Two a day training - pre, intra and post workout nutrition?

[bjjgear]

Just wondering what everyone's general nutrition approach is to twice daily training. Do you use the same pre/intra/post nutrition on the 2nd workout as your 1st? Or do you tweak it somehow? Would love to get some insight on strategy.

What is your training routine ?

Wouldn't this mean more powder

This also heavily depends on the intensity and what exactly you are doing.
I know very few people who A. have enough free time and B. can train twice with proper intensity....its a tough ask.
If you were doing something like Legs in the morning then calfs, abs, biceps in the evening. Ok.
If you are doing back in the morning and chest at night, you are gonna dig yourself into a deep hole you might not be able to get out of.

Everything the same. When i was doing ppl sometimes I would split the workout into morning/afternoon workouts. Chest in the am, shoulders/tris in the evening. Preworkout was always cor/protein shake. Intra hbcd/aminos. Post steak or chicken with a slice or 2 of sourdough bread and honey.

A couple of days per week I will do MMA and a lift on the same day, split by several hours. I have a very routine way of doing pre/intra/post nutrition for workout 1, but end up doing random shit for workout 2.

Just wondering what everyone else does or would do. I presume it would make logical sense to do my same pre/intra/post routine for workout 2 as well.

The lack of replies in this thread is because we don't have any members who regularly train bodybuilding style twice a day. Those who have trained twice a day have said it wasn't something they could do long-term.

M5 - POST

M6 - PRE-BED


You can use the same protocol on second workout like you do on first or you can do the second workout without extra carbs if the body part isn’t your priority…. Or you can use half of carbs.

For example you want to improve back but your arms are fine.

AM - BACK with all the shakes
PM - ARMS with just EAA or half of the carbs you had during your first workout.

Also depends - if you’re bulking or cutting/insulin usage.

If i was You during bulking I would use the same shakes, when cutting I would use intra carbs only during first workout (but it’s just me, some guys would use twice).

When it comes to nutrition… example.

M1 - 125g carbs PRE

M2 - 150g carbs POST

M3 - 100g carbs

M4 - 125g carbs PRE

M5 - 150g carbs POST

M6 - 75/100g carbs

With extra 50-150g carbs around workout (shakes).

Brother I appreciate it. That approach makes perfect sense to me. Thanks for the detailed response!
