[hardasnails1973]

Jstar,
I do 20 minutes cardio post workout
Reasoing why
your glycogen levels are low, but not empty like first thing in the morning. To prevent muscle break down I down 5 grams BCAAS 5 grams glutemine before going into cardio, plus I sip on SANS v-12 while doing cardio, then post workout depeding on what phase I am in depends on amount of carbs i take but protein always stays the same 50 from muscle provider 10 grams glutemine then I wait about 1.5 -2 hours to eat. best way to know when to eat is when you start peeing like a race horse that is indication I use to gauge my meals, cardio after legs is ok, but very low, what people don;t uderstand cardio is a partioning agent which helps to drive nutrients into the cell and to help remove lactic acid

hope this helps

 

[jstar]

he meant 400mgs...no one can take 4000...typo han typo

thanks for clarifying J'Bo. Han are you trying to kill me?


What if I started out on 100mg/day? I was reading that really high doses would give you gastro problems so I don't want to take more than I can handle just starting out.

 

[jstar]

Han, think I got it. I hate cardio first thing in the am-so I am glad you said that. As you know I am not doing any now but I will probably start adding it back in a few weeks. I always do it postworkout too. The best results I get (esp in the lower body) come from HIIT but it's so demanding, as you well know that I just want to tale a break from ALL cardio for a few mths before I go back. I was stupid last time and did a ton of cardio for my last contest 1-2 hrs daily. Never again!!!

 

[hardasnails1973]

i took 2,000 mgs at meal 1 and another 2,000 mgs before desert 3 hour later !!

 

[hardasnails1973]

just saying start 20 minutes 4 times a week post workout its not that much and will make dieting alot easier. I would lower the protein by 10-15% becuase extra protein can store as fat as well. Just my opinon

 

[jstar]

Hey Han,
I am going to stick to the diet outline I got from BI for 3 wks before I add cardio. My diet has been pretty crappy the past month or so (okay really crappy!) so just eating clean is making a difference. I'm trying to take in about 1900 cal,
50P/20C/30F so it works out to 237.5 grams of protein per day, give or take. In the past I did lose fat eating 90% clean with no cardio and 2000c/day (up to a point).

HIIT is going to kick my butt when I start

Day off for me too! My shoulders, chest and tris are all sore. So is my knee for some reason. I might go do some cardio after work, not sure. Rest days are fun. What are the macros in your sausages? I havent had sausage in years... They soind good, do they taste good?

 

[jstar]

Hi Jill
I can relate to being sore Everything is sore on me right now!

The sausages are by Healthy Choice. They have 70 cals, 3g carbs, 8g protein and 3g fat per serving.(which is 3 links or patties). They taste awesome, especially with sugar free syrup poured over them.

Have no clue because of M4. Had to go out to eat with former coworkers-hooray. Of course they all wanted appetizers--I did not but of course had to pay anyways. Oh well I didnt do too bad but this place has absolutely nothing even halfway healthy. Everything has cheese/bacon/haevy sauces...it is just amazing how hard it is to find anything that won't compromise my diet. I won't be going out to eat for a LONG time!

[shortstuff]

jstar- do you do caps or powder bcaa's?

 

[hardasnails1973]

take 7 grams BCAAS half prior workout and then take 7 during workout. Bcaas hit your system in about 30 minutes so you want them in you when you are training and then take them during so that they are in there for recovery as soon as you are done. FYI add in 500 mcgs of biotin with ALA becusae it does depelte your body and lack of biotin equals possible bad joint pains

 

[jstar]

SS- I bought the caps but actually I opened them up and put them in my water. I did 8 caps in the water and took 5 immediately after training. I read that it is bad to let the BCAAs be exposed to the air...I think that is what I read but can't remember?? How do you take them shortstuff???

Han-hey buddy
Thanks for the suggestions...I will split up my BCAA's as you said. What brand do you use? I bought some cheapo ones 100 caps for $9.00 at the Vitamin Shoppe but if I am take 13-14 caps each training day it adds up. It is the cheapest I found so far though. Is it bad that I open the caps and let them dissolve in my water or should I just take them whole?
