The Importance Of Eating Right After Your Workout
Hello my good friend it’s great to see you once again here…. as always! Hey Nino and the same holds true for me as well! Gee Nino something tells me that our meeting today is going to be very meaningful for me, so I brought my pen and pad with me just in case! Gee my friend that sure sounds like to me that your anticipating, another one of my valuable lessons in our discussion today! Well Nino I guess only time will tell if that holds true as you would sometimes tell “me” from time to time…. right!
Gee my friend you are definitely without a doubt not only starting to think like “me”, but also starting to talk like “me” as well now!
Gee Nino I know and I know for a fact that’s definitely…… a good thing!
So my friend that being said…. is there something on your mind that you want to talk to me about today? Gee Nino not that I could think of at the moment but if there’s something that pops into my head, that I want to talk to you about today I’ll definitely let you know! Ok my friend I appreciate that…… thanks!
Oh Nino wait a minute how could I’ve forgotton there is something I want to tell you, that I think is going to make your day today! Ok my friend let’s hear it….. then we’ll get to our next topic of discussion today!
Ok Nino it sounds like a plan!
Well Nino do you remember our discussion last week we had on doing “Super Sets”?
My friend as a matter of fact God and I remember quite well because if my memory serves me right that discussion we had, ended up being a very ”special” one at that since we’ve been together! My friend would you tend to agree with me on that assumption? Gee Nino absolutely…. I sure do! Nino because I believe if my memory serves me right our discussion we had on doing “Super Sets”, was actually the very first one since we’ve been together that we both were in agreement on!
My friend your absolutely right…. and I have a strong feeling that its going to continue with our next topic of discussion today as well!
Ok my friend that being said…… what did you want to tell me?
Well Nino I just wanted to let you know that since I’ve been “super” setting all of my exercises in my workouts lately, all my muscles in my entire body have been really worked to the “max” that I’ve never had them burn like this before since I’ve been training! Gee Nino would you consider that due to the fact that my muscles, have been burning so much…. a good thing or a bad thing?
Well my friend before I respond to your question….. can I tell you something? Gee Nino absolutely…. go right ahead! Ok thanks my friend! Well my friend I just want to let you know how proud I am of you, with your training as of late! Gee Nino if you don’t mind me asking…. why’s that? Well my friend I think it’s pretty simple why I say this! My friend simply because in our last couple of discussions we’ve had on training lately, you’ve really shown me alot of heart and desire to really bring your training up to the next level!
Gee Nino thanks I appreciate that but that’s only because of one simple reason! Gee my friend and what might that reason be? Gee Nino I believe the reason is quite simple and apparent by now because you’ve really helped me, develop a “No Excuse” attitude since we’ve been together in just about anything that I do in my life now!
My friend God and I are so glad to hear you say because helping you develop a “No Excuse” attitude is what my mission that God has me on is all about! Well Nino I’ll say it again…. your doing a great job! Well my friend it’s like I’ve said don’t thank me….. thank God for bringing Vanessa, Mark and Tom into my life for making Nino’s Mission possible!
Ok my friend that being said once again…. let’s get back to your question that you asked me earlier shall we!
Ok Nino and I have a strong feeling that your going to tell me that it’s definitely a good thing, that my muscles are burning so much when I’m “super” setting!
Gee my friend its like I told you earlier you are no doubt starting to think along the same lines as myself lately, because your absolutely right on with that assumption! My friend I know all to well how it feels when your “super” setting exercises and your muscles are burning beyond beleif, just ask my legs they’ll tell you simply this and I quote! “Gee Nino how do you expect us to support you on your crutches all day…. if we can barely stand”!
Well my friend let me just tell you that I love that feeling and you should as well because you know that your muscles, are being worked and more blood is being pumped into them so they can grow! So my friend I know in order for our muscles to get the full benefit of a “super” setting workout or any workout for that matter, we need to go home and feed them with the proper amount of protein, simple carbs, and fats right away!
My friend wouldn’t you agree with “me” on that assumption?
Gee Nino I have a strong feeling that your not going to pleased with my answer! So Nino that being said to be totally honest with you, I haven’t been eating anything whatsoever after any of my workouts since I’ve started training! My friend if you don’t mind asking you can you give me one good reason, why you haven’t been eating anything after your workouts? Well Nino to be totally honest with you I’m just not hungry at the time! Nino I usually wait a couple of hours after my workout, before I go ahead and eat something!
Well my friend you’ve done it once again!
Gee Nino let me take a wild guess again…. Hmm I believe I’ve just come up with are next topic of discussion this week! Gee my friend once again you couldn’t be more right with that assumption! Gee Nino let me go off on a limb and also say to you that I have feeling that I’m going to be receiving another one of your valuable lessons…… this time around on why it’s so important for “me” to be eating right after my workouts!
Gee my friend your two for two today because your absolutely right again! Well Nino I guess that it would be safe for me to say then, that both my pen and pad are going to be back to good use this week….. unlike our discussion last week when I didn’t need them! Yeah my friend your right but that’s ok! My friend because it’s like I’ve told you these are the types of weeks that I love when I have to put on, “my” teachers cap to teach you something important!
So my friend that being said…. are you ready to go back to school today and learn why it’s so important for you to be eating right after your workouts?
Gee Nino I sure am….. let’s go to school!
Ok my friend….. here we go again!
Ok my friend listen up because I’m going to get right to the point today, why you need to be putting the necessary nutrients into your muscles soon after you finish working them! Ok Nino my pen and pad are ready for action…. let’s hear it!
Ok my friend…….. great!
Well my friend first of all…. did you know that there is a general rule of thumb that we all need to follow right after our workouts today, in order for our muscles to receive the full benefits from each and every workout that we do! Gee Nino to be totally honest with you I was unaware of there being a rule, that I need to be following after my workouts!
Gee Nino what might that rule be?
Well my friend I’m glad you asked because I’m about to tell you that important rule that your going to start implementing, after each one of your workouts from now on without any excuses!
My friend are you listening?
Yeah Nino absolutely……. go ahead!
Ok my friend here’s the rule that pretty much all bodybuilders today live by, after there done tearing up their muscles! My friend they simply go home and within 45 minutes following their workout they go and feed their muscles, the necessary nutrients they need in order for them to grow and repair themselves! Gee Nino I had no idea until now that I needed to be doing this…. so soon after my workouts! Well my friend now you do! Listen my friend I’m only trying to help you get the full benefit of each and every one of your workouts, because I can’t stress to you the importance of eating within that 45 minute spand!
Gee Nino I’m almost afraid to ask you this but this is the only way that I’m going to learn today, on why it’s so imporant for me to be eating within 45 minutes after my workouts! Gee my friend how many times do we have to go through this you shouldn’t be afraid to ask me anything….. what would you like to know?
Well Nino as you know as I stated earlier to you I definitely haven’t been following the 45 minute rule, in where I need to be feeding my muscles following my workout! Yeah my friend I know and let me just say one thing to you about that ….. are you listening?? Yeah Nino and I have a strong feeling that your about to tell me that I won’t be waiting two hours after my workouts anymore, until I decide to go ahead and feed my muscles…. right!
Gee my friend you took the words right out of my mouth…… because your absolutely right! My friend and here is one good reason why that’s the case…… get ready to write this down!
Ok Nino once again… let’s hear it!
Well my friend it’s pretty simple in what that reason is! My friend which is simply almost all bodybuilders know today that right after an intense workout, it is crucial for them to get the highest quality of glucose, amino acids and creatine into their bodies it they want their muscles to keep on growing! Gee Nino I know for a fact that I haven’t been doing any of that! Yeah my friend I know that but I have news for you today, your definitely going to start doing that now without any excuses whatsoever….. right!!
Gee Nino absolutely….. you can count on it!
So Nino that being said…… what do you recommend I start eating right after my workouts then? Nino so I can definitely make sure that my body gets all these necessary nutrients that your talking about here, in order for my muscles to keep on growing! Gee Nino because as you know I’ve been training so hard lately, the last thing that I want to see happen is for my muscles to stop the growing process!
My friend I had a strong feeling that you were going to ask me that because I definitely, don’t want your muscles to stop the growing process either! So my friend that being said…. get ready to write down this very imporant piece of info so we can definitely make sure that it doesn’t happen!
Ok Nino once again… I’m all ears!
Ok my friend and I only know this because when I used to train with Vanessa she would always remind me after working out, to go home and feed my muscles these three specific things! My friend which is simply one scoop of whey protein followed by three plain rice cakes, with natural peanut butter and natural jelly! My friend I promise you that if you start today and go ahead and feed your muscles these three imporant key nutrients everyday following your workouts, there is absolutely NO WAY that your muscles can stop the growing and repair process that we all want to see happen!
Gee Nino I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you opening up my eyes today on how important it is for me, to get the right nutrients into my body quickly following my intense workouts! Gee my friend that sure sounds like to me that I’ve convinced you to stop waiting two hours, after your workouts anymore before you go ahead and feed your burning muscles!
Gee Nino you couldn’t be more right with that assumption! So Nino that being said…. guess what I’m gong to go home and do now? Gee My friend I have no idea….. what might that be? Gee Nino Com mon I know you know the answer! Gee my friend to be totally honest with you I must have forgotton….. can you refresh my memory! Gee Nino ok since you put it that way……. sure I”ll help refresh your memory!
Well Nino it’s quite simple in what I’m going to go home and do now! Gee Nino since its already been a couple of hours since I worked out I need to go home, and feed my burning muscles now because I’m way past that 45 minute window! Oh that’s right my friend thanks for reminding me, I need to go home and eat as well because its now been 30 minutes since I worked out!
Hey Nino I have an idea?
Gee my friend and what might that be?
Gee Nino why don’t I treat you to a protein shake and some rice cakes with some natural peanut butter and jelly on them! Gee my friend now your talking my language because my muscles are sure screaming for some muscle growth and repair…… let’s go feed “The Machine”!
