Best Pre Workout Meal And How Long Before Weight Training!?

[SiNiSt3R1]

Looking for some ideas from my pals here at PM. I usually will do some oatmeal with some cinnamon to help with insulin spikes and a mixture of casein/whey protein with about 10oz of 2% milk. Any thoughts on what works for you and the ratios I should be shooting for? Is it different depending on the body part you train etc?

Thanks...

A study showed that even in a FED STATE(consumed a meal within the hour) a combination of 15-30grams glucose and 15-30grams of amino acids increased protein synthesis even further. It also attenuated protein synthesis post-workout, meaning, now your post workout shake is even more effective.

Mix 1/2 cup of grapejuice with 1 scoop of whey isolate, sip it 30 min before your workout and continue sipping throughout the beginning of your training session. Add creatine(or other pre-workkout supplements) for increased effect.

Anytime bro. Make sure to be consuming clean whole foods throughout the day, every 2-3 hours. Drink this shake 30 min pre-workout IN A FED STATE(don't skip a meal!).

My last meal is about an hour and a half before my workout, so half an hour before I head out..I will have 2 scoops of Karbolyn, and 10grams of Pepto-Pro, with one pack of Emergen-C...that's it.

I workout in the AM as soon as I wake up so I get up, drink some water and then about a half hour before I leave the house have 16oz OZ, two scoops protein and 1 tbsp EVOO in a shake and then I'm good to go.
