Title: when to take which supplements
Post by: stakeknife on June 08, 2006, 05:14:13 PM

i'm sure everyone saw this in july issue of M&F, explaining what supplements to take and when to take them in relation to your workout. (i know m&f bullshit and they're just selling, but imo this is a decent article)

For anyone who didnt read it, goes like this (short version)

Weight Training
30-60 mins preworkout
3-5 grams arginine (increase blood flow to muscles)
5 grams glutamine (energy)

0-30 mins preworkout
20 grams whey protein
40 grams carbs
3-5 grams creatine

0 mins postworkout
5-10 grams leucine (stimulate muscle growth)
5 grams glutamine w/ glycogen (maintain levels in muscle)

30-60 mins post
40 grams whey
40-80 grams carbs
3-5 grams creatine

Seems overkill on the creatine to me but other than that simple and sensible? comments...
