PROTEIN – Not just for guys with big muscles

 Last month we touched on protein with the use of energy source 4:1 for use in long distance events in particular, this month I want to highlight the important use of protein now that most of you are going from your recovery or to your strength building phases of your training.

Firstly you will recover so much better with products like high5 protein recovery drink powder because as mentioned by Tim from high5 uk comments below, your muscles need to repair so that you can rebuild them stronger. The other factor is many of you this time of year put on weight, you eat bad foods through being hungry from eating so much after getting used to eating those quantities during your hard summer training. My recommendation to you is try to concentrate on more protein like the mentioned product because it fills you up and stops you eating rubbish which ends up taking months to take off and makes life hard !!

I personally take protein powder with my breakfast and have at least 3 more drinks or bars throughout the day instead of fat things like bread or bad food like nibbles that do the damage not to mention the Easter eggs !! All in all it's helping your body growing your muscle that you need and reducing the chances of you putting on weight at this time of year. I totally recommend this and you can't go wrong with the chocolate flavour or new banana vanilla which both are yum! Be sure to check out our special offer below to try this product at a reduced cost.

Below here's a reminder what Tim wrote

Ever wondered why some guys get good fast and others work their buts off and don't. Here is a clue…

"You don't make any fitness gains during exercise, all gains are made in the recovery period”

Now without the good roughing up you give your body during exercise no adaptation would occur, but all the gains in fitness you get are actually made in recovery.

OK so recovery is important, but where does protein come into all of this, and hay, I eat fish and chicken right?

Yep and that's good, a well balanced diet is what you need but a little extra can pay off big time, here's how.

  1. During exercise muscle's tissue is damaged and starts to break down, this also continues for several hours after exercise stops.
  2. About 1 hour after exercise stops new muscle synthesis starts- its suppressed during exercise

Now lean muscle is what is going to make you faster and better at your sport. Lean muscle is good and you want it, yeah, but how do you get it?

Easy, you reduce muscle breakdown and you boost muscle synthesis. But having the correct amino acids in the blood stream at the right time is not easy to achieve and the timing is vital, this is why you can't just pop a chicken sandwich.

Also the correct amino acid and carbohydrate mix enhances glycogen replacement and recovery even further. It's a cleaver combination of amino acid profile, absorption speed, intake timing, amount and composition.

I know your time is precious, with work and training, so we have made it simple for you. There are two products from High5 that have been specifically designed to optimise all of these and so maximise recovery.

4:1 For use before and during exercise.

Protein Recovery For use immediately after exercise

If you want to see the difference enhancing recover can make trust us and give them a try, it's a real eye opener. And if you don't notice the difference I will give you your money back.
