You be elite you must feed the motor the poper diet. Nothing out of a box, can or bag. No potatos, rice, white flour, or sugar. To increase strength and power you must maintain a level insulin out put. If you do this your liver will store sugar for future workout and not burn the sugar in your system. In other words if we eat like a caveman you will be as strong as one.
Eat this... 1. EAT FAT but the correct fats... olive oil, almonds ,nuts and seeds. and yes bacon!!! 2. Lean protien 3 times a day the size and width of your hand. 3. The proper carbs. nothing white.... Colorful, green, red, purple ( but not corn or carrots to much sugar) Yams sweat potatos ETC.
Split your dinner plate into 3 sections and fill with what is mentioned above.
After a workout no later then 5 minutes after stopping and before cooling down you must feed the machine... drink at least 40 grams of protein powder, do not mix with water or milk... this is the only time you want to have a sugar spike so mix with power aid or orange juice... yum!! This will help push the protein into the muscle for healing and to reduce inflamation. If you wait to long and you cool down don't take it. you are only elite when you are warm and sweaty otherwise you are just like everyone else and the protien will have been a waste.
Last step is take alot of fish oil!!! Fish pil is a anti inflamatory and will help on the sore days... take triple stregnth 3 in the morning and 3 at nite before bed.
Oh yea drink water but not alot... Learn to function with little water and don't drink until you are done with your workout... that is your prize when you are done with a workout. Doing this will train yuor body to function at a high level even when dehydrated.
