recovery

[Drago]

If you want to do more weight workouts, spilt up your routine more, if you're struggling with recovery.

Plus a good whey shake immediately PWO, and maybe a little pre workout, would probably help, too. (quickest and easiest way of getting a fair amount of protein)

when i drink protein shakes i usually just rush to the toilet & its gone within minutes

Maybe you have lactose issues. A solid meal will work just fine. Try bananas and raw or hard bioled eggs.

What is a typical days diet like??

porridge/strawberrys/blueberrys

cottage cheese on wholemeal bread

protein shake

banana

some form of meat with potatoe & veg

protein shake

this would be usually monday-friday & weekend pretty much eat what i want

hows this sound?

thanks for everyones posts all of you have been very helpfull & i think i need to sit down & come up with a new workout plan & diet. i have been lifting weights for 20 yrs but my gains have been poor for past few yrs, when i was younger i trained hard & ate lots of chicken/bananas/spaghetti/protein shakes & made very good gains.

i am generally surprised by all your great feedback!

Just to clarify can u make them into meals?? Like is the banana a meal of its own?? This will help me out a lot.

Also if u could add times and when they relate to yoyur workouts that would help too.

Hi Drago, I read alot of the responses... I agree with mostly everything I read... Remember protein is very important in developing muscle...make sure you add some additional L Glutamine to your protein shakes aswell and add some flax seed oil too...make sure you stay hydrated all threw out the day and make sure your streching your muscles threw out the day...hold the strech too... and make sure your working out different muscles on different days otherwise you will NOT be building muscle...your muscle will go flat and your workouts with become catablic muscle breakdown...if you get the water, protein, L glutamine, flax seed oil you will be having anabolic muscle building routine... and sleep is huge! your body grows(repairs) when you sleep so get the rest too.
