If you want to know how to build muscle on of the most important tips you can pick up is learning to utilize the post-workout window for nutrition. Today we'll be looking into this and teaching you how to get the most out of it.
Building a better body is often made out to be almost rocket science when in truth it's the age old basic rules which still yield results. Despite all of the technological advances we have made in the industry, the basic rules of hypertrophy remain exactly the same.
If you are a regular exercise enthusiast or trainer you may or may not have already heard people at your local fitness center or health spa talking about this. For a while it was simply a rumor, an almost mythical 'golden period' after a training session where your body would be able to make fantastic strides forward if you used the time wisely. It has since been proven to be a fact, of course, and today we're going to answer the most commonly asked questions. These include:
* What is the duration of the window?
* What should you consume to get maximum results?
* How does this situation exist in the first place?
* What happens if you don't make use of the golden nutrition window?
Every question shown above will get answered today. The phenomenon of this window takes place because our body is starving of nutrients in the post-workout period. The most intense the workout was, the higher the rate of starvation the muscles are going through.
Your muscles are starving and they want to eat immediately. Whatever you decide to eat in this short period will be consumed as quickly as possible by your body. Try providing it with an already nutritious option and you'll notice that your body is able to make the absolute most of it.
The length of the window also answers the question of what food you should be looking to eat. It only lasts for around 45 minutes post-workout.
It wouldn't make sense to eat some complex carbohydrates or any food type which is going to take the body 4-5 hours to break down...
This is where shakes come in very handy. A post-workout whey protein shake followed by a source of simple carbohydrates will work wonders for your results. Quick carbs are usually associated with fast food or chocolate, of course, which isn't the direction we want you to go in. Instead, use healthier options like cereal or fruit.
These provide your body with instant energy, which it's craving after you put it through the mill at the gym. It will do it's best to use absolutely everything you provide it with during this time, hence the term 'golden window', but the possibilities are magnificent if you focus on only providing it with healthy, nutritious food in the first place.
Should you miss this golden window there is no need to panic. The damage by missing it once or twice is absolutely minimal, this is something which will enhance your results if you hit it on a consistent basis but won't wreck your progress if you miss it here and there.
Knowing how to build muscle or how to lose weight effectively is one thing, of course. Doing it is another thing entirely. You're now the proud owner of the information many people in the gym never discover. Use it wisely and it can push your own results to the next level.
