recovery drink after morning cardio?

[SOLID]

good info rgc3, why just glutamine- to stay void of those cals from the protein? And why do you suggest dividing the carb, protein postworkout? I've heard this before and it makes sence to me. But is it because the protein slows the absorption of the simple sugars back into muscle glycogen? Would you take your Glutamine with the protein or the high GI shake? Makes sence to put amino's with amino's but just wondering...

Iwan2:

You're correct that even Whey will slow the absorbtion of dextrose. But I do suggest taking Glutamine with the Dextrose. Gutamine will not slow the absorbtion rate. You can also throw Creatine into the Dextrose/Glutamine shake. This makes a very powerful shake.

Yes, I avoid the pro cals before cardio. Of course, I only do cardio while getting ready for a show. Too lazy in the "off-season"

But remember that it is only Whey and water that you want to drink after taking the dextrose mix. All other proteins absorb into the body too slow.

Try it.....you'll like the results!

When I'm cutting I do about 40 minutes of cardio in the morning on an empty stomach. I wait for about 1 hour after doing cardio before I eat. The meal is a regular one, not a shake.

Like others have said, you don't want to eat right after cardio cause your metabolism is high, and since your sugar levels are low in the morning, fat will be burned.

Exacty.

I did this all the time around 2 years ago, I was lean, but small too. I listened to the body for life advice of Bill Phillips. Then I was told that you need to eat or replenish right after any type of strenuous exercize to stop catabolism? Now I hear to wait again to eat. Ok, which one is it?

RGC3- I will try that instead of mixing my protein and dextrose together postworkout. How much dextrose you taking in (.4 - .8) gm per lb bodyweight? Then you wait how long to pound your protein 15-30 min? How much protein do you consume? K, lates.

u should always have real food over drinks.

i do cardio 60mins on an empty stomach. wait an hour and have l-glutamine and a 'real' meal.

Cool. I take .4 gram of Dextrose lb of bodyweight. So that's about 56 grams. I suggest trying this formula. Then adjust the amount by what happens or doesn't happen to your body. You're playing with you're insulin so you can get graet gains or fat. Depending on your body's responce to the insulin spike and length of the spike.

I personally wait 30 min after drinking my dextrose shake. My Whey shake is 40 grams of pure Whey in water. Some people will freak thinking that long before taking in protein (that's for you CajunFreak!).

I then eat a meal 1-2 hrs after downing the Whey shake. Keep pumping that body with nutrition and GROW!

NOTE: You'll gain a little weight (fat). This is due to overfeeding the body with nutrition. You can adjust all other meals except for the post recover shakes.....after you find your dextrose intake. To drop those extra lbs if going on a cutting cycle.

whey will not slow the metabolization of dextrose...
