Top Rated Workout Supplements - http://athleanx.com/x/tryathleanrx

are you feeling as if you’re maybe not getting everything you want out of your supplements it could be not what’s in the bottle but what you’re mixing it [Music] with what’s up guys Jeff Cavalier athleanx. com as I mentioned in the open if you are a supplement user and you’re not getting the results from your supplements that you may have thought you should it may not necessarily be what’s coming out of the bottles but it’s what you’re mixing it with now guys as I mentioned a few weeks back I covered in depth my athlete RX supplements I also tried to show you guys that the supplement industry can be a tricky one to say it kindly now this is not about pushing the athl RX supplements on you you are free to take anything that you feel works best for you I’m the biggest advocate of telling guys to do what works for you however all I can do is tell you that the research and the science that went into the creation of these three supplements is what makes me as confident and wanting to recommend them to you because I feel like they’re going to give you the best that you can possibly get that is why I make these videos but the good thing about this video is it’s not about what’s actually in these bottles it’s about again what we’re going to put them with so as we covered here guys three supplements for me is what you we’re really sort of talking about in terms of categories a pre-workout supplement a post-workout supplement and the one that most people seem to forget or Overlook that I think is just as important as these two is our overnight recovery supplement overnight is when you repair muscle and repair and and and uh experience regrowth because of what you’re putting into your body that sets the stage of recovery three options for mixing generally we have milk it could be nonfat or whole milk juice or water so what I did was I figured let me put together a little chart to show you each one of the work the the supplement C atories pre-workout post-workout and overnight recovery and then the things you can mix them with so let’s take a look at that chart all right so on this chart here guys what you’re going to see again like I said down the side here pre-workout post-workout and Recovery the mixer up here water juice skim milk home milk I know you guys St Patrick’s Day beer is not on this list okay these four categories now when we’re talking about pre-workout for me the Clear Choice is water why because we want to hydrate pre-workout we want to make sure that we are not dehydrated at any point in the workout especially if your pre-workout has caffeine in it we want to make sure that we are providing adequate hydration so we do have other options here for hydration but if we move to the far end of the spectrum milk is not going to be that great of a choice sure you can do it I said but I don’t know if you guys have mixed most pre-workout supplements with milk they taste like crap it’s not really meant to be there it should be more in a watery consistency that’s why I go with water whole milk actually it’s no no why because when we add the fat in from whole milk we’re going to get a slow a slow emptying of the Pre-Workout into your system so that’s going to actually delay the effects that you’re trying to get from the supplement in the first place and it’s also going to uh interfere with blood flow to your muscles when you need that the most during your workout so even if you’re a hard Gainer whole milk not the time for your pre-workout as far as juice goes you have to be careful here because with juice you can actually overload carbohydrates actually interfere with the the uh with the release of the carbohydrates to your muscles sort of the way we try to do with excite is to stagger them to give you the uh carbohydrates in both slow and then more rapidly digestible form so that you get a more sustained energy release if you overload on your on your carbohydrates in your pre-workout you can overload and overdo that interfere with that effect and also give yourself cramps or some you know gastric dis you know discomfort so not what you’re looking for especially as you’re heading out to competition moving on we’re going to go to the post-workout category and I think this is the most interesting because one thing that everybody talks about is you got to load up on your carbs after your workout and I actually disagree with that advice when we’re looking at our post workout we want to make sure we have one thing primarily and that’s protein see when we get finished working out we actually have an increase in insulin sensitivity now I’m not saying insulin levels guys I’m talking about insulin sensitivity because there’s two big differences there insulin levels if you increase your insulin levels which you’re going to do if you actually overload on on on sugar after your workout you’re actually going to decrease your growth hormone secretion and igf1 which is another growth factor that’s something you don’t want to do and also if you’re a guy that’s actually looking to burn some fat if you take in your glucose or your high you know your high sugar car after your workout you’re actually going to interfere with the normal fat oxidation that was going on after your workout you actually turn that process off so it’s better to limit the amount of carbohydrates that you ingest after your workout if you’re going to try to get the most muscle building and simultaneously fat burning effort so for me we look at this category now we say no which is shocking to some but we say no we say no again to the fat and the mil and the whole milk because we don’t want to delay the absorption again in this post workout window which leaves us with two options here we have water or skin milk I make two notes Here guys yes if it’s late within your post-workout window for water or yes if it’s soon after for skin milk why is that skin milk actually can conglomerate or glomerate with the uh whey protein in your post-workout so that will actually slow down the digestion of your whey protein in the absorption so if it’s early in the post-workout window so you just just finished your workout and you want to get the best benefits of your weight protein it’s okay if it if it if it is slowed down a little bit with the mixing with the milk because you still have that window time frame to be able to absorb that if it’s late in the window hour hour and 15 minutes after you’ve done work you know you completed your workout you might want to get that in a little bit sooner and benefit from the the fast absorption of the way so in that case I would probably mix it with water moving on that final category that I mentioned before for overnight recovery now again same for option guys water skin milk I mean juice skin milk and whole milk this ironically is a point in time where your whole milk especially if you’re a hard Gainer not if you’re a guy that needs to be lean out and still you know gain muscle but get to lean at the same time I wouldn’t recommend it but if you’re looking to put on some muscle and you need to put on size cuz you’re a hard Gainer this is the time when it works the best because what the extra fat does is it actually does a couple things number one it’s going to slow the digestion again like which was the reason why we didn’t use it earlier overnight so you’re going to get a prolonged release of what you put in your body so that helps now the other thing it does is it actually has a protein sparing effect so that we can preferably use the uh triglycerides in the fat for energy you know preferred source of fuel as we’re breaking down overnight to allow the protein to be used more for synthesis and regrowth so in that sense it works it’s actually why in rx3 we in we include medium chain triglycerides for that very reason to try to allow for tho
