Depends on when your most recent meal before you hit the gym was. If you had a big meal 1-2 hours before working out, then don't drink it PreWO and only PostWO. But if it was longer than that, or it wasn't big, then drink 15g PreWO along with 15g PostWO. I always mix non-fat milk in with my protein shake when I'm taking it Pre or PostWO. The fat in milk slows down digestion and you want your body to utilize the proteins as fast as possible. Milk not only add extra whey protein in addition to your shake, but the casein in it will digest slowly for about 2 hours or so after you drink it.
