Re:
quote \”vwr32\:RhunDraco, thanks for the post. I’m a fan of t-nation too. Post workout is usually followed by a small meal containing some sort of decent protein such as chicken, edamame, or quinoa… as well as whey protein supplement mixed with milk (getting whey and caesin sources that way), and creatine monohydrate. Have CellMass on order now to replace the creatine. Not a fan of the loading/cycling on and off business. With the cellmass, it’s estherized creatine so no need for all that. Plus it has glutamine. Are you taking anything post workout for recovery or eating anything in particular?No problem! Yeah, I have two post-workout mixes that I use. I just bought some Biotest Surge Wild Raspberry and I really dig the flavor. I can tell it helped me power through my last kettlebell session. I just do a single serving, and sip half during a session and the rest immediately after.
The other mix is a custom Surge-like mix that I made at Protein Factory. Not as tasty as Surge, but seems to work OK. I’ll probably stick with Surge from now on unless I find something better.
Biotest, the company that owns t-nation, has some damn good stuff. I’m currently taking several of their products and so far I’m very satisfied.
When I remember, I also take BCAAs between meals, but that gets expensive.
No, I’m not a shill for Biotest. 🙂
Don’t forget post-workout supplementation, either
Hi All,
First post for me! I just got my level 2 Krav here in Colorado Springs, Colorado. I’m having fun and kicking ass.
I did want to say that while some people might need a boost pre-workout, depending on your energy levels, don’t forget that after an intense physical training session it is important to give the body back what it needs to grow and keep recovery strong.
Eating the right meals or taking the right supplements post-workout (I do this after Krav and weight-training), can really enhance energy, recovery, and just make you feel stronger.
I’ve been researching this for several years, and I can say that the information on http://www.johnberardi.com and http://www.t-nation.com is where it’s at.
Other than that, it’s nice to be here! And I’m looking forward to my next Krav class. Had my wisdom teeth taken out recently and took a week off, and I’m going nuts!
Richard
