Well if you do a hard workout without eating anything at all before, you are gonna get tired, and feel weak easily.  I think you should eat something like 2 or 3 hours before you work out, peace

what i do (or did, i havent worked out in months) is eat a few bananas or a protein bar before i work out, to give me that little energy boost. then while i'm working out just drink lots of water. Then i'll eat a meal like 30mins-1hour after my work out.

im no expert, but i find that works for me

this is what i do..I drink a protien shake 30 minutes before work out, and I go work out, Dont do any cardio before lifting weights, I know they say you got too to warm up, buts its all bullshit, because if u do cardio before lifting, you'l waste all your suger on running or whatever u do, and you wont be able to lift weights as u usually can, you would get weaker, now. To answer your question I always eat and go and afterwards when i get back home i drink another protien shake right afterwards, this way the food that i eat can digest better after i do 15-25 minnutes of running loose about 300 calories and when lifting weights, dont take more then 20 secs of pauses between your workouts. You'l burn way more calories belive me. So I would say eating before is better, it works for me....hope I helped..peace

Pre-Training (Competition) Meals
It is reccomended to eat 1 gram of Low Glycemic Index Carbohydrate per 2.2 lbs  of body weight 1-2 hours before competition.  Do not forget to load up on low glcemic index carbohydrates throughout the day as well.

Post-Training (Compettion) Recovery Formula
Consume 0.5 grams of High Glycemic Index carbohydrates per lb. of body weight for each 2 hours after excercise.  Also consume plenty of fluids along with each meal.  Be sure to use alcohol on moderation, as it will delay glycogen re-synthesis.

-Anaheim Angels Off-Season and In-Season Strength and Conditioning Programs, Brian Grapes and Trent Clark



I was also told (by the nutritionist for the Vancouver Grizzlies) that Yogurt before and after working out is really good.

um....no it's not.  

"Prior to any workout, it's important to prepare the muslces for the upcoming activity.  The first step to a proper warm-up consists of getting blood flowing to the muscles.  This is similar to letting your car idle befor putting it into drive.  The idling process gets oil flowing througout the engine, allowing it to run more efficiently.  The same princilples apply to the human body.  Warming the muslces prior to stretching them will enable you to get a better stretch and aviod muscle pulls during the workout."

-Anaheim Angels Off-Season and In-Season Strength and Conditioning Programs, Brian Grapes and Trent Clark

All you have to do is run, jump rope, or use the stairmaster for 5-10 minutes and break a sweat.  Then you're good to go.  And ALWAYS do cardio after a workout.  Otherwise you'll get a buildup of lactic acids in your muscles, and you'll be sore the next day.

Kaidy and ACGrundy and Suga Foot know wat they talkin about.. if U wanna lift to gain muscle then U have to lift about 2 hours after eating, at the point where U got energy and dont feel hungry at all...then at workout do a lite warmup bicycle for 3-5 minutes jus to get the blood flowing, sorry roccy ur wrong, and then go workout push dem weights like they keystyle rhymes nya...and after workout U can do alil cardio if u want and stretch good and immediately after ur strech its good to drink some high sugar/glucose drink...even a glass of OJ would do...and an hour after that its recommended to eat a BIG MEAL...high in complex carbs..to gain back the energy u lost workinout...protein isnt a must carbs are a must...but keep ur protein level high in general...peace.

It's simple, dude...

eat anything that has Carbs before your workout, to give you a boost of energy. But avoid carbs after your workout, because it'll turn into fat if you don't burn it.
then, after your workout, eat a shitload of protein, to rebuild your muscles. your muscles rebuild within 24 hours after you finished your workout, so drink protein shakes within those 24 hours

BULLSHIT, the only 2 times in da day carbs are essential are BREAKFAST, asap after  u wake up...and Post-Workout meal. No joke.

Same with what Suga Foot says...everyone recommend U warm up...and its not 10-15 minutse thats too much a lil 5 minute thing iz OK to get the heart beating and it doesnt take up too much energy..also U gotta warm up when U first start to workout a bodypart, forexample if U can do 130 pounds for 9 reps in B-press then do a 80 pound warm up with 15 easy reps to get tha blood flowing..its workout fundamentalz nya.

i know plenty of people who dont warm up before, and there all cut out with out taking any pills and stuff..the warm up thing is recommended, but u dont NEED to do it..unless u go to the gym less then 4 times a week, me I go to the gym every single single night..and before b-pressing or anything that has to do with lifting I do about the easiest i can do warm up that part, then go on heavy..whatever though, u guys are right and im wrong, happy..

Damn boo u nko thats mah job you talkin about :)
they right...good to eat big meal after working out esp in carbs n proteins that way body gonna use more of it as fuel ... not just for short term energy production but as a basis for muscle growth & replenishment.

Best to eat like 6 smaller "meals" a day if your looking for a healthier lifestyle cos then no ballistic energy requirements of body...ie ur tank always got gas...

 Ya needz ta join a gym ;)

sorry bro but u r right about being wrong..but we all learn at things in life....whos right all of the time? dont stress it

But what i will say is dont train everyday..that is more detrimental to your body than you know brother...your cells have no time to hypertrophy (divide n grow ie your muscles)
therefore you will find it actuall more difficult to build...take a day off a week n see how much more you can bench..
..if however you split your workouts strictly into body parts then all is good...legs..chest..back...arms etc etc ... ps can do abs everyday no problems there.

you should eat a medium sized meal...with good clean carbs about an hour before...after where most people are wrong here...the best thing is a whey proteing shake (about 40g's) mixed with skim milk, and about 30-40g's of dextrose and 5g's creatine and 10g's of glutamine if you use them...but you should be using the proteing shakes...it'll digest into your system faster than food and give you a spike in inslulin...then shortly after you've had the protein shake then eat another meal.....

if you're an ectomorph(skinny physique) dont do any cardio(you'll burn too many calories)

eat tons of protein preferably 1-1.5gs per lb of bodyweight to get the best quickest results from weights...this may sound hard for some but if you use the protein shakes and eat lots of foods like cottage cheese, chicken, tuna, steak, natural peanut butter...it'll be no problem

carbs...eat them....but make sure they are clean carbs...like oats, whole wheat bread, veggies

any more probs ask me
