for my PWO drink, I mix a scoop of Twisted Cherry Nectar protein (only 50 cals for 23g of protein) with a glass of V8 fusion (cran-blackberry)
delicious. I look forward to the drink the whole time im working out

how about planning cheat days? let’s say your goal is to eat 1500 calories per day, then just eat 1000 calories for four days in a row, then on the fifth day you can add in those 2000 extra calories. 2000+1500=3500! Boom! you got yourself a badass cheat days with 3500 calories

i find for me the best results come from a sugary protein drink (such as gatorade and whey, or even fat free icream (which is loaded with maltrodextrin) with whey mixed into a shake) I do this not so much for restoring(which it accomplishes to do) but in order to create an insulin spike that drives the vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates and amino acids as soon as possible into my muscle cells so they can return to an anabolic state and start protein synthesis as soon as possible.

Why listen to anti-steroid spammers and mistakes of god like steroidsR4? Check steroidTRUTH channel for the honest TRUTH about the positive effects of anabolic steroids.
Always ThumbsDown and hit “Spam” on all SteroidsR4/AreFor and her girlsfriends posts.

can you please make a video explaining fructose vs glucose vs sucrose

That whole sugar reason is why i like to take my creatine drink right after my workout because it’s loaded with like 30 grams of sugar, it’s basically kool-aid with creatine. Do you think an energy drink would benefit someone who has a very high intensity cardio/weight training program? I do understand that they have a lot of caffeine and everything.. Oh and your videos are EXTREMELY detailed i’m so glad i came across them! Thanks!

I like the idea of cheat meals better, like one meal on Wed and one on Sat or Sun.

Steve,
Love all your videos. Just a question: can I replace my glycogen storage with high-glucose foods after a workout? You mentioned drinks. I was wondering if it also applies to food. Perhaps it takes longer to digest and doesn’t have the same impact as the drinks.
I’m into bodybuilding (not professionally or competitively). But I have intense, compound exercise-based routines. Deadlifts, bench press, squat, military press, standing v bar rows, leg presses, fewer isolation, etc.
Thanks!

I don’t recommend having a coke. Your muscles need a nutrient-dense carbohydrate source after an intense workout. Eat fruit instead to replenish your glycogen stores.

I’m also a HIT lifter. I tend to do HIT most of the time,..and VOLUME 12 weeks a year. But that’s me. I like the HIT approach, it suits my time schedule very well. I believe very much in the ” Less..but Harder = More” equation. I don’t cycle that much because I like to reap the benefits from ONE 12 week cycle of training,..and then use them in the next cycles of training. Nevertheless, when I switch back to volume the variety makes it all interesting and fun. You get the best of both worlds!

What about eating an orange and drinking a lot of water directly after a workout.. would that be good enough to replace those sugars?? Need Help..

Hi steve,
Im a med school student and avid lifter. Ive been maintaining my size for years. Im happy at 5″10, 168lbs, 8%BF. Recently I begain doing HIT. Finished my 1st cycle of 5 weeks. I have always cycled exersize routines. I understand the principles of utilizing different fibers / etc. but thats the whole goal of HIT (not hiit). To exhaust every aspect / fiber of your muscle in an intense and short workout. For the first time in years I gained str. Should I still cycle it?

I dont think akastanley was attacking Steve, I think the opening statement was a complement actually.
He didnt ask for your opinion on Steves quals.
I too am a competitive athlete, perhaps you should stop blowing your own trumpet. Maybe akastanley just wants to increase his knowledge further and is curious on what to read, am I right?
PS Steve, well done on yet anohter 5* video. Continue to bring the light to the fitness world, the first man since Mike Mentzer to do so.

” Steve, you’re a clever man.” That’s an odd opening statement. I’ll give you my opinion on his qualifications. I’ve been involved with sports and physical fitness for over 30 years now. Studied quite a bit and have competed in multitudes of sports..one at the professional level. I DO know a lot, but I’ve learned, re-learned, and clarified quite a few points on things that I thought I knew..here at BodyPerformance. TRUST ME, he’s qualified to speak.

I like to drink a 12 ounce Steel Reserve 211, 8.1%, immediately after my weightlifting workouts while I’m doing my stretches. It works- I can still deadlift 400 pounds for 10 reps at 43 with no steroids, ever. The Steel has the carbs everybody is talking about and it lowers the weightlifting induced hypertension. Steel Reserve is like a poor man’s steroid- why do you think it is the beer of choice of America’s homeless?

Pax you make some good points, but I gotta tell ya I’ve had just as much success in muscle gain and/or fat loss with BCAA’s and attention to supplements, and when I did not. I don’t take BCAA’s anymore, I don’t take protein powder anymore, I don’t consume protein bars anymore, and a whole host of other things I took in the past. I focus more on what I’m DOING, instead of what I’m TAKING. Creatine however is good if you don’t eat much red meat. I take fewer supplements, but plan and train better.

Yes you can do it, I do it all the time. You have to lift heavy and still cut calories, mostly carbs in the form of starches. Play with your macro nutrient ratios to see what works best for you since everyone is different. I can go as low at 15% of my diet on carbs and still function but other can only go to about 30%.

The suggestion below is only one variation and is not the safest if you train alone. You could do and should do more than three sets sometimes. Your muscles are dumb and only understand one thing and that is pressure. That can come in the form of more weight or more time under tension (isometric holds) with less weight. Map out your workout and do some program design for variation.
