*a - this is usually one scoop of nlarge 2, 1/2 scoop
of 100% egg protein, mixed with 1 cup of soy milk (32g
protein, 27g carbs, 2g fat)
*b - I take either an Osmo build fast with me, or use
the empty container and fill it with 2 scoops of 100%
whey mixed with water - for use during workouts
*c - 2 scoops of 100% whey taken about 30minutes after
my homemade celltech - for food combining reasons. I'm
really not too sure how much food combining principles
applies here with dextrose (simple carbs) and protein
supplements. But the basic idea is that proteins need
an acid medium for digestion, while carbs require an alkaline
medium for digestion. When alkaline and acids mix, they
neutralize each other, and you get half-assed digestion
of both carbs and protein. Again, I'm not too sure how
applicable food combining is for this particular situation,
but I've stuck with this for sometime, and it seems to
work well for me. Many others usually will just take their
protein shakes together with their carbs at the same time.
** - I mix all my shakes with a turbo shaker. Very easy
to use, and saves me a lot of hassle compared to a blender.
If you do use a shaker bottle, make sure to put in the
liquid first and then the powder - this helps with mixing.
You can get a shaker
bottle here.
Well that pretty much sums up my daily schedule. Should
give you a good idea of when to take what and how much to
take. In the diet and nutrition guides coming up after the
training guides, daily food and caloric intake schedule
will be covered in quite a bit more detail.
Supplement Guide Summary
Okay! That brings an end to the supplement guide section,
and boy, was it long... Yeah, quite a bit longer than I
expected, so I presume the training and nutrition guide
will be pretty long as well. ;-) Now, let's quickly put
everything in perspective:
"Regular Supplements" - The
big 3 here are whey protein, creatine, and glutamine. These
3 should be the basics of any supplement stack, everything
else comes secondary.
"Other Supplements" - Everything
else fits in here. Some are worth trying, and some, well,
are questionable.
"Health Supplements" - The only
two which I use regularly are flax seed, and a multi vitamin.
Some things to keep in mind:
- Take your whey protein during and post workout with
water to allow fastest absorption, and take your protein
(s) with milk or soy milk at other times of the day.
- Take in a simple carb drink after each workout (ie.
my homemade celltech recipe will do fine)
- Keep your body fueled with food, snack, or a shake every
2 to 3 hours (you want to grow right?)
- Make sure to allow time for at least one more solid
meal after your workouts - you have a 3 hour window where
your body is in an anabolic state, and you want to take
advantage of this by feeding your muscles
I guess this pretty much sums things up. I hope you learned
something so far, and hope i haven't bored anyone yet. ;-)
