Postexercise supplementation with protein-carbohydrate (PRO-CHO) resulted in similar increases in strength after a resistance exercise training program as compared with creatine-dextrose (CR-CHO).
Both protein-carbohydrate and creatine supplements can be effective for strength gains in untrained individuals.
