A member asked:
What should i eat before and what after the strength training?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stick to a regimen: Get some carbs into you before your workout and you should be well hydrated. Drink at least 16 ozs water before/during your workout. Eating carbohydrates/proteins within 30 minutes of your workout helps muscle growth and replenish glycogen stores for your next workout. The optimal carbohydrate to protein ratio for this effect is 4:1 (grams carbohydrate - protein).
