pre and post training spike?

dakota · 03-22-2005, 07:17 AM

just wondering what you all thought of pre and post traing insulin spikes. i train in morning first thing, i have a protein shake with water or milk and two slices of rye toast w/ jelly. post, i have p. shake, gaterade w/creatine,eggs and white rice,white bread, or potatos. im currently cutting for a comp. that is 6 weeks away. does this spike sound good, or should i make some corrections, start weight-182, current weight-168, comp weight-154. thanks

I wouldn't spike pre-workout. The drop in sugar would make me want to sleep instead of lift.

the only thing a pre wo insulin spike will do is possible screw up your training session and make the effects of the post wo spike less effective. insulin sensitivity decreases for several hours after an insulin spike.

Meh, the training itself would improve insulin sensitivty but again, low blood sugar would cause lethargy. I wouldn't do it.

also, i know its good to have oatmeal/apples after cardio for fat burning, but what about cardio before bed? just protein then??

actually eating carbs after cardio will stop fat burning because your body will start to use those instead of the fat it was "feeing" off of.

Is this true? Because if so, damnit, I'm cutting and have been eating carbs (oats or fruits) right after cardio for the last week or so.

I read somewhere that it is better to wait at least 30 minutes after cardio session to have your meal .. But I personally don't even worry about it

Eating anything has the potential to exert this effect.

End of the day, just make sure you actually do your cardio. It'll help partition calories towards muscle and away from fat and of course will burn fat during the exercise providing your blood sugar levels aren't too high (i.e. you'e just eaten right before you start which would make me feel sick anyway).

And if you do interval style training, it'll raise your metabolism for several hours afterwards, not just minutes as per aerobic activity.
