day after carbup

[rez]

i train in the morning, the day after carb-up and wondering if its necessary to add fat to my preworkout meal? i usually have whey+flax..should I drop the oil?

 

[The Shadow]

Adding flax negates Whey's advantage of hitting the system quickly - so I would recommend no.....do not add to WHEY at anytime really...except possibly bed to extend the absorption time.

i posted this question on another board, and they said I should without a doubt keepthe flax - why is this so confusing!

 

[The Shadow]

...well - everyone is entitled to their opinion - evenm if it is wrong in this case with regards to whey advantages in hitting the sytem qyuicky

why do you want it to hit the system quickly? sorry if this is going around in circles, but i want to prove the other guy wrong

 

[The Shadow]

you have been fasting all night long...the body is dying for some protein and carbs - so you use whey - which has the advantage of getting into the system very quickly......adding flax will greatly hinder that process.

Im not anti-flax at all.....I think it should be taken in moderation throughout the day except for meal in the morning and immediately after training.


Perhaps you should get him to tell you why it IS important.

so on non-carbup days i should have the flax before training?
