Following some advice that Chad Waterburry gave me, I use 1/2 Surge during workout then rest after. About 40 minutes after that I start the timer, and for the next hour I enjoy at least 1 Classic Grow, Honeycombe or Golden Grahms w low fat milk, etc. In that hour I try to consume around my bodweight in carbs, and all the protein I can. Working great for mass so far.
I snack on dates (very high GI) post work out and maybe some fat free ice cream and fat free fudge. Not as ideal as Surge but I have seen great results with it.
I think you have CW’s advice a littled mseed. It’s actually supposed to be within’ the hour following the workout, not the hour and 40 minutes. But if it’s working, it’s all good.
Depsyphor:
It’s a good method for everyone. How much you take in will vary on how hard the workout was. I put on fat easily and used this method to put some mass on with very little fat gain. It’s a good method.
Here’s a post from Shugs, who in turn, took it from an interview with C-Dubya.
“My clients take in half a gram of protein per pound of lean body mass and a gram of carbs per pound of lean body mass in the hour after training. The carbs should come from bagels and cereals, mostly medium to high G.I. sources. It’s hard to get that many carbs in that hour, so you have to choose carb-dense sources. And remember, you don’t want high fiber cereals in this case, so I recommend a combination of bagels, Frosted Cheerios, Smart Start, Golden Grahams, and things like that. Fat intake needs to be nil in that hour, so use skim milk.”
