I’m trying to pack on some muscle at the moment, eating only clean, and supplementing with a WPC and fish oils.
My question is what would hte perfect pre/post w/o nutrition be using only whole foods and a WPC supplement?
Please discuss, iv’e raed a few articles lately about when carbs should be taken and how much htat have really challenged what i have previously ‘known’.
Cheers.
Eat a nice carb filled meal before you lift, an hour and a half before will be good. Drink your protein shake right before you lift. Drink a protein shake directly after you lift then eat an hour later. The more protein right before and right after the better.
Is there no way for you to get a cheap simple-carb source for immediately pre-workout?
Maltodextrin can be had for <$16/5 pound.

Ever try reading some articles?
Mate iv’e read about a thosand over the last 3-4 years, but there are conflicting veiw’s as to carbs pre or post workout? have protein shake directly after or wait 30 minutes? etc. Read a few of the articles on this website and you’ll see what i mean.
This thread is for people to post what they feel is optimal.
Currently ive been eating a meal within 2 hours before of tuna/chicken and vegies and directly before having a shake and 2 apples. 30 minutes after a peice of fruit and shake then an hour later tuna/steak and greens. I train at 5pm each day. I was previously having 2 slives of bread with post workout meal, but i think it was putting on too much fat too quick, so seeing how it goes without.
