Thread: Pre-workout shake~!

  1. #1

    Exclamation Pre-workout shake~!

    Is it a good idea to take a pure whey pretein shake with maltodextrin (complex carb) 30-45 minutes before your workout? (for added energy in the gym)

    23 grams whey?
    25 grams Maltodextrin?

    i heard that an insulin spike during workout inhibits the full GH release that occurs during training...based on that i would say no, but that is just my $.02 off of what i've been told.

    since whey and malto burn through you very quickly...you are going to end up peaking in the middle of your workout, then crashing towards the end. I would have a regular pro/carb meal 30-60mins prior to your workout. if convenience is an issue...try tai's whey/oats suggestion...at least you'll have sustained energy from the oats.
