TBH i had never heard of this...however i stumbled upon doing it by necessity...for me...I always had with me for post workout a mix of bcaa, creatine, protein and a carb mix ( lately rice flour )..as i add as little water as possible and eat it as a thick paste...drinking even a shake i feel bloated..this way i never do. However, id been dieting and often at times got extremely hungry during a training session as id got to the gym later than planned having ate earlier. So i then started having my mix usually prior to my last exercise or two...unless it was back or legs days. I was usually okay on these days as just the one bodypart.
I actually felt my muscles soaking up at times...but the other benefit i found, which was mentioned in part 3...i was able to eat my next meal sooner and despite dieting...the extra calories werent a negative aspect..i generally follow eat when hungry....this routinely tends to be the 3hr mark anyway...but varies as you know...
So...point being...i love it...and now..' off season ' so to speak...still do and relish the extra feed/calories...
Good article...thanks
