I know this probably goes in the Diet Forum but I am not getting enough help there. More people read this forum. I need to know how to handle this

I am 5-9, 220
finishing up a cycle of sust 500mgs, deca 400mgs, hgh 4 ius/day, and Winstrol (winny) 50 mgs ED.

I had a foot injury so cardio has not been an option on this cycle. As you can imagine I have a little extra bloat going on. Now that the foot is better I started cardio 5 days a week right after the weights. I get to the gym at 6 and finish about 8:00 including the cardio.

NOW they have this smoothie bar with all these drinks and content info. Some high in carbs and some high in proteina and some both. I think they have WAYYYY more sugar than they tell you. I was told that after weight training you should have a high GI carb to create that insulin spike and deliver the protein to your muscles faster. I'm not sure that works and on top of that the drink this morning was so sweet it fuckin burned my throat.

I drank it but as I was drinking it I had that "feeling" that this was not good for me. You know what I mean. It's when you taste something and you can tell right away that it's not clean but you were told that it was. Also today I worked out on an empty stomach and my lifting strength was not the same. I've heard do cardio on an empty stomach.

Please post advice on the post workout meal. I need help in this area.

Thanks
 
If you think they are lying to you about what's in it, buy something else, take your own, there are plenty of options out there. Why would you want to drink anything that burns your throat, anyway.
 
I never trust gym made shakes unless I really know the owner of the gym and/or the person making it. For PWO meals, everyone has their own theories. The most important thing is to get a substantial amount of protein in with some simple sugars. Ratios of 1:1 or 2:1 carbs to protein are the most popular. Usually you'll want to follow this shake with a solid food meal with protein and carbs within a couple of hours at the very latest after your shake.

Oh, and I'll leave this in the Anabolics forum for a while, but will eventually move it to the diet forum. ;)
