when to take my "stuff"

[yaboyjjones]

Hello,
Currently I'm taking normal whey powder, Kre-Alkalyn, No-Xplode, and The normal Bcaa's (Amino Complex 1500 from the Vitamin shoppe)- (Let me know what else to try or what else to take). Right now, i eat 6 times a day, making sure i eat the right foods and taking in a good amount of protein. My issue is, lately I've been noticing no gains or no nothing from anything i'm taking. I noticed a lot of what i take should be on an empty stomach and i try to do that. My question is, when is the best time to take my stuff, before my meal? after my meal? 45 mins before anything? right before i work out ETC ETC ETC, I have noticed the no-xplode working and all of that before, just now i feel tired and weak before and after i goto the gym . Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Also, What Multi-Vit. should i be taken. I have taken many before, but most of them made me feel tired or made my face turn red a lot of the times. Any recommendations would be great. Thanks!

To answer your main questions w/o getting ahead of ourselves:

whey powder should be taken after a workout always.
you can take it in milk 30-45 minutes before a workout if you'd like w/ a very small meal.

kre-alkalyn should be taken before and after a workout on training days. 2 caps each serving and on off days take 2 caps in the morning upon waking up. This is considering you are indeed taking the caps.

BCAA's can be taken before, during and after a workout but i'm guessing you have the pills. I would recommend taking them after for sure, and if you'd like you can, take them before also.

No-Xplode must be taken on an empty stomach about 30-45 min. before a workout if I'm not mistaken which im assuming you already know.

The only other thing I can recommend is eating more because my guess would be you're not seeing gains because your diet is slacking, but then again....


what do I know?

With the whey powder, use as follows:

You should consume some whey 25-30 grams pre-workout, mixed with milk along with some complex carbs like oatmeal. Take this about 45 minutes before you workout. Also consume another 25-40 grams of whey mixed with water and some type of high glycemic carbs, like dextrose, vitargo, or maltodextrin. You can even use grape juice.

The NO-Xplode, I took 30 minutes prior to working out.

The BCAA's should be taken right before the workout. You can also take them during. I also take another serving right after my workout. Then 20 minutes later, I have my post workout whey shake.

The Kre-alkalyn, you want to take(assuming you got the capsules), 2 capsules before your workout and 2 capsules after workout. On non-training days, take 2 capsules anytime during the day. I usually took mine in the morning.

As for vitamins, I took mine during my first meal after my workout. Good time then because your body is still absorbing and needing nutrients at this time.

Thank you for the great answers. When should i be eating before i work out? Should i eat, then wait for that to disgest, then take my no-xplode since that should be taken on an empty stomach. OR take the no-xplode on an empty stomach, wait 30 mins then eat? Understand what I'm saying here? Thank you again!

Well I usually have a small little workout meal consisting of mostly carbs with a whey shake in milk like I recommended. Anything from a simple PB&J sandwich to a bagel. Then I would supposed you wait an hour and you take your NO-Xplode as directed.

Follow the directions on the tub. I can't remember if it's an hour or 2 that you have to wait after eating.

I like GNC's Mega-Man "sport" for a multi-vit.
