Muscle Building Nutrition: How To Prepare Your Pre Workout Meal
Written by ama on August 28, 2009As we are all aware a good muscle building diet is critical to build muscle up. The timing of your meals is also important. Two hours before your workout is when I advise you to eat your meal.This should provide plentyof time to so that you don't start your workout when you are bloated or still feeling full and sluggish.
Ideally this preworkout meal should be something that you are used to and that you know won't make you feel heavy and bloated as you want to be at your best to give your all in the gym. Make sure it includes slow burning energy such as from rice or oatmeal and that you eat the protein part first. You risk making yourself lethargic if you consume the protein after the carbohydrate. This occurs as both the protein and carbohydrate cause the body to release specific chemicals that have differing affects. Protein stimulates the release of tyrosine which signals your brain to be alert and energetic as opposed to the carbohydrate that stimulates the release of tryptophan which instructs the brain to make you feel lethargic. Therefore always consume the carbohydrate last.
If you really want to know how to build muscles quickly then great advice is to drink a protein and carbohydrate shake about half an hour before you workout. This will significantly boost your energy for your workout. Ingredients ought to include whey protein, maltodextrin, wxymaize or dextrose. Try to shoot for about 25 grams of protein and about 40 grams worth of carbohydrate. Doing this will increase your bodies insulin levels which is one of the bodies strongest muscle building hormones. Furthermore it will also cut down the amount of cortisol that is produced by your body which has a negative impact on muscle building.
Remember that you aren't going to breaking any personal bests in the gym if you are feeling tired and hungry when you start your workout. Always try to keep fruit or meal replacement powders or bars to hand should you ever not have time for a proper solid pre-workout meal.
As regards caffeine why not try get your hit from a nice antioxidant loaded green tea it provides less caffeine but is also a good deal better for you in many ways. Finally, don't forget to keep taking on board the water, this is critical too. Ok bear those things in mind and you'll be hitting the gym in peak mode for an awesome muscle stimulating workout which you will be able to grow from because you will have had the correct muscle building nutrition.
