Post Workout Supplements

2007-02-19T15:26:00.000-08:00

After a workout session is a great time for your body to assimilate many important nutrients. Your muscles are striving for protein, your body is depleted of carbohydrates, and your body is ready to absorb many important supplements.

First I recommend a high protein liquid shake. A liquid shake is absorbed quickly after a workout, and you can digest almost twice as much protein after weight training. For example if I can eat and digest 15-20 grams of protein any time during the day, after a workout I could digest 40-50 grams of protein.

Your body needs carbohydrates after a workout to replenish the glycogen that it used. Your body uses glycogen that is stored in the muscles and it needs to be replaced after using weights. This is one time a day that a simple carbohydrate such as sugar would be a good choice. It will digest fast and raise the blood sugar back up.

After a workout is also a good time to take other supplements because they will digest extremely fast. If you are taking any joint products that would be a good time to add them into a shake. Also, after a workout, creatine and glutamine would be a good addition to any supplement program.

Trainer Tips: Some products offer a combination designed to give you all of your supplements after a workout. Check out Genetidyne’s Aftermath. It combines carbohydrates, creatine, glutamine, antioxidants, glucosamine (for: joint repair), and amino acids all designed to help recover after a workout.

Trainers Note

The most common question we get as trainers at Complete Supplements and Fitness is: “How do I build more muscle”? This is a very broad question, and it starts with nutrition rather than training. If I want to gain ten pounds of muscle I must increase my caloric intake accordingly, since each new pound of muscle needs an additional 50 to 100 calories a day. If I increase my calories through diet or supplements while gaining muscle then revert to my previous caloric intake, I will not maintain my muscle size. My advice is to keep a good record of your diet so you can determine your caloric needs to increase and maintain muscle size. For more information about nutrition and training contact the trainers at Complete Supplements & Fitness: www.CompleteSupplements.com .

Genetidyne's LOSS

2007-02-05T14:06:00.000-08:00

A diet pill that says you will lose weight without work is lying! Genetidyne has a product called LOSS that I feel is the best overall weight loss product available. When LOSS is taken in combination with a healthy diet and a cardio program, weight loss can be accelerated. The main ingredient in LOSS is L-Carnitine (700 mg per serving). L-Carnitine is used to transport long-chain fatty acids to the mitochondrial membrane. This is a technical way of saying the body will burn fat for energy during exercise instead of other tissue such as muscle. LOSS also offers other metabolic enhancers including: Green Tea Extract, N-Acetyl-Cysteine, Guggul Lipid Extract, and Tyrosine. LOSS lists each ingredient along with their exact milligrams. This contrasts most diet pills which hide ingredients in “proprietary blends” so you do not know what you are actually ingesting.
