Question On R-ala And Pre Workout

[Ulter]

-Ulter.....
I was wondering what the possible benefit would be to adding R-ALA BEFORE & AFTER my workout.
This would be part of my heavy bulking phase this winter and would consist of a simple 30g Carb/15g Protein shake during my workout, as well as a 80g Carb/50g Protein/10g Creatine Shake Post-Workout.
What would be your recommended protocol in this case?....remembering I'm bulking.
What would be the recommended R-ALA dosing Pre & Post workout?

Thanks for your time

Unless your workout is over 3 hours long there is plenty if Glucorell in your muscle cells when you finish. If you take it pre workout it's still there post workout.

Borg4902, Read Dr Matt on the top of the board. R means "right facing".

Ulter, BTW, how does r-ALA shuttle carbs into my muscles? How does that work? How does it know to that into my muscles and NOT into my fat cells? Does adding CLA increase it's effects? And what about someone using slin? Would it be wise to use r-ALA along with the slin?

I answered all this when I wrote my reply to your PM.

Glucorell R improves your insulin sensitivity. It makes the mitochondria (powerplants) in your muscle cells fire up and run better. It's like throwing oxygen on a flame. When this happens the muscle cells become "hungrier" for glucose. So when you eat carbs and they are converted to glucose the muscle cells will absorb more of it. If you don't use Glucorell R and you're insulin resistant then there will be excess insulin produced to feed the cells. Think of insulin like a spoon holding up the glucose for your muscles to eat. If your muscles don't eat then the body keeps making more and more insulin to hold the spoon up until the glucose is gone. After a while the glucose will all be stored as fat if the muscles don't take it.
So Glucorell R holds down the excess insulin your body might produce by causing your body to dispose of the glucose faster.
There is no point in using it with insulin, and yes, insulin makes you fatter.
