BEST POST-WORKOUT

08.04.2018

For the past years I've been consuming protein as my post workouts, this has a lot of benefits. A lot of girls ask me if consuming protein will make them look butch and "bigger" and my answer is always no. I'm going to give you some basic tips when starting to drink protein and which one should you buy.

THE MYTH ABOUT GIRLS CONSUMING PROTEIN

Protein won't make girls look bulky. I highly recommend drinking protein as a post workout; this will help to recover your body and muscles. Why should you drink it after workout? Because your muscles absorb better what you consume after your workout (don't let it pass more than 45 min). Protein helps to grow muscles and burn fat, which help to tone your body. No, using weights and lifting it's not bad for you; people who get bulky drinks a lot more of supplements and their workout are a lot more different.Your muscles need the proper recovery, stretching and a correct nutrition is the key for better results.

¿WHEN SHOULD YOU START CONSUMING PROTEIN?

What I always told to people is that they need to be conscious when they workout, know how much effort they're putting on and knowing what type of workout you're doing

First: If you only do cardio I don't recommend you to drink protein, also I recommend you to lift weights for better results (but that's another subject)Cardio WITH WEIGHT it's a yes for protein: you've to evaluate 2 things if you use weights and want to drink protein: the amount of reps and the amount of weights.If you use low weight make sure how many reps you do in intervals of time (im talking about 20 reps or more in a short interval of time, less than a minute) Why? Because even if you're using low but you're doing a lot of reps, you're putting your muscles into a process that makes you break little "fibers" that constitute it and needs the proper recovery after that. And of course if you're using high weights and doing an amount of 12 to 15 reps, you are also breaking muscular fibers, so is a yes for protein.
