PreWO, PWO, THEN another meal?!?! ugh....

**Slaiv** · 11-01-2007, 08:51 PM

ok so i take my PreWO, wait about 60min. before i go the gym, i go to the gym for about 1:15min, then go jogging for about 15min. after that and then i drink my PWO..... but omg..... after guzzling down that blender full of mixed stuff, then another hour later i do it again !!! i can fit anything else in my stomach after my PWO, since to my understanding you should have a good meal 1hr after your PWO, but goddamn! im like about to explode!! i have to much fluid/liquid in my stomach, how do you guys do it?!

am i doing something wrong? am i supposed to be hungry after my PWO? am i using to much water? i dont wanna drink cement, so i use a good amount of water to make it drinkable, but maaaan..... how can i eat my 6th meal when im already about to explode from my PreWO and my PWO?

is this normal? am i doing something wrong? or does this happen to everyone? thanks alot in advance guys !!!

bump!

Yea, I have a feeling you are doing something wrong. It sounds like you eat too much pre and post workout. eating a lot all at once isn't good.

I remember you are cutting. I would just recommend whey powder mixed in water before and after. Save the dextrose and whatever for your bulk. Then you should be ready for a good solid meal.

Instead of a preWO shake/meal 60 min before, I have a proper meal two hrs before...gives time for the food to settle down and be in the process of digestion. Ditch the dextrose, use oats for PWO and you can wait up to 90 minutes for your PPWO. You'll feel less congested that way.

DOn't ditch the dextrose and use oats...to slow digesting...what exactly are you using prewo, pwo shake, etc....????

ok one thing i can agree on is the wait for 90min. that sounds good to me, i usually wait 45min before i workout with my PreWO. then right after i dont use oats, i need fast digestin carbs (malto) and insulin spike (dex) so im stickin with that

as for the water amount, keep in mind, i dont want to chug a cement mix, i use the required water to make it drinkable

so far all i found is that i can wait 90min before i work out, maybe that can help a bit.

any other tips?

PreWO

3/4 cup of oats (36g)
2 scoops of whey (44g)
5g glutamine
5g creatine
5g BCAA

PWO

40g dex
40g malto
44g of whey
5g creatine
5g BCAA

after this, im bloated !! that is tooooo much fluid in my stomach!! not to mention the chugging of water DURING my workout

how can you guys eat a meal 30-45min after your PWO?! im like ready to throw up !!

**sonnygll** · 11-03-2007, 02:19 AM

who said 30 to 45? 60 to 90 is more about right in my opinion. If it's still in your stomach, you don't need more yet. If it is in your stomach a long time you probably ate too much.

Whey is LOADED with BCAA's, you don't need a separate supplement. Creatine should just be 5 grams after. The studies I have seen showed no additional benefit of taking more than 1 serving a day. It proved true in my case as well. The sugars are really for a bulk. The oats are a little heavy for right before your work out. If you need some carbs just eat an orange or something like that.

But I know how it is. It can be confusing. There is a lot of conflicting crap to sift through.

eat fruit for my PWO?!?! i dont want to spike my insulin just yet!?! are you sure about this?

**C_Bino** · 11-03-2007, 05:32 PM

I dont see why you cant stomach food after having a shake. But anyways if thats your deal than thats your deal and if you seriously are going to throw up well than simply dont eat. We cant really help you with that aspect of it to be honest.

But oats are great in the meal before your workout. I would say putting some fruit in with the oats is good. I use jam personally. But a purely fruit based carb source pre workout wouldnt be your best bet since fructose will fill liver glycogen and not muscle glycogen. You want to do a little of both.

why dont you wanna spike your insulin right after workout??

**Slaiv** · 11-03-2007, 07:37 PM

lol, i meant eat fruit for my PreWO, im sorry, thats what i meant, PREWO, not PWO :-P

and its not that ill throw up, i mean, im soooo full off luids after the gym that when i go jogging for 15min, i regurgetate some of it, yuck! it taste like chocolate throw up

and then i go inside and drink another blender of more fluids......

but so far with the 90min wait PreWO and 60-90min wait PWO, i think that hsould give me time to digest my liquids more intime for my real meal

ill try this method first, thanks!!

The best fruit for carb choice is a banana. Over 60% of the sugars in them are glucose.

**Slaiv** · 11-05-2007, 07:31 PM

ok i JUST took my PreWO shake

40g pro
40g carb
5g gluta
5g creat
5g BCAA

chugged it, and now im going to wait 75min before i head out to the gym. i usually wait 45min, but im going to try it this way since you guys recommend i wait a bit longer so my food can be digested

ill post back in another 2hrs and tell you how i feel....

btw... i do drink alot of water at the gym, thats very important. but like i said, im going to wait 75min this time instead of 45min like i used to...

hope this way works....
