Peanut butter???

[TrutHATEnvy]

hi im 19 years old and weight lift 4 to 5 times a week
Im trying to get a built figure i can bench 165 so far going for 200 by summer
also i am trying to get a six pack by summer which i have the muscle yet its not shown enough for me
My question is two of my friends (who also lift) said that 2 slices of bread with peanut butter after your work out helps build muscle which i believe cause my friend had the best body i had seen in his prime I was wondering if this was true for any of you and should i increase the amount like 3 or 4 slices i am also taking intravol during my workout and whey protein after
Thanks
P.S. any advice on getting muscles to show more would be HIGHLY appreciated

Its late...I'm not even gonna get started....

yes, working out and eating food helps you gain muscle. That was your question right?

haha

bread and peanut butter is probably exactly what you don't want to eat after training... well, i can't say that... what i mean is the total protein content in that meal isn't very high... i think ppl think pb has more protein in it than it actually does...

 

[Perdido]

Gain muscle, lose weight, and do it all in a few months on a peanut butter sandwich diet...that's an aggressive set of goals!

I will take it easy...everyone here is going to tell you to 'read the stickies' which I also encourage you to do. When I was new, and I still do this, but I just tended to ask questions until I thought I put something together called a diet. Please read Builts blog page, along with the stickies here in the 'diet' section, and get used to the web site.

To temporarily help you out with your post work out meal: You have a few options- 1. A fast digesting protein (whey protein) with a simple carb (fruit works out great: apple, banana, berries just to name a few.

2. You can have a regular meal that includes: protein (lean meats like chicken breast, turkey breast, or even egg whites with a few yolks- for slower digestion.

Edit- I forgot to add the carbohydrate portion in #2- I like using either old fashioned oats (oatmeal: 1/2 cup 27g carbs) , brown rice, or just even some green fibrous veggies (broccoli, spinach, etc)

Sorry!!
I always have some sort of healthy fat whenever I have any sort of carbohydrate which includes: raw almonds, natural peanut butter, or even olive oil when cooking. I also take fish oil capsules (6 a day)- 6grams.

Please read first, come back in a few days to a week and ask away. We might just refer you back to the stickies again enjoy!

Post workout, I actually prefer whiter carbs - white rice for example. Chicken and rice, or in a pinch, a can of tuna on rice works great.

i like chocolate whey and oats (powderized in coffegrinder)


though
dextrose and hydrolized whey isolate
would argueably be best


peanut butter is high in fats
which, directly post workout, slows digestion and would be considered "less than optimal"

I hear that pb is so anabolic that they have added it to the list of banned substances in the Olympics....

PB is pretty damn calorie dense, so for a bulk its pretty good for adding a bunch of extra calories.

 

[Merkaba]

Yep PB will be a drug by 2010.

I too pop oats in the coffee grinder. Goes nicely in pancakes or the shake. Though I usually don't mess with pancakes. I like em country made or not at all.

I buy the hodgson's mill organic flax pancake mix, add a scoop of protein, replace the oil the recipe calls for with 2 tbsp of nat pb and add some extra water. Ill tell you, they are good as hell and make an awesome saturday morning pregym breakfast.

No way. Flour,eggs and buttermilk. served with syrup sausage and/or bacon.

I guess its a link to a childhood memory bank association or something but oh well.

Yes Ben....Pancake Refeed this weekend with capn crunch.

Post workout; I obviously have a protein shake and recently incorporated ON's Glycomaize. The Glycomaize was on sale cheap so I thought I would try it. It hasn't done much in my opinion and I won't be buying it again. After I shower I usually munch on 1/2 of a cold bake potato or 1/2 a sweet potato until I get home. Dinner almost every night (within and hour of working out) is chicken, beef, or tuna a small salad and maybe some rice or veggies.

The only time I eat PB is in the morning when I put a scoop of Natty PB in my oatmeal with a scoop of whey.
