EVEN WHEN CUTING I ALWAYS HAVE ABOUT 80-100 SIMPLE CARBS RIGHT AFTER A WORKOUT TO RESTORE MY GLYCOGEN(SP?) LEVELS AND SO I DON'T LOOSE AS MUCH MUSCLE. IF I AM CORRECT THE CARBS YOU DRINK RIGHT AFTER A WORKOUT DO NOT GET STORED AS FAT, THEY GET ABSORBED IN TO THE MUSCLE, I AM NOT POSITIVE ON THAT BUT THIS IS WHAT WORKED FOR ME. HOPE THIS HELPS, GOOD LUCK ON YOUR CYCLE M18 ------------------ ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

when are you doing the cardio? it is best done in the morning on a empty stomach and with the carb question yes it is best to take in atleast 80 to 100 gms after traning then don't forget your protein. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

You could be gaining or leaning out and I always have a protien drink with orange juice immediatly after my workouts... 200 cals (50 gms protien) followed by a meal about an hour after the shake cheers ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

I do cardio after my lift which is in the morning after a very small breakfast. it is the only time I can do it for another month becuase I work 40+hrs a week with 20credit hours of class. I figured after the lift was the second best time to do it. I have to eat a littel something before I go to the gym or my lift sucks. I can try like a mofo to get in and do cardio first thing but I don't think it will be possible and if I did should I still have a protien/carb drink afterwards or just have my normal breakfast? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

if you can try to do cardio 1st maybe later after class you can train or continue what you are doing just play with your carbs.1 hi 2 low, 2 hi 3 low (EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

Supplement with alpha lipoic acid. ALA increase you glucose uptake by 50%. This means you can eat more carbs without them being stored as fat. This will help your training by allowing you to eat more carbs, which will increase your strength. ------------------ "Catch a man a fish and he eats for a day, but if you teach a man to fish, he eats for a lifetime." ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
