SHAKE IT UP

Consuming liquid nutrients is not the only path to success, but it can lead to great results before and after exercise.

 Gainer shakes are an excellent opportunity to add carbohydrates to your nutrition about your workout. You can order dextrose and maltodextrin in bulk from various companies. Add these sugars to whey protein, which contains no carbohydrate. Many companies offer products which are primarily simple carbohydrates, but also contains components of recovery and growth as creatine and glutamine. They may also be added to a protein shake.

 If you still want to eat normal food around workout, I head to a fast-digesting carbohydrate sources. Eat a waffle, banana, a few slices with jam or add one Coca - Cola to protein shake. You can make a mix of rice cereal and protein shake that will not only provide you quick carbohydrates, but also improve the composition of the protein.

Avoid fiber and fat after a workout, as they slow down the absorption of simple carbohydrates and proteins.

 About an hour after your meal after training, consume wholesome food with protein, complex carbohydrates, healthy fats and fiber. A good example is steak and potatoes plus salad with olive oil and vinegar.

Below there are examples of pre-workout and post workout shakes, which you can do before going to the gym.

Pre workout
  • 500-600 milliliters of water
  • 30-40 grams of whey protein
  • 60-80 grams simple carbohydrates (in a 2:1 ratio to the protein)
  • 5 grams glutamine
  • 2-3 grams of creatine

 NOTE: Drink half of the mixture before your workout and continue with the rest during training 

After training 
  • 500-600 milliliters of water
  • 30-50 grams of whey protein
  • 60-100 g simple carbohydrates (in a 2:1 ratio to the protein)
  • 5 grams glutamine
  • 2-3 grams of creatine

Protein Shake

The intake of protein should be distributed around 3 time during the day: morning, about weight training (before and after) and at bedtime. Your solution is a protein shake.

 Morning: 
When the other body is not getting enough food catabolism in chewing muscles. It rises due to the small hepatic glycogen so perfect start to the day is something with fructose. Instead of going straight to the muscles as glucose, fructose goes to the liver first. It fills glycogen  and catabolism stops. Fructose has it mostly fruits but also in honey.

 Before the workout: 
Well shake before training provides all the necessary ingredients for growth, stops muscle breakdown during the workout and it gives fuel. But why need at least 20 grams of protein and 40 grams slowly digestible carbohydrates. Shake is the perfect way to a perfect balance between training to nutrients without feeling like overfed and back to bodybuilding science, fruits are an excellent addition. Fructose in them longer lasting energy source and will not upload cause the insulin to prevent melting fat during the workout. An additional plus is caffeine, which increases strength and endurance and reduce muscle pain during exercise.

 After workout:
Shake is essential for post-workout and post-workout for the whole meal. Solid food takes too much time to absorb and lose important minutes that would otherwise go to building muscle. So fast carbs (at least in 60g. in the form of sugars) are the main ingredient of any post-workout shake. Add a mixture of 40g. of whey protein and casein protein gives you guarantee for this!


 Low carbohydrate shake: 
An excellent alternative for protein intake at any time, even immediately before sleep.

 At any time:
Since you need to eat every 2-3 hours, if you wait too long for the next meal, muscle building slows you down. Taking a whey protein shake, slowly digestible carbohydrates and healthy fats perfect way to load your muscles with everything you need.
