HIIT nutrition 17 March 2010 10:13 (permalink)

Hi All,

I have a query that i cannot make my mind up on!
I am on a push/pull/legs routine, looking for lean gains. On my two off days i have been doing abit of Ab work and then 30 minutes of HIIT. Prior to workout i have whey and oats, but after i have been unable to decide whether i should be necking simple carbs (Dextrose) and protein or just protein alone. I have been taking the Dextrose of late but would like some opinions on whether people think i should be or not

Cheers

Best time to get the cardio done. By far the most effective in my eyes. "All men are born equally - some just train harder"

I would never perform HIIT training in a fasted state, unless you ate a carb rich meal before bed. I usually do a low intensity workout before breakfast, and keep my sprints/HIIT for later after some decent carbs.

As for PWO nutrution, I'm also interested in this. Currently I have a regular carb/pro meal, but would be keen to see the benefits (if any) of taking some whey in water, or even some simple carb PWO after cardio.
