The proteins

The carbohydrates

The carbohydrates are just as important as proteins in the post-workout nutrition! Do not absolutely neglect them, they are precious allies to build muscle!

The amount of carbohydrate to ingest depends on the lens, taken muscle mass or dry mass, but this process is crucial and necessary, not only to recover from worjout, but also to enable you to be ready for the following.

To gain dry mass, taking 20g of simple carbohydrates are sufficient. To gain muscle mass, you can ingest 80 grams.

The creatine

Just after the workout, you have the perfect moment to ingest the famous creatine! It will be transported to the muscles together with proteins and the fast carbohydrates, including through the peak of insulin which promotes transport. Then, the creatine will help the recovery processes and muscle growth, but will be also stored and present in your body for the next workout. If you take creatine in small doses throughout the day, 3g post workout are enough, or take 5g.
