How?s my Timing ?? (supps)

crotalus667

Ok im a little worried that my supplement timing is a little off on my work out day’s ,So Id greatly appreciate your opinion’s ,
here’s how I take them

-2hrs to workout : pre-workout meal
-1:30hrs to workout : As the pack says 30 minutes after my pre-workout meal, I take my first supplement - Animal pack multi vitamin + about a pint of water
Right before workout : 2 caps hot-rox extreme + water , this is one of the one that concerns me it says on the bottle take on an empty stomach is 2 hours after eating (1and a half after ten tabs) called an empty stomach ??
20 -30 minutes into the work out (30 minutes before I start on the weights ): I take No Shotgun (+ the correct amount water) which says to be taken 30 minutes before resistance training and at the same time I take animal stack 2 which also has to be taken 30 minutes before the workout it says on an empty stomach , Is taking it at this point ok ??

During the workout I will also drink about 1-2 bottles of luczade sport, and 1 or more litres of water
My workout lasts about 3-4 hours (I usually finish with another hour of cardio as im trying to droop weight)

Post work out , ON whey + white bread

So what do you guys think of my timing ??
how long after you have eaten one of your 6 a day do you have to wait until you have an empty stomach ??
And finally after taking a hot-rox extreme on the empty stomach should I wait before eating ??

ok you say that you are looking to lose weight but what exactly are your goals as I am more worried about the structure of your actual workout programme as oppose to your diet, So can you also post up the full structure of your workout plan and then we maybe able to see where your supplements maybe falling down

Ok I am far and away from an expert but are your training sessions not way too long.

3-4 hours seems very extreme. I understand you are trying to lose weight but surely with training sessions that long you will lose some muscle aswell

It’s not that I think that my sups are failing down it just timing im worried about , (I just started adding the hot-rox extreme and the animal stak 2 to my stack yesterday)

Here’s my work out

Stretches (normally only done if I got a lift to the gym other wise it’s about a mile ‘ish walk with all my gym gear)

20 minutes on the treadmill im aiming to get 2.4 k in under 10.45 I have actually done this on 3 successive occasions recently then I treat the rest of the 20 minutes as hiit,

30 minutes on the stationery bike

2000 meters on the rower (this depends on availability and my mood some times I will do this after the weights)

All these are done in 4 sets of 8 -10 reps some times in the first 1-2 sets I will do 12 reps

Leg curls -130lbs

Leg raises -120lbs

Incline dumbbell fly-10kg

Bench press (smith machine)- 50kg (40+ the bar @10)

Shoulder shrugs -22kg

Lateral behind neck pull down-110lbs

Lateral raises - 8kg

Push downs - 60lbs

Standing barbell curls (Olympic cheat bar) 20kg +bar

25 reps per set of ab crunches using a weighted ball doing figure 8’s around my legs (sorry I forget the exact name of the excise

15 reps per set of the back extensions using the ball

15 reps per set of leg raises ( these take me a while )

2000 meters rower (about 7-8 mins)

12 push ups

20 minutes bike

12 push up’s

20 minutes either bike or treadmill

12 push up’s

Stretches

I do this workout every other day , on some of the off days I might go up and do an hour and a half or 2 hours cardio , if I do a cardio only day at the weekend Ill do it on an empty stomach first thing in the morning (I get my best results on the tread mill on an empty stomach)

The basic workout was done up for me by a Pt (im due to have it redone in about 2-4 weeks ) I added more cardio to it , he designed it with my goals in mind and in the knowledge that I like to do long sessions in the gym ,

Ps

Here are my current stats (as of about 4 - 6 weeks ago)

Height 6,1--6,2 (I was measured in centimetres and cant remember what he said)
Weight 93 kg (I was about 21 stone at the end of February)
Body fat again I cant remember exactly what he sad but it was about 30%
