Bullshit in terms of, one person might tell you A, and another B, but neither of them are right nor wrong. That’s the way I view things at least. Objectivity.
I still think you should not worry about this and just get jacked but I definitely understand your curiosity . Perhaps, you should collect empirical evidence yourself by using two separate methods for 3( or 6) months at the time and then compare your results… most likely, it comes down to “doesn’t really matter” in the long term of things.
Just like most people still probably believe that you NEED to drink protein 20-60 minutes post-workout or else “you lose your gainz”, which, btw, is ridiculous. [/quote]
Well, getting some quickly digested proteins (or di/tri-peptides or even free form aminos) with carbs within that window can definitely enhance ones ability to gain and recuperate. It all depends on what one means by “gains”. I and many others are firm believers in peri-workout nutrition (pre, during, AND after) for getting the most out of very tough training sessions. It is proven via real experience which is way more important than some studies.[/quote]
Yes exactly, if you feed your body nutrients consistently(pre/peri/po) then there is no need to worry about the “window”. In the long terms of things there is also not a reason to worry about a “window”(because consistency yields results) BUT I guess the biggest caveat is that most “noobs” or “believers of the window” have shit nutrition all around, so that one shake post-workout is the one sound nutritional decision they make all day.
That’s also how I view anyone(not all obviously) who uses pre-workout supplements: almost automatic sign that their nutrition is shit, otherwise, truly, you wouldn’t need anything besides a cup/pill of coffee.
