Here is what Arnold said about nutrition, particular interesting to me is post-workout nutrition:
"One mistake many people make is trying to throw two things
together, namely food intake and training. They think, "It's
lunch break, I'll go eat and then I'll train quickly." But it doesn't
work like that. Immediately after you eat, your stomach needs a
lot of blood to digest the food. So your working blood supply
goes to the stomach. The result of exercising too soon will be
poor digestion of your food. I advise never to train immediately
before a meal or right after one. In either case it's bad. You
should have at least a half to three quarters of an hour for letting
your body come down from exercise, and at least three quarters
of an hour to an hour for digestion." Arnold, The Education of a Bodybuilder
I believe that there is "a golden hour" so to say after a workout when anything you eat (from healthy nutritious meal) will go straight to muscles. But from this quote from Arnold maybe it's not. Can it be that the idea of a shake straight after a workout is not so good?
P.S. It is an old book though..
