Claim in MH
I read a blurb in MH that said if you sandwich your work out right in between 2 protein shakes you would increase muscle mass produced by 100% compared to having the shakes 4 or 5 hours before/after your workout. That seems unbelievable. Comments?

Re: Claim in MH
Men's Health is probably the best magazine when it comes to fitness info for the regular guy. I have hardly ever picked up a useful piece of information from Flex, Muscle and Fitness, and the like, but MH is chock full of good information on health and training.
Also, MH doesn't try to sell any supplements to you like a lot of other magazines do. Keep in mind when they printed this they didn't say "On Whey Protein," merely protein shakes. |

Re: Claim in MH
MH is at least fun to read if not always right-on. A lot of it is garbage, but fun garbage. I can't say the same for most muscle mags.
Also, I wanted to add something to my post above about PWO shakes: it's okay and possibly even preferable to substitute some amount of dextrose/malto with oats. |

Re: Claim in MH
a ton has been written on pre/post workout nutrition and a lot of people think that this is these are the most important meals of the day...

Re: Claim in MH
While I'm not going to focus on the 100% claim or whatever because it isn't important, optimal nutrition pre, during, and after workout will yield almost steroid-like effects to someone who hasn't been doing it.

[/ QUOTE ] So do you have any suggestions as to what optimal nutrition pre, during, and after? I don't think I've been getting it even close to right. |

Re: Claim in MH
Carbohydrates are needed in conjunction with protein/amino acids. This will give you the most anabolic effect.
My favorite drink is Vendetta. Clicking this link takes you to the product and gives you a scientific background on pre/post workout nutrition. If your into being your own scientist like I am, I prefer Waxy Maize Starch (Vitargo), Creatine, BCAA's, and Whey Hydro. If you have the money, you can't really go wrong just buying Vendetta (or similar product), and downing some before, during, and after training. http://www.1fast400.com/?products_id=670 |
