Carb Up After Workout Shake

Today I show you how to make a great after workout shake for higher carb days. It tastes great and has some awesome ingredients.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup of oats
8 oz. non-fat milk
1 cup frozen blueberries
1 medium banana
1 scoop whey protein (26 g.)

Directions:

First you add 1/2 cup of oats to the blender.  Next, add 8 oz. of non-fat milk to the blender.  Next, add 1 cup of frozen blueberries.  Next, add one medium sized banana. Finally, add one scoop of whey protein.  Blend it all together and drink!

This smoothie is powerful. I use it on my Saturday carb up days after my training session. It helps guide my body in the right direction after a long week on low carb meals. This guy is a whopping 761 calories. It contains 39 g. of protein, 107 g. of carbs and just 9 g. of fat. This means this smoothie is 70% carbs, 20% protein and 10% fat. This is exactly what I am aiming for.

If the calories are too high simply cut back on the amount of ingredients you use.

The Pump and Blast Arm Training Method for Bigger Arms

He started to ask questions about the current workout plan. At first he changed it alone. He had me train once time a week but switched me to heavy training instead of medium weight training. It just didn't work. My arms were not responding. … [Read More...]
