Does food timing have any sway on the timing of these things?
Some, I’d like to refer you back to the article What You Don't Know About Workout Supplements - Diet and Nutrition - COMMUNITY - T NATION (under the first instance of the header “During the Workout”) but eating a healthy solid meal an hour after your workout will not negatively affect anything.
Maybe forgo the second Mag-10-pulse I suggested.
Yeah, like Allberg said, a whole food meal sometime after training is a fine alternative because the big work is already taken care of (ties back to what we said about pre/during being higher priority than post).
If you still want to double-down on recovery, you can pop that Mag-10 any other time of day. Some people (I think John Meadows too) talked about having it with meals because it’s still so fast absorbing, so that’s an option.
What’s your take on the “flavoring”… Nescessary?
Absolutely essential.
Good to know. Thanks again.
I’m going to quote a bit from the Surge Workout Fuel product page, because I feel as if it applies to Plazma and Mag-10 as well (perhaps even more so)
Do you train hard enough to earn it?
No apologies, no overstated hype, and absolutely no watering down the product to make it more economical. Surge® Workout Fuel is an elite supplement for elite athletes and those who train like them.
In all fairness, buy whatever supplements you want, but I feel like unless you are training hard enough it’s not as easy to discern why these products are superior to their alternatives as you won’t be needing what they are providing.
TRT has made me a new man. I’m in the best shape I have ever been. Consistently push heavy weight 5-6 times a week, force myself to take breaks.
I was looking to supplements for littie boost. (L Carnitine’s ability to increase Androgen Receptors really caught my eye)
But I think my money and health would be better off if I dialed in my nutrition better.
Here’s how I would rate things in order of importance:
If you haven’t already, spend a week weighing everything you eat to tick off 1 and 2 seeing as you now know what you need about 3!
I honestly think my biggest problem is problem #1.
I use to be a heavier guy so I’m always afraid of putting on fat.
Weighing/Counting calories was the very LAST thing I ever wanted to do regarding working out, but it seems I’m headed that way.
I know a little bit about fitting macros and caloric deficit/surplus/ Have a lot of reading ahead of me. But mainly I have just been trying to eat healthy, and eat MORE if I my body is telling me to do so. (I.e, hungry all the time)
I wouldn’t say it’s a general rule (eat if hungry) because, well, that won’t work for everyone and there are plenty of different reasons for that.
I’d say that baring eating disorders weighing one’s food for a time is super insightful.
