how many of you have tried the Gatorade + R-Ala before/during workouts?
- Thread starter AAP
- Start date
If you start doing this you will never stop. Just take 2 Glucorell R 15 min prior and drink Gatorade throughout the workout. This is the key to size and strength that most people are missing. When you finish you can just have a PW protein shake, I use ISO AGB of course, and skip the carbs.
Yes you should add your creatine if you like (not a big creatine fan here). I do 75g protein with no carbs PW but the ISO has acetylated Glutamine too. If you don't use ISO AGB then you should add EnerG to make up the Glutamine. You're going to take 60-90 grams of carbs while training so there will be plenty of glucose and still present when you take the shake.

This should be OK for dieting also?
Gatorade is laoded with electolytes, but I think the biggest thing is just the simple carbs. I drink dextrose and koolaid mix instead.
Ulter, could you give a detailed post at how your pre and post meals/shakes look from like 1 hr before to 1 hr after? Do you not take a pre-workout meal? Just simple carbs during your workout? I am starting to think I am flooding myself with carbs around my workouts. I do feel extremely powerful when I do this.
Here is what mine kinda looks like, looking for critique from some peeps, this always seems to varry big time depending on who you talk to.
-45mins prior to training, I have 1 cup of oats, 40g of whey, and a banana. I take 2 r-ALA prior to this meal.
-I sip and a dextrose/koolaid drink all throughout my workout. (about 50g carbs)
-Immediatly after my workout, I mix some more dextrose/koolaid into a protien shake with 50g of whey isolate.
-1hr later I have a meal with about a 40/30/30 split.
Thats how my pre and post workout nutrition is looking. I admitt I really get confused with dosage and timing of r-ALA. I figure the only place that it fits in with pre and post workout nutrition is before my trianing meal 45 mins before hand. Obvioudly there is no need to take it immediately after trianing with the post wo shake. I also thought that it wasnt a good idea to take r-ala right before your workout. Wouldnt this cause you to crash, even while sipping gatorade?

Bump.
i do the same thing carbs pre workout with r-ala
possible carbs during workout.. i prefer to have carbs but sometimes i cant drink while training (martial arts) so i miss it.
no carbs with shake.. not ala with shake just protein while doing light cardio or cool down type routine
1 hr late a good full meal with r-ala or slin
best way to recover i love doing this for the am workouts cause i feel great by the time i get to my evening martial arts workout. i do it again at nite and feel fine for my AM workout
good luck

Come on you guys, that post of Mavy's was at 3AM here. We're still trying to figure out what the hell we're going to do with FedEx and UPS shutting down for 5 days again because of Ivan. Pussies!!
I prefer Gatorade but Powerade will do.
Yes Georgie I remember, but you're the only one that ever reported this. In 20 years of research. I have no explanation.
I like the idea of oatmeal an hour prior to training. I use it. I take 1 Glucorell R with it.
Then I take 2 just before I start training and begin the Gatorade. You don't need to take any more than that for the next 4-5 hours. If you're low carbing then you don't need it all after that.
PW I used to have a large meal. Now I have 75gr of ISO AGB which is very filling so that large meal is now much smaller. But I still have a meal.
