Answer 1

I don't really understand your question. Please be more specific.

Answer 2

If u dont take some carb(glucose) after the workout ur body will use the protein from the shake as a source of energy, u dont want that, u want ur body to use the protein to rebuild damaged tissue and make ur muscles bigger and not as source of energy. So in short u should drink a mix of carb(glucose) and protein(whey) after the workout.
