Just wondering whether or not i should be taking a drink pre workout meal or shake. I read different opinions all the time. Also how about sipping a shake throughout a workout???
2 -3 hour before .. complex carbs ( oatmeal - brown rice - potato ) and solid protain
1 hour perior .. dextrose or glucose whith scoop of whey .. or if you don't have dextrose .. piece of fruit like a banana would be fine
Cheers mate, pretty close to what ive been doing, but i read that apparently doing this raises cortisol? hasnt stopped me tho, those shakes taste damn fine

.. the thing that i knew it is keeping glycogen levels as high as u could will reduce the effectivness of cortisol .. espesially pre and post workout
just be careful of taking in too much dextrose or carbs before weightlifting because that can just cause a rise in insulin levels and cause more bf levels instead of muscle building.

So is a cup of oatmeal good before a workout??? And if it is, how much time before a workout should a eat it???
Why not just drink a protein shake in low fat milk 30 min pre workout? Drink about a serving of it with some whey protein. Gives you a decent amount of carbs and slow burning protein, plus your whey.
Oatmeal I would also say consume about 30 min pre workout.

I do drink a protein shake before my workout. I was just wondering about oatmeal because the carbs give you an enery boost!!!
