THose of you who drink fast carbs DURING your workout

[GoldenDelicious]

yes i do, but only 30g

i use 40g of high GI carbs during workouts (in about one litre of fluid) and then a premixed 30 carb 30 protein drink. then about an hour or so later, i eat.

i recall my lifts spiking when i started doing that, and also, i dont yawn during workouts anymore.

??? Is that two shakes during??? or is the 2nd shake Post?

jkurz1, i believe you stated your bodyweight to be 205lbs. considering that and playing it conservatively for you to start, why don't you first try a during-training shake of 20g fast protein and 40g hi gi carbs. and then immediately pwo do the same ingredients but measured out at 20g each. then 30minutes to 1 hour pwo more protein and a little while later a good food meal.

nothing about that should add bf if your trainging is where it should be, and i don't mean that as a hidden cut on you. if you feel good with that, imo you should try one immediately pre-workout too. just go by how you feel, how you look, how fast you're recovering from workouts, etc. let us know what you find if you do decide to give it a try.

So you ARE consuming a post-workout shake, in addition to during????? THis prevents the crash PW?

what is the protocal for glucose/lb of bodyweight?

Where do you guys typically purchase?

i take a protein shake pwo. it's about 30 minutes later and brings on board 2 other slower digesting proteins in addtion to the other faster proteins i use pre and during.

there's a book i've been using called Nutrient Timing, you can get it from Amazon used for probably under $5. i think it would be worth your trouble to pick it up. i've modified the approach a bit, but not much. i really think it's worth the read.

i order most of my stuff from PF.

I will post again:

Aerobic vs. Anaerobic

What do we know about aerobic (with oxygen) exercise? It burns fat.

What do we know about anaerobic (without oxygen) exercise? It burns glycogen.

Weight training is mainly anaerobic exercise, burning primarily liver/muscle glycogen. What happens when we run out of glycogen in the liver and muscles? The body breaks down muscle tissue in the process of glycogenesis.

Glucogenesis bad...

Fast acting proteins/sugars good...

We know from growing up, heavy digestion takes place in the stomach, not intestines (Don't go in the water before a half hour after eating or you'll get cramps! Ok Mom!). Not a good idea to eat heavy solids prior to workout.

Physiology teaches us that the intake of low molecular weight food such as hydrolized protein, peptides of various amino acids, BCAA'S, sugars, will immediately dump out of the stomach into the small intestines where they are readily absorbed providing quick energy.

So, if your prone to working out like a mad man, like I know you do, consuming a sports drink of you own design or store bought, is a very good idea.

I sip my drink through out the session, along with water (I try to consume about 1/2 gal. or more)

My formula:

1 scoop of whey
10 gm BCAA
10 gm glutamine peptides (flavored)
10 gm l-glutamine
For the time being I'm adding 1 scoop of San V-12
flavored gatorade (tropical, strawberry, etc.)

The drink is a little bitter, but it grows on you.

PEACE
Booger...
