    Started a new weight programme of high intensity stuff as recommended by trainer in TF Sandyford.

    Said to maybe work out after lunch as I need a decent amount of carbs to do it (I've worked out after just a bowl of Weetabix and nearly keeled over from being weak) and suggested the usual, pasta, potatoes and something with a fair amount of sugar to keep the levels up.

    Now has anyone any suggestions of what would be good for lunch in this case? I don't wanna go overboard with the carbs and actually put more weight on! What would be enough to get me through a 45 min work out?

    Wheetabix, potatoes and white pasta are high on the glycemic index (not 100% about the potatoes).

    Pre workout meal suggestion
    Brown pasta, tin of tuna, mixed with pesto (with olive oil base). Here you have a good mix of quality carbs, protein and fat.

    I always hear people saying to avoid it, but why is it considered so bad?

    basically the principle underneath it all is do a few sets til failure...
    Which is B0ll0X for any strength/power/speed athlete.
    In fact i cant think of any class of athlete it would suit unless your goal was to actually disimprove.

    train to succeed instead. record training in a notebook. aim for regular increases. if it aint hapnin time to rotate exercises.

    rules of the gym:
    do the opposite to most joe soaps and you'll be fine.
    examples:
    train to succeed not to failure: increased testosterone and other hormones psy effect etc
    break paralell when you squat not knee cracks as we call 'em: stabilty of knee increased, leg mass, ham/glute mass increased
    use good form not body english: more strength/muscle in the long run, less inj
    eat like a man not a bird
    sprint instead of jogging

    etc
