Re: Claim in MH
[ QUOTE ]
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... [/ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] optimal nutrition pre, during, and after workout will yield almost steroid-like effects to someone who hasn't been doing it. [/ QUOTE ] Is it pretty much universally agreed that pre/post workout nutrition is hugely important and I'm a chump for not really taking it seriously? Usually I just make sure to eat something, often some milk with whey and a glass of juice or maybe a bowl of cereal. How much is it hurting me to not have the perfect shake with optimal ratios of hydrolyzed whey and dextrose etc? Also, is there a difference in ideal nutrition for a weight workout vs HIIT vs steady cardio? |

Re: Claim in MH
PWO nutrition is not overrated; yet, the protocols are debated (as you can see in this thread and others in the forum.)
IMO, the amount and type (of the non-protein part of PWO nutrition) should be dictated by your weight and bodycomp goals. It would probably help to get your pwo intake more in line with the prescribed ratios if you're trying to gain weight/muscle. As for your last question, I would never down large amounts of maltose/dextrose after steady cardio. |

Re: Claim in MH
100%, I dunno. But Im of the opinion that if you start using a godo PWO shake you can see some steroid like gains right off the bat, or at least a lot more than you normally would.
fwiw, I use either surge, or after max, which is 2:1 dextrose:whey protien. I drink 400-500 cals pwo while bulking 15-20 minutes after leaving the gym, and I sip on about 150 cals worth during the workout. While cutting I just drink 400 cals worth 15 minutes pwo. |

Re: Claim in MH
After a "cardio" day, be it HIIT, biking, or basketball, I eat a lot, but I basically just eat what I would have eaten at said time anyway. Not anything like Surge.

Any links to good articles on pre- and post-workout nutrition?
