    PWN after cardio?

    What kind of post workout nutrition do I need after cardio if any? I am all about PWN after resistance training but I am unsure about after cardio. Would it make a difference if I were bulking or cutting? If so what would be the best for both phases? Thanks

    when and how are you doing your cardio?

    what is your PWN after workouts?

    what type of diet are you running?

    Usually playing basketball for cardio around noon, so I eat a few eegs and oatmeal about an hour and a half before but I am getting ready to start PCT soon. I really didnt need anything specific, I was asking more in a generality for both cutting and bulking. Just assume I am on a proper diet for each phase respectively.

    Respectively always use like 3g Vitamin C and 400IU Vitamin E PWO along with your fast acting Protein (Whey) and some simple carbs to refill glycogen. Stay away from ingesting fats or EFAs immediately PWO. Then, soon afterwards (maybe 45mins-1.5hours later) get some complex carbs and real protein in your system.

    And this is for cardio workouts correct, not weights. On the days that I do cardio I split up my weights and cardio by at least 6 hours so they are always two seperate workouts.

    For a low intensity cardio session I usually have a single protein scoop right after I shower at the gym (about 15 mins post cardio), then have a balanced meal 30 mins later when I get home. It's always worked for me. If the session was high intensity than I will have a PWO shake closer to that of a weight workout, but with less simple sugars.

    If you're cutting, then incorporate less carbohydrate PWO, however I'd definitely include a good amount of Whey + Water soon after (like 15 mins). Also, the Vitamin C and E should definitely be used, maybe on days you lift, take them after lifting rather than the cardio. I don't really need to do much cardio so I've always kept my Post-workout nutrition pretty standard.

    When I run in the AM, I take I ingest whey + water, then run... then when I get back home I eat breakfast.

    I abbreviate for expedience in delivery of information, and or convenience whilst typing out explanations, or repeated phrases, such as post-workout. PWO is so much easier. You do it too I am sure! Come on! I bet you even say them sometimes, such as BA - Bachelor of Arts, BS - (Bullshit) or Bachelor of Science, NBA - National Basketball Association, NHL - National Hockey League. etc. etc.
