You should not take a protein shake right before working out. Your muscles are made of mostly of protein. When you work-out your muscles tare, drinking protein IMMEDIATLY after your work-out fills in these tares which rebuilds your muscles. If you want to drink something before your work-out try something high in carbohydrates that will give you more energy and make working out less of a hassle. Keep in mind your body can only take in 21 grams of protein every three hours, any more than that will be filtered out by your kidneys. If your taking in way to much protein it can cause kidney problems. There are some protein supliments that allow your body to take in more protein than its supposed to. These can be found at any walmart or GNC.
