Supplements/Fitness

Ballisong

Hey after a hard workout, your body needs both carbs and protein, taking it in powder form is very convieneant, take 2 scoops of a carb drink and 1 scoop of a protein shake with about 700 mls of water. This option can be expensive, the o natural way would be have a turkey/chicken sandwhich and a banana. Hope that helps, the supplements i use are USN Muscle Fuel and USN Pure Protein, they taste ok as far as supplements go and they mix easily enough. They won't make you bulk up as long as you take them in moderation along with a balanced diet and a good cardio workout.

I usually buy in my local gym here in Galway as they sell it pretty cheap, but you can get good deals and free delivery at fitness ireland, not sure of the web address but if you google fitness ireland it will come up.

I wouldn't recommend anyone take supplements unless they are a serious athlete and are undertaking a very strenuous exercise program.

After training, eat some fruit. This will replenish your carbs in a way that nature intended. If it's protein you need, bring a chicken breast along in a sandwich bag. The plus side to this is you'll look mean as hell tearing into this as you leave the gym.

Hope this helps,

Take creatine and whey powder, pump the ould iron and become HUGE! That way nobody will f*ck with you and you won't need martial arts.

Creatine is not a good idea. It doesn't nothing for you other than apperance changes. If you're really bothered, go for dorian yates pro peptide after training. I don't bother but I'm planning on soon. So out of shape

Kiwis are the best source of energy one can eat before and after training. Full of protein and also they act like a drink as well as food source....

From http://food.oregonstate.edu/faq/uffva/kiwi6.html

In 100 g peeled fruit from New Zealand was contained: water 83.9 g; total sugar 9.1 g; invert sugar 8.2 g; total acids 1.38 g; protein 1.02 g; crude fiber 1.10 g; ash 0.74 g; ascorbic acid 57 mg.

Hardly full of protein imo.
