Training Tips to Maximize Recovery. #1
February 12, 2015
Nutrition is a key part of training and recovery and it cannot be overlooked if you are looking to maximize your results.
I am sharing a nutrition insight that I use on a daily basis.
Ingredients you will need:
- Whey protein – I use vanilla flavor (you can also use another form of animal protein if you like; egg or soy)
- Juice
- Water
Just before bed place about 2oz. of water in a glass and mix in about 2 to 3 grams of whey protein. I use the scoop provided (20 grams if full) and fill it up about 1/8 of the way which is roughly the height of a pencil sideways. Drink the protein mixed in water immediately before you go to bed.
Then immediately after you wake up in the morning place about 2 oz. of juice in a glass and then mix in the same amount of whey protein, 2 to 3 grams, and drink it right down. Then eat your normal breakfast when you are ready.
Having a constant level of the nine essential amino acids in your blood stream when you go to sleep and wake up is critical in maximizing your anabolic hormones (testosterone and growth hormone).
Testosterone blood levels are typically the highest at night in both men and women. To maximize anabolic growth we must make sure the nine essential amino acids are present in your blood stream while you sleep.
Here is to maximizing your training results!
