POST WORKOUT NUTRITION

[tomsammce]

just sayn lol but yes u are right dextrose is alot more economical than powerade.. i want convience pwo at gym.

Mint!

[train hard]

I wouldn't do the powerade thing unless I'm in a pinch, would get so pricey

just use on insulin days, ur bcaa's prob workout more expensive than powerade on special fropm pak and save

Not when you buy them from the U.S.

All I'm saying though is that you can buy a kilo of dextrose for the price of a few powerades (at normal retail)

yes dextrose is alot cheeper and i usually use dextrose powder but when i dont have anything else its a powerade, banana and whey but hell anything will do as long as you get the nutriants in postworkout i have even used cans of creemed rice before about 90 grams of carbs no fat 99% and under 2 bucks a can

[trainlikeadog]

lol is there a reason why choosing powerade?? could you use any sugar drink??

Powerade is a 'sports drink'... lol

[trainlikeadog]

lol haha. ok looks like i need to include some liquid sugars into my PW

[drizzt]

Any of you guys use the powder Powerade? Rather than buy a bottle (or lots of bottles), it could be cheaper and easier to get the powder and just biff a scoop or two in with however much protein you're having, then fill up with water.

Just a suggestion 8) I've never used Powerade PWO, but have a couple of powder tubs lying around that I used for Rugby.

I've used half a sachet of Raro with an unflavoured whey concentrate. It's cheap and it works well, particularly the tropical flavour - yum! :nod:

BCAA's intra followed by shake:

2 scoops of whey 50g Protein,

2 scoops of oats,

20-30g of glucose

5-10g creatine

in a half water half milk mix

Usually, I add and remove carbs depending on what day it is, Squat and Dead days being the highest and stuff like shoulders being the lowest.

why would you have oats as it is slow releasing? and wouldnt milk just slow down digestion?

I go straight into a training session after weights, and I add the oats as my last carb meal so it takes me till bed time.

Whats wrong with the milk? I had no idea milk would slow digestion.

Milk is Cassein Protein, same as other dairy products such as Cottage cheese...meaning it takes longer to digest/slows down digestion.

[Rookie]

I usually do 35g protein powder and 4-500ml fruit juice round 50g carbs.

Just find what works for you bro, and like Tom said if you gaining fat make adjustments

[Maximus]

I always have a decent protein shake with a simple carb like a banana and have a nap for 30 minutes afterwards (I'm lucky that I live near my gym).

Works wonders for me.

Milk isn't only casein, it's whey too. Casein is slow to digest, doesn't slow digestion

Yeah one of my lecturers said something about having both whey and casein present because you`ll get the best of both worlds when it comes to aminos etc. He also said that fats slow down digestion, that could be why its not that common you see guys having lots of dietary fat immediate post w.o

[Chemo]

Yeah bro, just fat will lower the total GI of ya foods.

Im not even sure if pasteurized milk has casein in it?

and maximus a nap after gym! for serious? sounds mean ha

It's all very highly scientific stuff with me mate. Finish a workout, shower, protein shake and banana and then drive home and have a 30 minute nap. I wake up and then have some food.

My trainer swears by having mediative rest after a hard workout.

You should try it, it works a treat.

If im not mistaken I believe Frank Zane was a huge advocate of sleeping immediately after a workout.

Mean gonna go take a 30 in the ring when no ones looking lol!

Just go grab a kick shield and a sweat towel. Nigh nigh brb in 30 lol

[mike27]

I have my pwo on the way out of the gym.... then bike 5-10mins home and shower.

then i eat lunch within an hour of getting home. then most days i have a nap for 30-60mins. also a good lay down on my bed reading for 30mins before the nap :grin:

really good for ya!

and then back to some more food!!

[blahman]

46 gram whey 1 banana and 200ml milk

I don't care much for casein but don't have anything against it. Studies have shown 20g/10g whey/casein pwo led to better gains, didn't read the study though so dunna what to take from that. Most test subjects are untrained or athletes that don't pay too much attention to proper nutrition

Yeah fats slow digestion but you could take in MCT's if you want fat post work out I guess

[Chemo]

Was that one of the protein synthesis studies PD?

I'd still prefer whey over casein PWO anyday higher bcaas when I need em most.

[PeterDolan]

Something of that nature, didn't really read them, just the conclusions

[JOSEF RAKICH]

2 scoops whey protein, 1 cup of oats, 1 table spoon of glucose sugar.

Protein and carbs is basically what you need, high G.I carbs mean diddly shit it wont make any difference at all no need for them, however in saying that i still add glucose sugar to my PW meal.
