4 Post Workout Foods You Should Be Eating

Post Workout Foods and Why 

1. Protein:  Try to incorporate 20-40g of protein 30-60 min post workout. Fast digesting protein (isolate) or a whole food source like chicken, turkey, salmon, shrimp, eggs etc. Some studies have shown that having protein powder post workout is beneficial because it takes away a lot of the digesting process of a whole food. Allowing your tired body to digest quickly can initiate faster recovery.

 

2. Carbs: Your body has used up almost all of its glycogen storage. Don’t just have protein post workout and forget about the carbs. Aim for a min of 30g of carbs 30-60m post workout. You can also use fast digesting carb powder like vitargo or karbolyn. Or you can use whole food sources like sweet potato, rice, quinoa, oats etc.

This is not me telling you what to take – it’s just my honest opinion about supplements

since some people have been asking about creatine, amigos, “advanced blends”(whatever the hell that means), and other supps.

Over the past 5-10 years I’ve tried more samples and new products than I can probably count. Read More »TORQUE SUPPLEMENT GUIDE

Accepting Your Training Responsibility

Yesterday I was training legs at torque, getting in the zone with my Sumo Squats when Dan passed by and complimented my depth and form. Big compliment coming from the king of powerlifting! We got on the subject of people getting low enough on their squats, and how there are few people that do. Which got me thinking, how couldn’t people be getting low on their squats, aren’t you feeling for depth in every rep?
