When to eat post workout?

ChukiDori · Jan-02-07, 09:21 PM

Just a quick question..

If I did my workout, and did cardio immediately after ( which takes like ..40 mins to do the cardio) Should i do my post workout meal/shake immediately after my workout and BEFORE my cardio?

Or should i wait untill after my cardio? cuz that would be more than 40 mins past my workout ....and i dunno how well that would be for getting maximum gains.

Cuz i usually just do a quick workout and then go run for about 40 mins

Do it after you finish cardio unless you want to throw up something.

You know that doing cardio straight after weights like that is going to reduce your gains, right?

That's arguable.

If you train for more than an hour consecutively though, you should atleast be downing some kind of sport drink *pukes at the thought*. I think it has to do with glutamine stores being depleted. I can't remember.

Why dont you just drink a dextrose/maltodextrin/whey/bcaa mix during your train?

Scratch the whey though.

for me, prior to the 1st shake is like a 1 hour gap after a meal.
