thats completely wrong according to everything ive ever read. You need protein/creatine the minute you are finished working out. Sometimes with longer workouts, such as legs, i start sipping my shake in between the last few sets of
calf raises towards the end.
and to the original poster...sure the creatine/protein will still work after 20 minutes, its just not the ideal time. Your body is in a catabolic (bad) state after you work out, and you need the
amino acids in protein to put yourself back into an anabolic (good) state. The creatine is shuttled into your muscles at this time because this is the time when they are most suseptible to, and in need of, nutrients.
