HELPING YOU GET STRONGER SINCE 2004

What To Eat Before, During & After Training For Max Muscle Growth (Jeff Nippard)

Filed In : Diet and Nutrition | Tips | video

Was chatting to someone the other day about workout nutrition, and this is what I ended up pointing them to. It’s an excellent breakdown of what to eat, and when. NB : That macrofactor app is great. Curious – what do you currently use to keep track of your diet? Anything you’d recommend?

NB : We first looked at this one in the weekly Strength & Fitness Newsletter (part of the Strength Kit). If you'd like to have it sent to you automatically (free!) each week, just add your email here.

We also discuss a number of training-related books. If you're looking for the full list of the ones I'm checking out personally, swing by Goodreads. You can also suggest new ones there (or via this site's contact page) - I'm always on the lookout for more literary goodness.

Incidentally, if this has got you thinking about your own diet, you might like to swing by Examine.com. Fantastic site.

Over to you. Drop us a line on Twitter ( @scottbird ), or add a comment below.

Cheers.

 

NB : if you love talking about strength-training as much as I do, you might also like to check out the weekly newsletter (there's also a daily version available). A regular dose of fitness-focussed discussions, absolutely free.

As much as I love training with free weights (and the occasional machine, for specific things) I'm partial to the occasional dose of bodyweight goodness. Particularly when travelling.
