Anyone else eat "raw" honey before working out?

[Raptorex]

I love it - comes with the propolis, pollen, and wax - I think it increases energy...

 

[vixensghost]

Honey? Eat raw?

I'm aroused....lol

 

[digimon7068]

no. . .me thinks the "energy" is probably from the sugar high. . .which is usually followed by a crash. . .

 

[Bikini Mod]

Pure natural sugar? Of course, it will give you an instant boost!

 

[yonkers weights]

Instant boost but a hard crash.

A guy that I know who worked with the Evander Holyfield, Tyson etc told me about honey in water with some lemon for an energy drink.
The guy was amazing.
Probably 60. 5'6" 165. He could outlift anyone due to a breathing technique he learned. He used to say all your strength comes from channeling oxygen into the muscles.

Few people realize the importance of proper breathing. Without 02 your body will not be able to properly utilize the energy available in your bloodstream. A simple sugar is absorbed IMMEDIATELY so your bloodstream is flooded with energy. But if you don't have enough 02, your energy utilization will not be maximized....

*sigh*

I can't tell you how many times over the years I have stood over people trying to help them get breathing down...

Some yes... then there were those that couldn't get a proper rhythm.

"Exhale as you do the effort."

"EXHALE AS YOU DO THE EFFORT."

"Breathe in ...... Breath out..... Breathe in ...... Breath out.....Breathe in ...... Breath out..... Breathe in ...... Breath out....."


The only time I ever got annoyed is when they really weren't trying.

Interestingly enough, I found that the clients who had the biggest challenges (as in limitations of some sort) were also the ones who worked the hardest for me.

OK; here is what I am doing in the a.m.

I add Bee Pollen Granules to my plain yogurt, with blueberries, a strawberry and flax.

Before I go to workout at noon - I take two teaspoons of raw honey - followed by my shake which includes 2 scoops of protein, 5 grams of glutamine and "fast twitch - basically a creating, nitro blend"

I swear I am getting incredibly vascular with this combination - I am 100% natty and have gotten both size and vascularity.

 

[KickNitRight]

Breathing is very important.

I used to eat honey. But my stash ran dry.

 

[vixensghost]

MMM...The recipes looked great on the site too. Thanks!


My husband had taken a tbls. spoon of honey per day to keep his allergies at bay. You have to use local bee's for this treatment though.

 

[Sub-Zero]

[Raptorex]

what's the point in having a 'tein shake before the gym? why not just eat a meal and wait an hour?

 

[Raptorex]

I eat after and always have supplemented throughout my workout - just my way.

Hey Bro, hope life's good!

Well, I don't go for raw honey, but I know what you mean about needing a sugar drive before training. I like to have some chopped bananas and yougart.

The only time I don't do this is before a boxing lesson once a week where my trainer makes me want to throw my guts up by the time he has pushed my aching creaking body to its extreme limit!

I've always wondered about that allergies thing. It actually works?
