Hey!
Crazy MOFO fitness & bodybuilding blogger here!
Today we'll talk about pre-workout nutrition & supplementation.
First things first, as with the post workout nutrition we should know what are going to do in terms of kind and intensity of exercise.
I'll give you some tips on terms of Pre-Workout nutrition, assuming you are going balls to the wall in the gym.
Ok, on the carbohydrate side of things, we're aiming for medium GI carbs 2-2.5 hours before workout. That means Brown rice, sweet potato, oatmeal and the likes are our friends.
Eat a quantity you can digest in 2 hours otherwise you'll find yourself puking in the gym toilet :) These kinds of carbohydrates will give you a good, sustainable of energy that will keep long enough to annihilate your muscles.
On the protein side of things, we want a full protein source like beef protein (contains good amounts of creatine which will help you in your training).
You may also like a multi - source protein. It will help you too.
You might use a good creatine or pre-workout supplement.
I suggest, to use an alkylated creatine cause it tends to have better absorption and no need for loading. I'll be reviewing good pre-workout supplements and various other supps in upcoming episodes.
A brief post is over but I think a gave you a good guideline of a good pre-training approach.
Until Next Post,
Go and Kick Some SERIOUS Arse :)
