I can’t decide on how to set up my peri workout nutrition. I drive an hour to work so I have a good hour of driving before I can train each night. Currently I just drink about 35 g’s of whey with 4 g’s bcaa right before I train. When I get home I have a glass of fruit juice to boost insulin and recover.
How beneficial would a shake an hour before training, then a insulin boosting drink before/during training, followed by another whey shake post workout be? My current program is working, but I want to maximize my efforts.
Is having whey an hour before too far out to matter? BTW, I’m an ectomorph who trains hard so cals and carbs are not a problem.
As an “ecto” you should be training with as much food in your body as you can without negatively affecting workout performance.
Thus, your overall diet needs to be looked at before anyone can give much advice on per-workout nutrition.[/quote]
Sure. I eat every 3 hours making sure to get carbs and protein in each meal. My good fats are lacking somewhat. I get around 1 g of protein per lb of body weight. This is just a timing issue involving peri workout nutrition.

Well then, eat as close to your workout as possible and then consume Surge Workout Fuel, or follow CT’s current recommendations if you’re advanced enough, before and during training.
