Maximize Workout Recovery

Double Dipping – Key to Maximizing Your Post Workout Recovery

Most people who work out are cognizant of the need to refuel the 
muscles after a hard workout. However, most are not aware of the 
"double dip" factor for enhancing the building up of the muscles 
after a workout.
 
Since resistance training exercise is closely associated with a 
significant decrease in muscle glycogen due to the stressful nature 
of the exercise (for example, 3 sets of biceps curls performed to 
failure can stimulate a 25% reduction in muscle glycogen) those who
perform hard resistance training are wise if they focus on replacing
those lost energy stores.
 
That's because a reduction in muscle glycogen can cause the next 
workout to bomb in a big way if the glycogen is not effectively 
replaced. And if you lose 25 percent from curls, imagine what a few 
hard sets of squats or deadlifts do to your glycogen levels! The only
adequate way to address that situation is with quality and timely 
refueling.

Repair is key factor

Registered dietitian Jean Storlie notes that "bodies have a lot of 
work to do to repair tissues that took a beating during exercise and
replenish energy stores that are depleted. In addition, during 
periods of intense training and competition, when there is little 
time to recover between workouts, post-exercise nutrition becomes an
even more important factor in enhancing performance and preventing 
injury."
	
Replenishment, in the right way, is vital. But were you aware that it
is a two step process? That is, if you want to maximize the 
rebuilding effect, don't stop at a single load.

Research from the University of Ontario, Canada, has shown that a 
recommended dose of carbohydrates (0.5 grams of carbohydrate per 
pound of body weight) immediately after a workout and again at one 
hour after the exercise has a beneficial effect on protein metabolism
by decreasing breakdown and enhancing retention.  Eating carbs, 
especially those specific high glycemic types that are digested and 
assimilated rapidly, really expedites workout recovery.

Getting those carbs is crucial. However, carbs alone won't be enough.
You need a mix of protein and carbs to fully refuel the muscles. The 
best post workout recovery comes from a mix of protein and carbs. 

How much protein? The research points to a 20-25 gram intake after 
training for maximum results. You want your carbs mixed in with 20-25
grams of quality protein.

Make the first intake of the carb/protein mix a liquid shot. That's 
because liquids digest and get to work quicker. For your second 
intake, about an hour or two later, you can go ahead and have solids,
such as a meal of eggs, cottage cheese, etc.

By doubling up on your refueling effort, you can make the maximum 
recovery from your workouts and get the growth going again as fast as
possible. You can arrest the muscle glycogen depletion by smart 
nutrition, and by attacking the issue frequently after the workout 
is over.
