The Definitive Pre, During, and Post Workout Nutrition Discussion Thread

[oaktownboy]

trouble and tp, you have got to be the smartest people i have ever come across on a bb forum. u take it to a whole 'nother level. I don't understand why personal trainers don't cover this with their clients. I guess they just assume their clients don't care enough or maybe they have no idea themselves

A good trainer can and should explain pre, during and postworkout nutrition. Its not that hard. If you want to keep it simple, its easy, watch:

Pre = EAAs and a small amount of simple carbs (20g or so).

During = if anything, BCAAs

Post = whey, plus a slow released protein (prefer casien) plus some simple carbs (10-15 grams) plus some slower released carbs.

Joe, in order for you to make the most out of your workouts, and the massive amount of money you spend on me, you really need button down your nutrition, before and after your workouts. At a minimum, here is what I want you to do:

60 minutes before you come to see me, eat a half can of tuna or small peice of chicken, and a peice of fruit. Then, when you are done training with me, grab one of those high protein RTDs in the cooler over there. About an hour after that, sit down and have a meal with some protein and good carbs (brown rice, or yams).

Now, if you want to REALLY dial it in:

Slam some Vendetta 30 minutes before you get to the gym. Bring a water bottle with ICE or XTEND or some other BCAA drink. You'll sip that while we lift.

Then after your workout, you'll use Replenish.

There you go, not so hard.

I agree with this 100%. Hell I got a buddy who about a month ago I told him the donut he was eating is bad for him. I thought he was going to argue with me for an hour telling me that it was good for him. I was like holy shit, people are this retarted! So yeah the average person has to be explained in baby steps.
