eating before workout

KANE_VICIOUS · 03-08-2002, 05:28 PM

i just read a book by arnold and in it said that person should not eat heavy before a workout but on some weight lifting show on TV they said that heavy eating is great before lifting i was wondering who is right.

hurtyhair4u · 03-08-2002, 06:02 PM

I usally eat about an hour and a half before a workout . Gives the food a bit of time to set in so i can get the strenght i need to work HARD . Then i take in a little meal as soon after as possible .

Don't workout on a full stomic, your asking for trouble, give yourself 1 to 2 hours.
If you workout first thing in the morning, I'd just stick to a protien shake and maybe a banana.

Ever try doing legs on a full stomic, ewwww could be nasty!!

KANE_VICIOUS · 03-08-2002, 06:27 PM

what do you mean by nasty?

Scotty the Body · 03-08-2002, 07:43 PM

I've puked once doing legs (partly because of a cold I think) I could just imagin the mess if the same thing happened on a full stomic.

KANE_VICIOUS · 03-08-2002, 08:27 PM

oh lol i had the worst workout ever today i have a fever and looks like my shoulder is badly injured it kinda clicks inside when i rotate my arm

Stickboy · 03-08-2002, 08:39 PM

Clicks? That doesn't sound good.

Scotty the Body · 03-08-2002, 09:15 PM

Yeah, that can't be good Kane, get some rest, being sick sucks.

KANE_VICIOUS · 03-08-2002, 10:37 PM

i got them in my other shoulder too but they arent as bad i am thinking about a week off and bengay ever couple of hours

rks1969 · 03-08-2002, 10:40 PM

My shoulder sounds like a ratchet sometimes at the start of a workout.It stops when I'm warmed up good.Glucosamine/chondroitin helps alot, it keeps the pain away & seems to make it more resilliant.It usually takes a week or two to notice effects if you've been "popping" awhile.Give it try,if it doesn't help see a doctor.Don't try anything to mask the pain,you'll make it worse by not realizing how bad it hurts and cause more damage.
As far as eating before a workout--go w/ about 2hrs & try just a shake.Make sure you have good balanced meals the rest of the day

I like to lift on a full stomach but I usually wait 1 or 2 hours especially on legs, sort of feels like it is gonna come up

Markus · 03-10-2002, 02:07 AM

I don't know anyone who can give it their best when eating just B4 a workout, I wait an hour or so.
However I definetely hit the supp's and tucker straight after!

KANE_VICIOUS · 03-10-2002, 11:01 PM

does any one know what are those two plates in the back called? and what does it feel like if one of em is dislocated? i think that i dislocated one of "wings" cause when i flex it there is slight pain and it feels weird and the movement that is make is different than the movement the other one makes.

Rob_NC · 03-11-2002, 07:53 AM

Your shoulder blades are medically called scapula.

KANE_VICIOUS · 03-11-2002, 01:24 PM

thanks man i was always wondering what they were called. The cracking my shoulder is not going away so isnt the pain i will have to go see a doctor if i am not %100 at sunday

the ripper · 03-11-2002, 11:41 PM

a high carb snack right before a workout is essential for fueling up muscles and giving them enough energy for intense training

Neil · 03-12-2002, 01:39 AM

I just stick to my normal 6 meal a day diet and wait 60-70 minutes after a meal to work out.

tiger26 · 03-26-2002, 09:34 AM

i heard that eating a meal 2hours before the workoutwhich contained at least carb and protein increased your growth hormones released during the workout.

PRINTMASTER · 04-02-2002, 08:30 PM

I lift in the mornings . i think its better to eat after you lift.

Rusty · 04-02-2002, 08:37 PM

I throw up often on heavy leg days...........thought it was normal.

oe40luvr · 04-19-2002, 02:45 PM

depends on what you are eating... personally, i eat lots of carbs before the workout, and protein during the workout

Why do you eat during your work-out?

Scotty the Body · 04-19-2002, 03:02 PM

Yes, eating DURRING your workout wouldn't be a good idea as your digestive system pretty much shuts down.

**Prince** · 04-19-2002, 03:04 PM

I agree, I would never eat during a work-out except maybe simple carbs right before... I wanted to hear his reasoning to eating protein during a work-out.

ActionMatt · 04-19-2002, 03:49 PM

Damn, I'm the odd man out here.

I usually eat a small to medium sized meal 30 minutes before I lift, then a whey drink right before. Sometimes I skip the drink and just eat before.

If I don't, I get hungry while lifting, which totally sucks.

Scotty the Body · 04-19-2002, 04:05 PM

I also eat just before working out Matt, i workout in the morning as soon as I get up so all I have time for is a shake and a Banana but I've NEVER eaten durring a workout.

**Prince** · 04-19-2002, 04:57 PM

Maybe I will try it. I'll just bring a couple of burgers to the gym and munch on them between sets!

Scotty the Body · 04-19-2002, 04:59 PM

Naaaa prince, a mars/snickers bar would be better!!

Robboe · 04-20-2002, 04:02 AM

I never eat carbs before i train. I train better without them.
