Protein Shakes
So I get the question alot, “when should i take
my protein shake”, during the day, before my
workout or after? Well i have quite a few during
the day, but if i could only have ONE, i would
100% choose after my workout. I load it up
with a carbohydrate and have it right when im
done with lifting. The carbohydrates act as a
transportation system, they carry the protein to
the torn muscles and help with recovery. I feel a
shake without carbs in it is a waste of a workout.
(not really, but you see my point) The protein
will help build muscle and help with recovery.
So take your shake with you to the gym, and
get it in your system asap after lifting, there
is a small window of about 30 min when it is
at it’s full “helpful” potential. I also like to put
glutamine and creatine in my shake for recovery
and muscle growth.
Good luck, and like always feel free to ask any
questions you may have!
When To Do What Exercises
So this might be a widely known post but i
figured id pass it on to some that might not
know.
Day 2- Back and biceps, with the same
reasoning as prior. Back is primary while
biceps is secondary muschle.
When choosing exercises to do and when to
do them and in which order, here is a good
rule of thumb i usually go by.
Day 3-rest
Day 4- Legs, this includes quadriceps and
hamstrings
I do these workouts in this order for a reason.
Day 5-Shoulders, calves and abs.
While chest and back use shoulders to help
with the movements, it gives the shoulders
Day 6-Rest
a few days of rest before they are trained
Day 7- Rest
vigorously.
Good Luck, as
Day 1- Chest and triceps, why together you
may ask? Chest is the primary muscle being always if you have
any questions feel
worked while the triceps is the secondary
free to ask anytime!
muscle also know as the helper muscle for
the chest. So always do chest prior to triceps
and for the most part on the same day.
