I've been reading these forum for the last couple of weeks. I'm going to try my first HST cycle 11. october.
I'm trying to get my diet in order for when I start. But I'm confused about the pre/post carb intake.

Same for protein, not sure about protein intake either. I know about the ~2 gr per kg over 24 hrs but what should I shoot for pre/post?
Thanks in advance, I'm looking forward to reading your replies.

Pre/Post exercise nutrition (articles section)[b said:Quote[/b] ]Anyway, my point is this, Take your protein without (or with less) carbs immediately after you workout. This will allow more amino acids to skirt past your enterocytes and liver and make it into the blood stream where they are taken up by skeletal muscle. Then take your carbs one hour later, which still allows you to take advantage of the metabolic "window" post workout.
From Eating for size (Article section)[b said:Quote[/b] ]It is recommended that at least 0.7 - 1.0 gram of carbohydrate per kilogram body weight be consumed immediately after exercise and then again 1-2 hours later. If you experience gastric upset try increasing the amount of water you consume with the carbs.
So which one is it? 1 gr per kg or is 20gr pre/post enough?[b said:Quote[/b] ]PRE-HST
1 scoop PRIMER 20g
maltodextrin
Or
PRIME+*
HS:CRE (5g)
POST-HST
1 scoop DRIVER
20g Dextrose
__ Tbs Flax
Or
DRIVE+*
