I spent the day learning from 4 of North Americas foremost authorities on sports?nutrition and performance at the ISSN seminar in Orlando, Florida today.
?Events like this show their enormous value in the fact that EVERY conclusion presented?is direct result of professionally run, doctor supervised studies. ?NO BS bro-science here!
The take-home messages from today were incredible, and applicable IMMEDIATELY to?YOUR training AND mine!
A lot of the seminar was based around pre workout, peri workout and post workout?nutrition.
PRE-WORKOUT
-one of the points that every presenter wanted to drive home was something that?everyone reading this email already knows, because I ask it before ever giving an answer?to a question......
WHAT IS YOUR GOAL?First and foremost it is necessary to determine what exactly youre trying to do. Each?person is different, has different goals, and have different chemistry.
The general consensus about what supplements should be taken pre workout seem to?be HMB, glycocarn, BCAA (or EAA), creatine and possibly a carb (which, as is explained??in MI40, is dependent on your goals, as well as your "limiting factor").
PERI WORKOUT(DURING WORKOUT)
The primary focus was on reducing what is termed "oxidative stress". Basically the?stress resulting from an increased oxygen consumption that occurs from intense?exercise.
It was said that the best ways to reduce oxidative stress(also known as "the ageing?process") was to supplement with Vitamins C, E, and selenium.
Alpha lipoic acid, and SOD were also mentioned as being large contributors to minimizing??the harmful effects of exercise.
Dosages are dependent on size of the individual and the amount of stress placed on the?body during exercise.
POST WORKOUTIt is well known that post workout nutrition is THE number one most important factor?in improved performance and muscle growth.
It is IMPERATIVE to halt the catabolic processes initiated by exercise immediately with?a carbohydrate supplement and amino acids or protein supplement. (hydrolyzed whey or?whey isolate like ISO-FLEX are proven to be best).
It was said that the most important things to be consuming post workout are obviously?carbs, Branch Chain Aminos, and glycocarn, and creatine monohydrate (still proven to?be the best type of creatine)I added my own twist to this post workout nutrition segment with something I learned?very recently about GREENS being the number one way to increase NO2 production?in the body (oh ya, it was also proven to be common knowledge the Arginine has NO?effect on this).
These type of conferences prove very valuable because they help to completely?dispel all the BS that we are bombarded with on a daily basis about new fads and?the next revolutionary product.
The truth is, basics are basics for a reason and no one is really creating anything new...?atleast not yet!
Supplements with a positive review:Whey isolate
Creatine (shown to have no negative effects)
BCAA
HMB acid
caffeine (not coffee)
LEUCINE (yes this is bold, so take notice!)
Omega 3
Greens(Bens addition ;))
I wish everyone 10lbs of NEW MUSCLE GROWTH!!
BOOM!
