THIS SUCKS! I'm not talking out of my ass either b/c I've given a presentation on this subject and written an article on it:
First off I'm not fond of this Storm thing. Show me a single study showing that a NO booster works. And NO boosts are supposed to work via causing vasodilation. Vasodilation does not mean increased uptake into muscle cells. That's the function of GLUT transporters.
Second you are not consuming any carbs or protein immedietly post-workout. Get some carbs and protein in there, preferably whey isolate/hydrosolate and dextrose. BCAAs are a good adjunct like leucine etc. Protein and CHO's together have a synergestic effect on insulin and take you out of a catabolic environment and open the flood gates to the pouring in of nutrients and creating an anabolic environment. Naturally you want to do this as fast as possible.
Well you're not.
You have no carbs and then no protein.
Then you finally get some carbs. But a bannana? Fructose is a slower to metabolize sugar. It needs to be processed in the liver first and is preferentially stored as fat. Also not to mention you're getting it in the form of a banana which has fiber and will slow the rate of absorption. LOW GI!
So here's what you do: First off I don't see any need to waste money on the Storm. Just get yourself some plain old micronized creatine. They're a myriad of studies on it and I believe it works, I have yet to see a study from a manufacturer that shows the other forms of creatine are better.
So take your Storm with both dextrose and either whey isolate or dextrose. The dextrose or some other fastly digesting carb is the most important! This will IMPROVE your insulin sensitivity profile for the rest of the day.
Next what has been showing a lot of benefit is having a shake with some carbs while your training or before. Personally I think a great strategy is a pop tart or two with a shake a half hour before training. Yes I said pop tart.
Also about an hour after your post workout shake have a high carb meal with protein. And eat some more calories man; you sound anorexic for a bodybuilder. This is the most important meal of the day other than breakfast. Are you one of the 120lb 16 y/o's afraid to gain a lab and not see your pretend ab muslces or something? No! You're a 22 y/o male. So Eat up!
