immediately after your workout...

IMO 12gr of protein is not near enough protein.You should get at least 40 - 50 gr in after workout.As for before training,This stuff is a bit expensive and to be taking 3-4 serving per day is gonna hurt the pocket.If you are stinking rich or mommy or daddy is paying,Then sure,Go ahead.

I take my whey first thing in the morning and double serving straight after traing.
