Pre Workout?

[Mr.Goodtimes]

as long as you dont eat too many, the cholesterol in the yolk of an egg is good for you. i eat six eggs, 4 egg whites and two whole eggs for a total of six.

Syntrax (no added sugar or fat) mixed with "super light" skim milk is the most palatable I've found.

Any of them mixed with water and you just have to force them down. For me anyway, no protein after a workout leads to a noticeable increase in muscle soreness.

that's about what i've found. i've taken to mixing with water just because it is easier. but even with milk, i find i have to force it down. i'd like to find one that i actually look forward to drinking, and isn't full of sugar and extras. maybe that's a pipe dream

On weightlifting (olympic lifts and functional strength exercises) I mix 16oz of apple juice with one scoop of vanilla protein powder. That provides a 2 to 1 ratio of carbs to protein (32g to 16g). I sip on this throughout the workout. After the workout I'll mix up a muscle milk shake with water.

On cardio days I don't do anything special besides drink H20.

While I prefer just the white, I've been given to understand that the yellow actually has good cholesterol not bad. I may have been misinformed, but the person who told me this is infinately more knowledgeable than me about these things.

yes it could be.... but anything in excess is no longer healthy. Diet depends on the age as well. If your body cholesterol count is already high then regular eating of egg yolk is not appropriate.

If you can get in some Yoga pre-workout you'll be loosened up enough that you wont need to worry about doing just specific stretches. Cleans are a good all body warm up after a small jog.

LawDog.....I don't eat anything before my workout, only a glass of water. I stretch and then workout abs first before any walking, running or lifting. No one should eat anything, as your brain will send a signal for blood to flow more to the mid-ab section of your body for food breakdown etc.

However, by all means eat within 30 minutes "after" a work out, espcially if your lifting weights OK. Your body gets the most boost from those nutrients during that first 30 minutes. Now anybody got any questions, just tune to BILL PEARL'S web sight. He has done it all and is the greatest at what he did in his career as a bodybuilder and trainer of champions.

Pre-workout in the morning? Yogurt and water

Right after you wake up? A strong cup of coffee and a piece of fruit, after when you need food egg whites, oatmeal, glass of milk.
