I take fish oil and a pretty high dose of vitamins and minerals to help recover from lifting heavy objects (powerlifting, weightlifting).

Oh, and lots of protein of course.

Does the timing of the protein matter?

Yup. These two are good articles on protein amount/timing http://eprints.qut.edu.au/64117/ http://eprints.qut.edu.au/64127/

Ok so 20g every four hours after a workout for 12 hours?

So best to work out early in the day?

I guess 20g right before a workout too?

Yep you could go pre exercise as well. Give give enough time prior to a workout otherwise it might come back to haunt you
