Training Challenge - podcast part 1, nutrition discussion

yes liam if you eat pasta on its own u wont be bloated as your only eating carbs,if you add steak with it then your mixing protein and the carbs,thats what causes wind and bloatedness.
unfortunatley i dont practice what i recommend,i find it very hard to eat just carbs in one meal and then just protein in another but aprantley thats what some nutrionists have recommended me
liam,dont knock a formula until you have tried it and tested it.

clark quoted
"ps; Steve, you can't recommend an eating program and then tell everyone that you couldn't preform at training. The problem with your performance was your superior diet."

clark,i just recommended a few tips in how liam could mix his proteins and carbs,i didnt give him a diet plan.
and i surely dont have a superior diet plan.
but i find how you mix your foods determins how the energy is processed and how it feeds the body.
yes,of course if we all go out and eat 15 potatoes and raw fish and 10 kgs of pasta,yeah of course we are going to gain weight.
i've been there,finding myself stuffing my face with anything that has the words protein on it or carbs,just to get huge..
yeah been there 10 years ago and i dont think its the way forward,especially as we get older.
clever thinking in diet plan...,if we can think so cleverly in game tactics,why not outside the pool.


about my problem in training
in general im happy enough with my energy that i have at the moment(although i dont have a job at the moment so that may change soon enough),theres only one person that can tell you that you dont have enough carbs and thats your body,but you have to be aware of it and listen to it.eg dizzy spells,mouth ulcers,regular fatigueness etc..

although many factors may have caused those muscles not to work after the weight training workout.
the scientific factors im not sure,maybe its bad to push the muscle hard after weight training as they are damaged already,i'm really not sure,so lets see if it comes up in the podcast
other factors
well it had been my 6th day training in a row,first time back to the gym,ive been out of training for a while
and also im 35.
although the fuel i give my body is sufficient,other factors may have hampered that paticular training exercise.

i'm looking forward to hearing the podcast.
previously i did request a whole thread on dietry which i think is really important.

was your session right after the gym session steve? maybe a handful of jellybeans in between would have been good... do you think you had drunk enough water?

yeah i did the water training directly after the weight taining, i'd like to find more about how to mix the training,for example
in a weeks training,how to mix weights,apnea,running,cycling swimming even yoga,is it good to do yoga then train or train and then do yoga or just do yoga on your day off.

in that session drank gatorade 1 litre and i had a lot of water before hand,maybe i'll try the jelly beans,yeah i forgot about that.
but it wasnt a lullness in energy,its hard to explain,it was the muscles,it felt like the oxygen wasn't getting to them.
like my last post i think it was due to the first time back in the gym and the 100kg's i bench pressed for 10 reps.
NOT..
but yeah thanks for the jelly bean tip..coool i love jelly beans.

Hi Steve,

I've recently introduced yoga into my training regime, and it is fantastic. Flexibility wasn't a problem before, but I'm amazed how much it has improved since I've taken it on. It's also a fantastic activity to develop strength. I suppose people who are not familiar with yoga may think of it as being relaxing and strength building, but its not until you've given it a try when you discover how dynamic various sets can be.

Also, one thing I have found is that you will feel much better during your yoga session if you don't eat anything at least 2 hours before.

As for going back-to-back with another training session, I probably wouldn't recommend a weights session, because you will have just had a massive work-out anyway.

Cheers,
Alex

Do you belong to the O blood group atapene?

but it wasnt a lullness in energy,its hard to explain,it was the muscles,it felt like the oxygen wasn't getting to them.

make sure you check the ingredients in gatorade - if it's just sugar, it's not worth drinking. read and interesting article about the composition of milk. some crazy person recommended it as a sports drink. tried it at a tournament a few weeks ago. no cramps. muscles felt ok.

if you're feeling dead, you're probably over training. do you take a record of your pulse first thing inthe morning when you wake up, and last thing at night before you go to bed? if you keep a record from when you start training, you'll be able to tell that you're over training when it goes up too much in the mornings.

cheers otto good tip..

it was actually aquarias but its probably the same,i usually drink isostar or water.

otto - a calcium defficiency can cause cramps

a QLD player who's a vet was telling us about it at one of the nationals - i was playing for 2 teams so lots of games, and i started to cramp up a bit; so he gave me some calcium tablets and i didn't have a single cramp for the rest of the comp

i didn't change anything else in my diet - but there was no real calcium source in my diet to begin with ;\

yeah, i know. hence trying milk. was it mark? how is the old man? hear you've got a qld ladies team for nationals in jan?
