Recipes: 2 Rep Power: 96 | Workout Nutrition One of the things that makes or breaks a bodybuilder is proper workout nutrition. Preworkout and postworkout will help with workouts by giving you the calories you need to increase your performance and at the end giving you the calories you need for quick muscle recovery to go back the next workout. The best thing to do near workouts is use supplements, that way you get the most optimal nutrition. But that doesn't mean it is optimal the whole day, just best around workouts. Preworkout: For a preworkout mealyou want to include a fast digesting protein like whey protein. Also a slow burning carbohydrate like dry oats and fruits. Also casein protein (also digesting) will be a good to provide recovery throughout the workout during rest between sets. Casein protein comes from dairy products such as milk. Always remember to keep fats away from workouts, fats will decrease the absorption time of carbohydrates and protein. Take this shake 45 minutes to 60 minutes before a workout. Sample preworkout 1: 1-2 scoops whey protein 1-2 cups skim milk 1 cup dry oats 1 banana Postworkout: Postworkout makes or breaks a bodybuilder. You want some slow and fast digesting protein like whey and casein or egg protein. Try to get ore protein during this time for muscle recovery, so around 60-80 grams of protein is a good amount or muscle recovery. But build up to that much so you get used to it. Also want fast digesting carbohydrates like white rice, white bread, etc. This will help for fast recovery right after a workout. Make sure not to include fats after a workout. You want the fastest muscle recovery to insure no muscle loss takes place. So keep fats to below 3 grams. Take this shake right after a workout to make sure you get the fastest muscle recovery possible. Sample postworkout 1: 1-2 scoops whey protein 1-3 cups skim milk 1/2 cup rice 60g dextrose 1 apple |
