RPM timing & dosage

[ninociamik]

Hi guys,

I just started using RPM. I usually take RPM 2.5 hours after lunch, and then around 45 mins after RPM, I take pre workout meals (usually chicken & brown rice / peanut butter) did I do it right? or do I need to wait longer after taking RPM.

My weight is 174, so I take 3 caps. my question is, how many caps do I need to take on non-WO / cardio days? I usually take 2 caps first thing in the morning......


thanks guys

I wouldn't have a heavy meal like that 45 minutes after dosing RPM, as it will blunt the effects a little. If you want to eat as heavy as that then I suggest dosing RPM 2 hours after lunch and then wait 60 minutes before having your pre-workout meal.

As far as non-training days, use 1-2 caps first thing in the morning (or whenever you need energy, at least 60 minutes pre-food); otherwise you don't need to dose it at all.

Consodered heavy meals?

Yes, I would say that anything not a protein shake pre-training is heavy, especially if you're having heavy carbohydrates like brown rice.

As I said, have your pre-training dose of RPM 2 hours after lunch and then have your pre-training meal an hour after that...OR dose RPM 2 hours after lunch and then do your training an hour after that and have your rice/chicken AFTER your training (4 hours between meals is fine).

I personally do not see the point in eating such a meal so close to training, since exercising with food in your stomach slows the digestion of the food. But that's just me. Each to their own.

All right rosie, I'll change my pre WO meals into protein shake then.

by the way, what would be considered light meals? only protein shakes? I plan to use protein powder + 1 tbsp peanut butter OR 1/2 tbsp of VCO...is this OK?


Thx very much

I would wait ~30 minutes, but yes.

Everyone will have their own definition of a "light meal". To me a protein shake is not a meal, but would fall under that category, along with smoothies, just protein, MRP, etc. Using the "protein powder + 1 tbsp peanut butter OR 1/2 tbsp of VCO" would be fine.
