|  | Best form of carbohydartes post work-out
« Thread Started on Feb 25, 2008, 11:35am » | |
I take in a mixture of different fruits puree with protein after my training sessions because of the antioxidants and the simple sugars abilility to help me absord protein and to blunt cortisol. Pre- work-out I take protein powder with water and some bcaa's.

I wash down my post-workout supplements with 4oz of Vitalagy then have my protein shake 12-20 minutes later. Vitalagy gives me the antioxidants and nutrients I need in liquid form for faster delivery. http://vitalagy.com/bmfsports
I will check into contraindications of purees and Vitalagy and maybe mix in some Vitalagy if there's no conflict. what fruits do you use and recommend?

Post workout you will need a fast acting carb to get your glucose levels back up. This will help to get the most from your training and speed recovery. Also, depending on your goals most serious athletes will need to consume a fast acting protein shortly after training as well.
Pre-workout a slower acting carb should be consumed along with a mixture of other carbs, protein and fat.

The original question depends largely on one's goals, pre-training protocal, and the day's training intensity/volume/duration.
Greater amounts of sugar/wms (if you are in the IN) are needed if:
a) your goals do not consider fat gain
b) your session was long
c) your pre-training meal was consumed more than 3 hours before you finished training
d) you trained your lower body
e) you have ecto/meso qualities
A whole meal with WPI might be a better choice if:
a) You are monitoring your bodyfat levels
b) Your training session was short, and low in volume
c) You have endomorphic qualities
d) Your pre-workout meal was consumed within 3 hours of your post training feeding
