PRE-Workout Question - SuperiorMuscle.com

Travers54 · #1 02-12-05, 08:28 PM

Hey, what I normally have PRE workout is 1, 6oz Chicken breast and 1/2 cup of oatmeal, could you tell me is this suffice or should I go with a scoop of Whey protein? If I should go with the whey should I take it with water or milk (again this is PRE workout)? Thanks.

i only take in the whey post workout...with water, not milk

right now i'm taking creatine pre-workout, but i'm guessing your not taking any?

the chicken breast and oatmeal should work fine for you, save the whey for right after

yes solid foods are always better preworkout, they stay down better. Plus i try to eat as mamy solid foods i can and supplement it with protein shakes, the more solid food and less shakes is a better day of eating for me.

How are solid foods better pre-workout? It mainly depends on how close to your workout we're talking. 10-15 minutes ore-workout, whey, simple carbs and some vitamin C powder is excellent. An hour pre-workout, whole foods are ideal. But the last meal you consume before you train should be liquid.

Hey YellowJacket thanks for the info, I am going to start taking ISS Satur8 fairly soon and it says to take 20 mins before training so would it be a good idea to drink some whey, grape juice, and take the Satur8 20 mins before I workout? And should they be mixed or seperate? Again thanks for helping.

Satur8 is great. Id drink my Satur8, wait a few minutes, then have the whey.

i guess you can't reply without trying to ignite an argument, can you?

you should really get a life, and quit trying to pick fights with everyone

lets try to remember that we're all here to learn, not insult one another. these arguments arent beneficial to any of us.

Theyre not much of an argument when theyre one sided, Im not even sure what youre doing here...

I agree wtih YJ, I try to have a whole meal about an hour 1/2 before workout, then 1/3 cup of oats mixed with some whey right before gym time. Then while at gym Im sipping on a whey protein, powerade mix.

Timma · #14 02-16-05, 01:15 PM

I like to eat some whole food like a 1/2 hour before workout. If I drink a shake, I get hungry during my workout, therefore I need something that's gonna stay in there longer.

Jordan · #15 02-16-05, 02:21 PM

YJ is right... if you drink a shake right before your workout, the nutrients should hit you right as you finish your workout... which is when you want them

voneber · #16 02-16-05, 02:34 PM

I usually work out right away in the morning when I get up. I eat a banana or piece of toast and then work out about 20-30 minutes later.

I work out, then I have Satur8 right after my last set and then shower and have a ON Protein shake. I then dress and eat breakfast.

Should I be eating more before I work out or is it ok to get most of the nutrients right after the workout? Isn't that when the body will be craving them?

I typically need more calories just to get myself going before the workout-I have typically started the day with a whey protein shake and 1 cup of rolled oats about 45 minutes before I workout.

Do you then have another protein shake after the workout or how many of shakes themselves do you consume in a day?

BBAddict · #19 02-16-05, 04:40 PM

Yeah, I do a protein shake with ON Pro Complex afterward along with more oatmeal with honey in it. that way I get simple and complex carbs and good protein source. That's usually it for shakes for the day-if I do anymore it would be a casein shake before bed.
