Personally, Im on a cut, I follow a PF and PC split... Pre-workout I have 2 scoops of whey with flax in water Post -workout = Immediately = 2 scoops of whey with 1/3 of dextrosePost -workout = 2 hours later = chicken/tuna(40-50 pro) with like 1/2-1 cup of oatmeal.... Only carbs of the day for me...No energy problems... Eating complex carbs pre-workout wont have effect b/c it takes too long, 3-4 hours, until the energy enters the blood stream...Supposedly, simple carbs pre-workout causes an insulin spike, which then causes you to be tired...Never experienced that....

Currently 1 hour preworkout 40 grams of oats, 2 scoops of whey concentrate 20min before 2 scoops of Go and 1 vasopro eph tab Postworkout 50 grams of oats 2 scoops of whey proteinI am not a big fan of simple sugers ( dextrose ) after lifting, my gains have been more lean switching to oatS Also I would have the shake postworkout avoid milk products etc it will slow down digestion. After my shake I wait an hour and have a regular meal SIxpack

Even complex carbs don't take that long to hit the bloodstream. Eating a bowl of oatmeal an hour before working out, for example, would be fairly effective. Simple sugars shortly before working out (<30 minutes) would also work. Excercise itself will stabilize/lower insulin levels, so the insulin/ blood sugar crash isn't going to be an issue.

since i'm cutting right now, my pre-workout meal is whatever the last meal was that i happened to eat before i go to the gym. post is just whey and maltodextrin in about a 2:3 ratio (low-volume/high intensity training.) but ideally, if i were maintaining i would have some natural peanut butter and a complete protein (either whey or cottage cheese) pre-workout, a shake consisting of whey, dextrose, and maltodextrin in a 1:2:2 ratio immediately after lifting, and an hour later i'd have about 100g carbs/50g protein in the form of high GI cereal and skim milk or egg whites.

beore workout small meal with little protein and mostly complex carbs... complex carbs are fastest to digest. Protein digests much slower and should be eatin just after workout. that's when the body needs it. otherwise you'll have some blood trying to go to the stomach for digestion when you need it in your extremeties. the bodies energy turn over rate is 24-36 hrs. so don't worry about loading up the carbs an hour before your workout on monday, the energy won't be produced until tuesday. simple carbs spike bld. suger. If this hasn't happened to you, great. but i still wouldn't advise it.

I wouldn't recommend fat's before a workout - at least not close to it. It's helpful to have EFA's in you before hitting the gym, but much before since they aren't useful as an energy source really... fats will slow down the digestion of everything taken with it, including Whey, which isn't something you want pre-workout. For this reason, I follow this protocol: 1.5h pre - Chicken breast/Oats 15 mins pre and during - 1x Whey and Go if carb depleted Post - Whey and Oats 1.5 Post - Complete meal - Solid protein, Oats and EFA source. Regarding dex/no dex, there is much debate - generally, both work, it's just a matter of preference. If you want to stick on the safe side while cutting, go oats, that's my advice.

PRE-WORKOUT- buckwheat pancakes with honey & cottage cheese DURING- 1 serve of Swole plus an extra litre or 2 of water POST-WORKOUT- egg whites, whey, raw oats & honey in water tried the dextrose & malto for a while and got way too fat. the oats & honey work much better for me. R

Best Pre & Post Workout Meal?
Just make sure you have a decent amount of Pro/CHO in you before..
