who has read the article "Solving the Post-Workout Puzzle Part 2" by John Berardi (testosterone.net/html/body_141post.html)
Any comments on the suggested post-workout intake of 0.8g/kilo carb and 0.4g/kilo protein, with BCAAs etc. Anyone know the Biotest product he was introducing. And also, does the amount of BCAAs/leucine etc that is needed vary according to body weight. I am worried that if a product serving is designed for a 300lb muscleman, and I am a 114lb female, then reducing the serve to fit my protein/carb needs will mean I miss out on the needed BCAAs/leucine/glutamine etc etc?????????

the bcaa's are taken before and after, to minimized the catabolic effects on your muscle and to maximize nutrient uptake respectively. as for exacting #'s for post workout nutrition, i couldnt say. i know that a 4:1 carb/protein ratio is best to replenish glycogen stores. as for the exact .8 or.4 g/kg, i cant say. since you carry less weight than the 300lber you mentioned, your requirements are obviously lower. to be safe i would go 16g pro, and 64 grams carbs roughly. 320 cals post workout, with minimal fats, so maybe 350-370 cals. you could maybe even go lower if you are getting alot of calories throughout the day. you are only 52kg so your protein requirements are lower than mine.( i keep thinking in reference to myself sorry
