What are the advantages to doing this as opposed to after? Also, I've heard that drinking MM like an hour before and then Whey immediately after is good for mass too... any insight?

Definitely more of a pre workout. After a workout (for mass) you need carbs and lots of em. I recommend Prolab Nlarge 2. Myoplex Sport is good as well.

I don't typically recommend Muscle Milk as a pre-workout drink. An hour before isn't really considered pre-workout because ANYTHING taken an hour before is going to be digested by the time you workout. But if your goal is building lean mass, IMO, it's better used post-workout. And needing carbs doesn't make it any less valid, you need carbs? Throw some raw oats into it, or get a flavor where you can add fruit. But for gaining mass you don't necessarily needs carbs and lots of them post-workout, you need calories and lots of them. Carbs is only part of the equation. The Muscle Milk is fine, and then within an hour have a well-rounded calorie dense meal.
