Post-Workout Nutrition- A MUST

When it comes to nutrition, I always focus on getting as many whole food meals in as possible. The one time I can say I truly rely on a supplement over food is immediately post resistance training, and I'll explain why.

When we work out intensely, we damage tissues at the micro level, meaning we're tearing those muscle fibers. However, to build muscle, to get stronger, and to get leaner, those tissues need to repair quickly and efficiently.

So what exactly is it that you need post-workout? 1- Protein to aid in protein synthesis 2- Carbohydrates to help replace muscle glycogen

1st Phorm's "Ignition" is a monosaccharide (single cell) carbohydrate, meaning it's easily & quickly broken down to refill your glycogen stores & spike insulin levels. In fact, this supplement has a 6x higher spike in insulin levels than plain table sugar, making it the quickest and most optimal post-workout carbohydrate source out there. During this specific post-workout time frame, this insulin spike is exactly what you want, as insulin transports nutrients into those damaged cells. This process is optimized when paired with protein. Not just any protein though. A pure hydrolyzed whey protein powder. Hydrolyzed, meaning it's separated from any other carb or fat source, making it the purest form of protein to act in the quickest manner possible. When taken together, Ignition will shuttle that protein into your muscle to begin recovery process right away.

I take my Phormula 1 and Ignition shake as I walk out of the gym doors. They will digest and replish glycogen store immediately, so it's going to be important to consume a whole food meal, consisting of your protein, fats, and carbs about 45 minutes to an hour after this shake.

This post-workout recovery stack is NOT just for those with the sole goal of muscle-building. In a fat loss phase, nutrient timing plays a huge key in your success. Your body is running off less food, thus less energy stores. Before utilizing this stack I would find that the deeper I got into a fat-loss phase, the longer I was sore after my workouts and the less energy I had when I was done with my workout. Since taking this post-workout stack I've found I'm less sore after my lifts. If I train the same muscle group 2 days later, I CAN go just as heavy if not heavier because my body has recovered. This stack will help you recover better and faster, allowing you to build more lean muscle tissue, producing a higher metabolic capacity, and creating more progression in your fat loss journey.

If you're ready to start recovering from you lifts in the best way possible, go get your hands on this effecient (and delicious) post-workout stack, with free shipping too!
