Thread: sleepy after post workout shake

lol

i'm no expert or anything but i wouldn't say it has much to do with the shake as much as it has to do with the fact that you just burned all your energy lifting and are now relaxing in a tanning bed... i don't tan very often but i can't remember the last time i didn't close my eyes and nod off in a tanning bed... that's the beauty of them! enjoy it!

I agree with Skib. It's the workout, not the drink. Sometimes on Sunday, after my workout, I go home, eat, and then lie down and take a nap.

well I do train heavy and intense. workouts are less then 50 minutes long legs aout 1:05 minutes

usually
2-3 sets 3-4 exercises after warmup with 6-8 reps some times 4-6

Whenever I go on the tanning bed I feel sleepy and sometimes drift off

I think its just down to the fact that you are exhausted from your workout and are now laying down with your eyes shut, I guess it would be normal to feel a bit sleepy

Could be a carb coma from the maltodextrin, but I would think that would take at least an hour.

let me give my opinion.

ummmm.

a. train like hell
b. get all warm in the bed
c. lay down and relax
d. fed from the shake so tummy is happy
e. bright lights from fake sun

why wouldnt you get sleepy

this occurs even when i'm waiting to see chiropractor to not just in tanning bed. as of now all carbs are coming from food !! i nice big bowl of oatmeal is much more appealing with some protein powder in it. plus i can get my needed fiber in there as well

well maybe you just figured out your own issue
although it is probably because you are stressed and tired IMO

what time of day do you usually train?

i find if i train in the afternoon, i get a boost afterwards... but if it's in the evening after a long day, i just get tired...

do you see his avitar? thats him...he trains morning, noon and night

Abs are finally starting to return to orignal state after shedding this water and finally started traninng them every day like a mad man. Guy at gym said "bean you have gotten 3 times harder in one week !! What are you doing to dry out so fast" I replied "a wonderful lady told me to do some thing and me being stubborn did not do it and now i paid the price for not listening.."

and who would that wonderful women be?

J'BO

Hell, I nearly doze off at the traffic light on my way home after working out. lol Then I get home and have insomnia until 3:00. Now that sucks. Maybe you have narcalepsy like that chick on Duece Bigalow. lol
