Structuring Nutrient Timing for Hypertrophy | JTSstrength.com

[@Jovahkiiin]

I'm a simple man, I see one of my favourite croc wielding sports science content producers, I like.

[@BrinAmberlee]

I’ve been training on and off for about 6 years now. Never really serious about it, and every program or trainer I ever bought or hired never once explained any of this to me. I have learned more from Dr Mike in two weeks than I have from anyone else in 6 years!!! I FINALLY feel like I know what I’m doing, I have a plan I can execute on and I know how to structure my diet, all while feeling excited like I never wanna quit and finally like it can be a sustainable lifestyle. So grateful for you Dr Mike!!!!

Dr Mike is the man 👍 keep up the hard work 👌 💪

I would love to know how rest days would be handled. I think I know from being a long time follower of Mike and all things RP, but I always like the validation in video form. Thanks again, JTS, for the awesome content!

[@federicocarnebale]

Eat like always

[@ayaza8137]

rest is for the weak! 😛

[@DarkoFitCoach]

@@federicocarnebale why would u eat the same on training days and on rest days? Makes zero sense. Do you load up your car with as much petrol when its doing nothing and when its going cross country? Rest days: keep carbs low or full keto and calories have to go down to account for less expenditure

[@osamaa.h.altameemi5592]

these are some serious nuggets. Thx Doc. when is the book coming? my schedule allows for only two meals a day, so compared to the optimal case (4 to 6 meals), how bad is that?

[@anthonymarconi761]

Very informative and I really liked the outlines and bulletpoints of the topics addressed, super useful!

[@garrettturbett593]

Great knowledge sharing 👍 With regards intra-workout carbs: I found these very useful when competing as an elite endurance athlete and I was doing multiple sessions per day and north of 20hrs training per week. But nowadays (having stepped away from competing two yrs ago) I see no value. I’m still training 60-90min/day but with a good diet there’s no need for intra-workout carbs, IMO.

[@Crotone79]

Garrett Turbett there is ZERO need for intra-workout nutrition unless you’re a bodybuilder injecting insulin!! Period!!

[@readyfuels17]

Crotone79 or if you’re an endurance athlete like him..

[@jesseroest2786]

For someone who trains first thing in the morning, any different considerations for nutrient timing the night before?

[@johntrains1317]

Drink gasoline tje night before. It's basically delayed preworkout

[@thetrillpreneur]

I’m currently training first thing in the morning, I have a hearty breakfast before I get ready/take a shower that way the food can go down. Usually 4egg whites 2 full egg omelette with steak/chicken and some type of veggies. Then a glass of OJ

[@seahorserider33]

Other than about 30g of protein with roughly 20g carbs, no. But eating Dates and Bananas (fast and medium fast digestive carbs) before training helped me a lot with training first thing in the morning

[@gusti2wire]

Excellent job explaining . thanks

[@jadenfort7377]

Really high quality content, helped me out a lot, have been searching for these kind of videos for a while definitely make more of these

Great stuff right here folks. Definitely similar to what I implement in my routine. Thanks for the upload.

[@niallo9712]

If protein is best administered evenly throughout the day, should you lean more towards slow absorption protein to keep amino acid levels even?

[@radiogeek89]

I am seriously digging all these videos Dr.Mike!!!!! I have learned a ridiculous amount for these videos

As a 280lbs lifter, 280 grams of protein would be physically and financially impossible for me with regular food. Thank god for protein powders.

[@mikeoxmaul1788]

Excellent info for advanced lifters 😃

[@pywifishingandoutdoors]

How would you space out carbs on your rest days or active/light rest days? Is it just disturbed evenly?

[@navysealninja85]

Does it make a difference if you get your carbs from fruits? starches? or grain?

[@ReEeZ08]

Is there a recommendation on minimum carbs amount needed to be healthy

[@gohighhustle]

I like this guy! Great explanation.

[@beat461]

It's notable how this is exactly the opposite to what Thomas Delauer typically recommends. Maybe it all doesn't even matter that much and I should stop obsessing over it if I just make sure I the right macronutrients in per day. Although I did experience a better workout after eating amaranth with cut up dates, figs, and some fruit one hour before a workout

[@realinohio]

1g Protein per bodyweight Lean or in General? What if you have a lot of fat?

[@flash_gordy8415]

This was awesome ty

[@Proteinhead92]

What if you train later on at night and your last meal is your post workout carbs?

[@johntrains1317]

I don't need any of this info but I'm here for the hairy muscle daddy comments lol

[@mjolnir9421]

what about carbs on non-training days tho

[@JGD185]

I want Mike's head gains. I want my head so wide I have to turn sideways when walking through doors

[@michaellewis6170]

Any difference in carbohydrate type such as fructose base or glucose base. (Ie: save rice/potatoes for around workouts and fruit for other times)

[@DarkoFitCoach]

fructose doesnt fill up muscle glycogen as much as glucose does so for muscle performance purposes always go for glucose peri workout

[@josh_wah]

How would this work in an intermittent fasting schedule?

[@charlesc8477]

Depends on how long you fast and when you lift.

[@markdavids8055]

Less meals have to fit it into them

[@jackbrady9738]

Fuck yeah Mike

@raw strength and muscle regarding fats and energy to fuel workouts lol

[@gm08351]

I thought we were done with bro science

[@ElloAsty]

It's real but it's also just the extra 1% that will put one elite athlete above the other. Dudes are out there obsessing over this meal timing stuff while still chasing 300 lb squats and running Starting Strength/Stronglifts.

[@masonnowak5660]

He is literally a PhD and former professor. This is the opposite of broscience.

[@Deurhzd]

Carbs before training is probably just placebo effect. You can just as well use the carbs you ate the night before.

[@Deurhzd]

@Frank Burjan I do 4000 calories and only 100 grams of carbs a day, feel that's more than enough to fill up glycogen stores. Getting calories from fats is healthier. What do you mean by longevity?

[@Deurhzd]

@@thibaultcuvelier870 so many things have been "studied". If you believe nutrition and exercise science, don't know what to say, just look how research itself is supposed to work

[@thibaultcuvelier870]

@@Deurhzd there is no belief is sports science just facts

[@Deurhzd]

@@thibaultcuvelier870 Peer-review is often reduced to the process of disagreeing with things you don’t like and affirming the things that comport with your own worldview, whether they make any sense or not, from a position of anonymity and unaccountability. Of all the fields of study represented in peer-reviewed research, exercise science and nutrition are perhaps the worst in terms of academic rigor - ask a chemist or an engineer to read some of it and see what they say startingstrength.com/article/the_problem_with_exercise_science

[@johnryanmartinejr.7232]

Dupon Yes, you are correct about the terrible state of education and exercise science. Although the article you quote is half a decade old, and much progress has been made. In general, however, there is a long way to go. Regardless, the idea of a “placebo affect” of carbs during or immediately before a workout is also not perfectly true. Many factors into what your body may need during training - factors such as age, ability, type of training, intensity of training, and length of sessions. So I’m not really ready to go fully down the “placebo” road just yet. Also, RP and Dr. Isreatel are fairly legit people - educated and experienced in ways most people weren’t a decade ago. I would hesitate to lump them into the negative side of exercise science. They seem to be leading the charge in moving things forward in a smarter way.

[@rich24561]

Absolute nonsense i eat 15 bananas a day plus 2 eggs. Plus other fruit and vege. No other traditional protein foods. I fast 36 hours once a week. Over the last 6 months i have gained 10kg of relatively lean bodyweight. I am 57 years old. No hrt. 100kg bodyweight. Height 6'5".I have some of my best training sessions 18 hours into the fast. I can power clean 110kg. Full squat 200kg. And deadlift 250kg. How does that fit the accepted paradigm?

[@rich24561]

@Frank Burjan no fat unless it is in whole food. Avocado, nuts etc. No need to have additional olive oil etc. The Mediterranean diet is pure propaganda for people to justify eating bad food. I would have no more than 100g of protein and I am 220+ pounds. Those guidelines are trash. I have tried high protein and you get fat.

[@johnryanmartinejr.7232]

I wouldn’t necessarily say “nonsense.” Obviously, he’s not speaking to you. But there are quite a few good reasons to balance the number of meals throughout the day. Plus, there’s lots of evidence that it can help not only things like energy and performance levels, but blood sugar and brain function, as well. Can you cite the studies that back up your eating habits are better?

[@rich24561]

@@johnryanmartinejr.7232 lol I don't need studies. I am studying it myself. And with my science background I know that most will not seriously consider my claims based on a study of one. I am piggybacking on a huge movement and monitoring the variations that I believe will work. They appear to be. I have tried up to 300g of protein per day. Now i have much less than the recommended. I am getting far better results this way. I eat 4 to five meals every 3 hours. But the protein comes from 2 eggs per day and a whole lot of fruits, vegetables and nuts.
