Pre/Post workout nutrition and timing!

[Daniel.308]

Hey guys

Well I am experiencing a few issues;

1. What is the optimal timing for pre workout and post workout nutrition and what should it consists of? As I have looked through Fadi's diets and I have interpreted he believes in the majority of nutrients to be carbohydrates from the looks of thing (from what I remember it was 6gram WPC + 60grams of Oatmass)...

2. How many hours shoud I eat before a workout?

I have a rough idea on these things it's just my workout energy has been really lacking. I have narrowed it down to my overall foodintake or pre/post workout nutrition...

Responses much appreciated...

Cheers

This is my two cents worth...

I normally drink 30g WPI, 15g WPC, with 20g dextrose, 5g BCAAs and 5g Glutamine straight after a workout. And about 15mins later have some fruit or bread or something with some carbs. (which to some is probably the wrong way to do it)


I normally have a protein shake about 60mins before my workout. But whole (solid) food maybe 90mins before training.

Hope this helps slightly. More informed people will help you soon

Ye I am normally doing the 30grams of WPC 1 hours before with 60grams of Oats, though before this meal I haven't eaten for about 2.5-3hrs which might be the problem, even though I am having the shake as (I know this may sound stupid) I don't feel I respond to shakes etc.

lol hopefully that makes sense.

Pre-workout isnt important because what your muscles are using is what you had for dinner or breakfast.

Post workout I try to go over 50g with protein (so two scoops) and let the two glasses of milk i have with it sort me out carb wise. I dont believe in the high GI sugar hit most gym rats seem to like (notice that big ron doesnt down a bag of liquorice bullets post workout?), any carb will do.

(notice that big ron downs a bag of liquorice bullets post workout?

Now that is some real post workout food!

i'm pretty sure the meals before & after training is more important than the respective meals.

What makes more sense? what you eat 40 minutes before & after training, or the meals on rest days, as well as the breakfast & lunch before training, then possibly your dinner AFTER your pwo meals?

Don't be ridiculous Oli, King Coleman know's that eating licorice bullets lower's T levels. He prefers Skittles. They're colourful.
