11 Post Workout Nutrition Tips for Better training and Results
1: Take Creatine to Improve Reaction Time When Exhausted
Compelling evidence shows that creatine will improve skill execution in sport training when you are tired. A study in the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition found that rugby players who took creatine when they were sleep-deprived performed better on skilled passing tests than players who took a placebo. In fact, creatine was more effective than caffeine, but it also produced a better muscle-building environment with a favorable testosterone to cortisol ratio.

2: Take Whey Protein to Lose Fat
Taking whey protein is one of the simplest and most effective ways to lose fat in conjunction with training. For example, a 10-week resistance training study using trained body builders found that giving them a whey protein supplement post-workout resulted in a 5 pound loss of fat, while they simultaneously gained 12 pounds of muscle. In contrast, a group that took whey with carbs had similar muscle mass gains, but they also gained about 4 pounds of fat. Final body fat percentages were 13.6 percent for the whey protein group compared to 15.9 percent for the whey/carb group, indicating that for fat loss, whey is the protein to go with, and carbs should be avoided.
3: Use Fenugreek and Berries to Improve Blood Sugar Response with Carbs
There are certain herbs (fenugreek) and foods (raspberries, st
rawberries, and bilberries) that are proven to slow digestion and minimize the insulin spike that comes with carbs. This is critical because if you don’t, it can defeat the purpose of your hard work in the gym.

4: Take Whey to Recover Faster After Exercise
Due to its fast digestion pattern, whey protein is the best option for promoting recovery from intense training. For example, one study found that participants who took whey protein after performing muscle-damaging eccentric training recovered much faster than those who took a carb supplement. Participants were able to produce much more maximal force at 3 and 7 days after the eccentric workout than the carb supplement group. Whey is also preferred because it supports immune function and has an antioxidant effect. Plus, the lactose can be removed from whey, making it acceptable for people who are lactose intolerant. Be aware that many whey supplements will have added sugar or high-fructose corn syrup as sweetener—neither of which you want in your whey. If you are going to add carbs to the shake you want it to be a high-quality carbohydrate form that will replace muscle fuel rapidly. A conservative suggestion for whey protein intake after training is 0.5 g/kg of body weight. An 80 kg or 175 lb person will want to take at least 40 grams of whey. You can easily go higher—0.6 to 1 g/kg is useful for greater muscle building and fat loss. If you are using creatine powder you can add it to the whey shake or you can take creatine capsules separately.

5: Take Whey Protein to Gain Muscle
Liquid whey protein is ideal post—workout because it is digested quickly. Whey supports protein synthesis and tissue repair more than casein protein, which releases its amino acids at a slower rate into the gut. Pea or rice protein blends are alternatives if you are intolerant to whey, in which case, take additional branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) post-workout as well because pea and rice proteins don’t provide as many amino acids per gram.
6: Take Creatine To Gain Muscle and Increase Work Capacity
Creatine is the first energy source called on by the body and it plays a primary role in energy metabolism because it is a more efficient source than ATP. It increases protein synthesis rates and initiates a greater anabolic response to exercise with lower cortisol. Numerous studies show creatine is an effective performance-enhancing aid.
For example, the 10-week study using body builders mentioned in #2 also tested a creatine/protein/carb supplement. Results showed that this group gained the most muscle (16 pounds), and had much greater strength gains than the other groups. Including creatine in the shake resulted in a 75 lb increase in squat strength compared to a 50 lb increase in the other two supplement groups that took protein alone or protein/carbs. Gains in the bench press and pulldown were also much greater in the creatine group.

7: Take Creatine To Lose Fat
Creatine can help you lose fat because it increases work capacity and energy use. For example, in the body building study mentioned above, the inclusion of creatine with protein/carbs allowed participants to lose an average of 1 pound of fat while gaining muscle. In contrast, the carb/protein group gained almost 3 pounds of fat while gaining 13 pounds of muscle. Final body fat percentage for the carb/protein group was 15.9 percent, compared to 14.1 percent in the carb/protein/creatine group.
In addition to helping you lose fat while gaining muscle, taking creatine can minimize fat gain in the case of a high-fat diet. A number of studies have tested the effect of taking creatine with a high-fat diet in which as much as 75 percent of the diet is fat. One recent study in the Journal of Nutrition found that creatine countered visceral fat gain and prevented the development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in rats. Researchers suggest the creatine eliminated oxidative stress thereby improving insulin health and affecting metabolic pathways that lead to fat gain.

8: Decrease Inflammation Post-Workout by Taking Creatine
Creatine is not only an energy source but it also functions as an antioxidant, minimizing the inflammatory response to training. In the long-term, greater muscle creatine content will minimize oxidative stress that leads to chronic inflammation and health problems like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and accelerated aging.
Just as was seen in the Journal of Nutrition study, other findings have shown the antioxidant effect of creatine is responsible for its therapeutic influence on the brain. People with greater dietary creatine intake have demonstrated slower progression of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s. Creatine is gotten in the diet from meat and fish, with large amounts being found in beef and salmon. There is significant evidence that muscle creatine stores are lower in vegetarians than non-vegetarians.

9: Drink Water/Avoid Caffeine
Hydration is the greatest determinant of strength! Many people are horribly dehydrated despite the little plastic bottles of water they carry around. Research shows that greater hydration will allow you to train harder and longer, and there is evidence that dehydration causes cardiovascular stress as well as deterioration in central nervous system function and muscle metabolism. For example, a study in the American Journal of Epidemiology showed that men who drank five glasses of water a day had a 54 percent lower risk of dying of a heart attack than those who drank two glasses day. And five glasses is not enough: At least 0.6 to 0.7 oz/lb of body weight or 39 ml/kg of water a day. A 200 pound man should drink at least 120 to 140 ounces water daily. Do not drink commercial sports drinks. These are packed with carbs and chemicals and will do you no good! The only time to drink or take caffeine is before exercise. After your workout is the worst time to drink coffee or get caffeine because it may raise cortisol, which negates all the good things you did for your body by exercising. Don’t do it! You shouldn’t need coffee after your workout to wake you up if you have the nutrition basics covered and you get your BCAAs and protein during and after training.
10: Take Beta Alanine with Creatine: Gain More Mass, Lose More FatHydration is the greatest determinant of strength! Many people are horribly dehydrated despite the little plastic bottles of water they carry around. Research shows that greater hydration will allow you to train harder and longer, and there is evidence that dehydration causes cardiovascular stress as well as deterioration in central nervous system function and muscle metabolism.

You shouldn’t need coffee after your workout to wake you up if you have the nutrition basics covered and you get your BCAAs and protein during and after training.
Beta alanine is a precursor to carnosine, which is stored in the
fast-twitch fibers and is used for anaerobic energy production. It helps
the muscles contract with more force, and do so longer without
fatiguing. Another reason it enhances performance is that it stabilizes
muscle pH during exercise by eliminating excess hydrogen ions that
accelerate fatigue. A recent study in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research
found that collegiate wrestlers and football players improved
performance on sports-specific strength, speed, and power tests after
supplementing with beta alanine. More intriguing, the wrestlers who took
beta alanine lost body fat while gaining muscle. Fat loss with muscle
gains is particularly difficult for weight-class athletes who must keep
body weight within a weight class. Beta alanine and creatine are often taken together because they both
improve anaerobic performance and body comp, and they are best taken
using a dosing protocol. For example, a high-low dose of 3.2 g/day for 4
weeks, followed by 1.6 g/day for 4 weeks improved muscle carnosine
levels and anaerobic performance more than a 1.6 g/day dose for 8 weeks.
Similarly, loading with 20 to 30 grams of creatine for a week helps to
“load” the muscle. After the loading period, you can use a lower dose of
3 to 5 g/day to maintain levels.
11: Let Training Goals & Volume Dictate Carb Intake
Your carb needs will be dictated by assessing the combination of training volume, body fat percentage, and goals. If you’re not super lean, you may not need carbs in your post-workout shake. Rather, you’ll get them from the diet. However, carbs may be beneficial if you are training with an intensity and volume that depletes glycogen. Insulin sensitivity is at its highest after a workout making this the best time of day to eat carbs. Opt for fibrous carbs, such as green vegetables or high antioxidant, low-glycemic fruits for best fat loss results. If you are not ready to eliminate bread, pasta, and other high-carb sources, after exercise is the time to eat them, but please do something to minimize the insulin response and improve glucose uptake.

Without a doubt the post-training period are the most important times and embarrassed to take advantage of nutrition in building healthy muscle.
We will determine the post-training period as three hours immediately following intensive training and at this time preparing most of the muscles in the body to absorb nutrients will work literally like a sponge and absorb everything presented to muscles.
To Zllk very important during this time frame nourish the body the appropriate elements of the foods and supplements will significantly increase muscle.
Let's take a quick look at what needs to be done after intensive training period should reduce muscle breakdown and body must be placed again in the case of anabolic (muscle building).
Restore blood sugar levels and glycogen must be fed muscles of the proper nutrients to facilitate recovery and growth.
This can be achieved through and 2 meals of food at some point after coming out of training.
First meal must be in liquid form completely, because your body is in a state of high tension literally be in a state starving and you need to be renewed this imbalance in the fastest way possible and meal liquid are digested faster than any and another meal and this helps your body to start re- the same building immediately.
And should have a meal after exercise idealism as follows:
1/30 to 40 grams of whey protein.
2/80 to 70 grams of simple sugar (dextrose wonderful source of simple sugar).
3/5 grams of creatine.
4/5 to 10 grams of glutamine (optional).
And should be all these ingredients mixed in water and consumed within 30:0 minutes after the completion of the exercise and also suggest taking a quantity of vitamins high efficiency with this meal.
This simple meal liquid will help accelerate the process of muscle growth and helps in the process of compensation muscle lost during exercise.
The second meal of great importance thing for taking 30 - 60 minutes after the liquid meal.
Should consume your second meal, which should come from foods.
These should be in the meal must be rich in protein and carbohydrate sugar.

Abs Flub 2: Doing ab exercises first
The abs are section of your center area, which helps stabilize your system. If an individual fatigue these early inside your workout, you will find a hard occasion doing different ab-intensive exercises like squats.
And so we live clear, the role that your core represents in squats should be to protect your current spine, so you desire them to have a full tank at this point. Save your current ab training for that end.
Abs Flub 3: Thinking you can out-crunch your diet
The key to noticeable abs isn't a secret whatsoever: Lower your whole body fat portion. This will not happen by simply doing hundreds of reps connected with ab exercises—nor 1000's, nor large numbers. You may train ones abs all you need, but if the diet isn't in balance, you'll never observe that six-pack.
Abs Flub 4: Having a full workout just for abs
All you want is 15 minutes. If you will be already carrying out compound workout routines like squats and also deadlifts, a couple of ab workout routines for 2-3 pieces each at the end of the workout is sufficient.
Abs Flub 5: Training them every day

bodybuilders, Bodybuilding, metabolic, protein, training |
"But Arnold did wonders the abs every single day! " Preserve it. Abs are merely like every other muscle within you. That means needed time to get better. When many people get did wonders hard, several days' reprieve is important, in my opinion.
If you can crunch oneself into submission eventually and then get up the subsequent morning prepared for far more, take it as explanation that crunches are certainly not actually operating your abdominal muscles as tricky as they should be.
Try a harder activity and notify me if you're up pertaining to repeating it tomorrow.
Abs Flub 6: Only doing crunches
My partner and i heard the actual question you recently screamed "So what's greater than a crunch, maaan? " You will find dozens associated with exercises which might be much more efficient than the regular crunch.
In fact, the regular crunch is one of the least powerful ab exercises you can apply. And simply because you are unable to perform these kinds of other movements for numerous reps isn't going to mean these are not powerful. Trust me personally, this one is:
Pike Roll-Out on a Fitness Basketball.
Abs Flub 7: Not focusing on form
Once more, abs are just like some other muscle in the human body. So why have you been writhing close to like you're unstoppable to do the job them, when you are a stickler with regard to form on your own squats in addition to presses? Consentrate on form and make sure your abs take part in every reputation.
When people start doing tough one and successful ab movements like the pike roll-out, you'll find that they're essentially impossible to perform sloppily.
Abs Flub 8: Forgetting about your lower back
![]() |
bodybuilders, Bodybuilding, metabolic, protein, training |
This core has a front as well as a side, however it has any back, far too. A wide range of people neglect the reduced back muscle tissues (erector spinae), so make sure to train them equally you would certainly with almost every other muscle.
If you need to have a substantial core, treat your back like ones abs. Educate it tough and smart, and you are going to feel seeing that strong since you look.
Abs Flub 9: Only working in one angle
Your obliques, transversus abdominis, rectus abdominis, and erector spinae are all part of your core, but they may be different muscles with fibers running in most manner connected with directions. You will need to train these in more than just 1 angle.
Difficult, difficult motions like windows wipers can function the entire team while doing so, but if you're not at this time there yet, don't go as justification to revert here we are at middle-school-crunch tests.
Eating & bodybuilder: The Only 4 Things That Really Matter!
![]() |
bodybuilding bodybuilders protein training |
1: Eat More Frequently Throughout The Day:
Knowing our particular person metabolisms involves understanding what on earth is happening to bodies when we do or do not eat. Eating with greater regularity is usually beneficial for assorted reasons. Eating more reguarily helps maintain a steady level of blood glucose levels which helps supply us steady energy at all hours.
Steady energy emanates from steady daily allowance of meals. I normally recommend 3 food and two snacks on a daily basis. However, those consuming higher calorie counts may want to divide their particular calories just as over 5 to help 6 food.
For illustration, a man or women consuming 2000 calories on a daily basis may choose to eat 5 meals composed of 400 energy each as opposed to eat about three enormous meals and have 2 smaller sized snacks.
Any time calories are consumed, we have a thermic influence that takes place, that will be, our metabolisms rise as a way to process these calories. It's simple; greater often all of us eat, greater 'thermic' effect our bodies is acquiring, thus a better metabolism total.
2: Eat Enough Protein, And A Little Bit Of Fat At Every Meal:
Eating protein and a few healthy fat with each meal is vital for many different reasons. One very easy reason is which it keeps us full for a longer time of time. No one likes to be hungry all the time, and incorporating this habit of making your meals more well-rounded can be a sure way to prevent hunger pains. There exists however, a scientific grounds for this.
It takes our systems longer to digest proteins and fats than it does to digest carbs. Not only that, but eating proteins and fat helps prevent rapid swings in blood glucose and subsequent swings in vitality.
When you try to eat meals that comprise only or generally of carbohydrates it spikes you blood sugar and insulin levels, consequentially leading to your sudden "drop" generally leaving you experiencing mentally exhausted, actually tired, and starving. Regardless of whether your goals are increasing muscle mass, or losing extra fat, increased satiety in addition to metabolism can only assist you in your goal.
3. Eat Enough Fruits, & Fibrous Vegetables:
The number of times perhaps you have ended your day feeling guilty that you didn't eat enough fresh fruits and/or veggies? I realize that this possesses happened to my opinion many instances. It doesn't matter should you be being rigid with yourself on the nutrition intend to have this happen either.
We are all taught coming from our junior that we must eat fruits and veggies and linens... and there exists a reason for your. They are good for us! The antioxidant price in fresh fruits and their healthful effects about the body are usually indisputable.
4. Eat ENOUGH Food To Sustain Your Metabolism & Your Goals:
There are only some circumstances i always can think of where excessive calorie restriction could well be considered guaranteed. These incorporate preparation for just a bodybuilding or even fitness rivalry where one particular must lower their unwanted fat to sub-normal levels just to be competitive. Actually then, you are able to over diet regime.
It is actually never profitable to over diet much that your body has absolutely no other option than to eat your muscles to be a source of one's night and day. If eating more reguarily raises your metabolism, next it appears that ingesting less generally would lower the metabolic rate.
