I'm losing fat and gaining muscle fine. However, I dont want to eat dinner at 10pm at night.

i had a feeling that would be the answer. Since i'm taking the shake directly after a workout should I wait my normal 2 hours? I would assume the shake would digest faster since the muscles are starving and there isn't a slow carb in the shake.

I know this is most likely a standard question but I can't find any straight answers: I lift after work around 6:30pm. I have my PWO shake directly after my workout. Typically I eat around every 2 hours. Since I don't end up leaving the gym till 8pm or so I end up eating dinner around 10. I...

According to the Max-OT concept a good lift is about 30-45 min. Any longer can lead to over training and using muscle tissue for energy once your glycogen storage runs out. Overload your muscle tissue for just under an hour. If you can go longer than that either stop or you push yourself harder...

check it out and give me your thoughts

According to Max-OT to achieve the best workout these guidelines must be followed strictly. Train 1-2 muscle groups each workout. Performing 4-6 reps every set. Performing 6-9 heavy sets for each muscle. Rest times are 2-3 minutes. Workouts should last 30-40 minutes (30 minutes is optimal for...

Starting the Max-OT workout next month. Anyone tried it or heard anything negative?

I've noticed that after an intense workout i shake. Today I worked my chest and shoulders, both to failure on each exercise. My upper body was shaking when I finished. I've had this before with my legs. Anyone seen this? Am I missing something or is my body just telling me it's had enough?

I can lift for about an hour and 15 min and run about a mile without anything in my gut. I have my protein shake right after then eat breakfast about an hour or 2 after that.

My PWO shake is protein, glutamine, and dextrose. I have the same thing at night except i replace the dextrose with a slow carb. I take a multivitamin, 2 greet tea extract pills, and CLA with each shake. The only time i get a bad fat is a little bit in my natural peanut butter. Did my...

I understand it won't be stored but will my body use the pre-workout food for energy instead of burning off fat? Thats my concern.

I'm trying to lose weight too. I was afraid anything before my work out would be used as energy instead of fat tissue.

I lift early in the morning around 7 am. I do an intense lift and run for about half a mile to a mile depending on energy level and time. I don't or drink before I work out, other than water. I want to use the glycogen levels in my muscle tissue for my lift then burn extra calories and fat...

how long did you work to reach that point? Also, when you started what was your body type?

Got a tub of cottage cheese and some pineapple . . . and about gagged. I choked it down but discovered I still HATE cottage cheese.
