Preworkout, Postworkout Shakes

I am shortly going to start a new HST cycle (currently doing the UD 2.0, and cutting like crazy).

I weigh around 198 lbs pretty with a bodyfat % of around 8-9. I am usually at around 12-15% BF.

Was considering the make up of the pre work out and post work out shakes. Here's the suggestion.

Preworkout:
30 grams maltodextrin
30 grams whey protein(80%)
3 grams creatine

Postworkout:
30 grams maltodextrin
100 grams whey protein (80%)
3 grams creatine

One hour later:
100 grams maltodextrin
30 grams of caseine/whey blend
5 grams flax oil


Suggestions?

Thanks,

Zack

 

why do you have such a high amount of protein post workout? I would rather do something like this:

post workout:
30g whey
0.7-1g dextrose for 1 kg of bodywheight - therefore around 80g or so

1-2 hours later (your next meal)
the same as you splitt up your macronutritions...


why do you take more protein post workout?

 

It is suggested in the HST FAQ to go high with protein, low with carbs, in the first postworkout shake. Then one hour later fill up with the main feed of carbs.

At least that's how I interpreted it.

Zack is refering to the same quote I posted in the Post Carb thread, but I don't remember it saying higher protein, only lowering carbs, but perhaps Zack saw something I overlooked.

 

yea I think 100 grams more of whey is too much, you'll just be burning through your whey supply in a hurry.

 

Ok.

It's 80 grams of protein, since the powder is 80%, BTW.

Still, I realise that either number, 100 or 80, isn't what we usually aim for.

Considering lowering the initial protein serving to 60 EFFECTIVE grams of protein. Would mean around 75 grams of powder.

Thanks for the help BTW. I appreciate the input.

About non-100% protein powders, how simple carbs-like is the carb part, usually?

 

What is "effective" protein?

 

Let's say you have 100 grams of protein powder and it is 80%.

Then it is 80 effective grams of protein powder.

A lot of people (noobies) use the weight of the powder when they measure how much protein they are getting.

This is the real way of measuring it obviously.

?

thats a novel way of putting it

100g of protien powder (well usually a powder made from other compounds, not really a 'protein powder' but more casein powder, whey powder and the likes)

if it is 80% protien, thats all the protein in it, the other 20% aint ineffective protein, its ash, sugars, fat, flavourings etc...

 

Sorry for not being as clear as you.

Thanks for making it more understandable.
