I have just been told i am not training correctly because of no sugar around workout time?
you were talking to an idiot. sugar isn't necessary at all any time.I have just been told i am not training correctly because of no sugar around workout time?
any food intake spikes insulin to some extent. Why do you want to spike insulin? You want to gain fat and become a type 2 diabetic later in life?Is there another way to spike insulin?
There's no evidence sugar is ever needed, he is talking about pre workout not post, and his goal is fat loss not gaining mass.Eating a single serving portion of haribo gummy bears after a workout isn't going to cause you to get type 2 diabetes. All this does is elevate your blood sugar so that your muscles will accept nutrients more readily. Oh, and btw sugar is needed.
NopeOh, and btw sugar is needed.
How the heck do you drink whey mixed with gatoradePost workout I like to have 20-32oz Gatorade and mix it w/ 2 scoops of whey. You got your fast digesting protein and fast digesting carbohydrates. Gatorade is also made w/ Dextrose sugar.
The same way u drink it w/ water or milk duahhhhh lol. It does not taste bad and dont knock it till you try it. Red Gatorade and chocolate whey. Really goodHow the heck do you drink whey mixed with gatorade
I literally just gagged that sounds disgusting lolThe same way u drink it w/ water or milk duahhhhh lol. It does not taste bad and dont knock it till you try it. Red Gatorade and chocolate whey. Really good
It's actually not. Do some research on post workout carbs and you will conclude that Gatorade is a great choice.I literally just gagged that sounds disgusting lol
Unless you're a fasted endurance athlete, sugar is not needed.Eating a single serving portion of haribo gummy bears after a workout isn't going to cause you to get type 2 diabetes. All this does is elevate your blood sugar so that your muscles will accept nutrients more readily. Oh, and btw sugar is needed.
Even in that scenario is it really "needed"?Unless you're a fasted endurance athlete, sugar is not needed.
The research by Ivy, which is the basis for the post-training sugar usage, is on fasted endurance athletes. I can't recall the exact training loads used, but they expended far more calories than a normal lifting session.Even in that scenario is it really "needed"?
Only scenario I can imagine is for athletes training several times a day (i.e a football player who does conditioning drills/sport specific training and weight lifts in the same day then I can see how you may "need" carbs
you should read up on HFCS. that **** will kill ya.Post workout I like to have 20-32oz Gatorade and mix it w/ 2 scoops of whey. You got your fast digesting protein and fast digesting carbohydrates. Gatorade is also made w/ Dextrose sugar.

it doesnt! oops. my bad.Powder doesn't have HFCS.
if you read what the original poster wrote, its sugar PRE workout that he's asking about, not post. thats what the title of the thread reads anyhow.Alright, I'm assuming he's not trying to drop the last two percent of body fat to get to 6% for competition here. We are splitting hairs now. A little bit of sugar post workout is going to do more good for his muscles than its going to do bad for his body fat percentage. If y'all want to be sugar nazi's, be my guest. I'm not saying lots of sugar is good for you, but I'm going to stick to my fast acting carbs post workout. I know it works, and that's all I need to know.
Yes, I know. And if you read my original reply I addressed that with my opinion. Then I stated that I think sugar post workout is a good thing. Then you went off on a tangent saying sugar wasn't ever needed.if you read what the original poster wrote, its sugar PRE workout that he's asking about, not post. thats what the title of the thread reads anyhow.
no you saidThen I stated that I think sugar post workout is a good thing.
Because you said it wasThen you went off on a tangent saying sugar wasn't ever needed.
it appears, according to wikipedia, that just last year gatorade stopped using HFCS and switched to a sucrose-dextrose combination. good to know.Gatorade doesn't have HFCS... Powerade does though
3g of Leucine is the generally accepted amount needed for mTOR and protein synthesis.Well, the insulin response is beneficial to hypertrophy and recovery via the effect of insulin binding on mTOR and the resultant increase in protein synthesis.
How much CHO is needed, and if it is even needed post workout is still up for debate. BCAA, especially leucine is quite insuligenic.
