2010One of the most common questions I get is in regards to what to eat as a post-workout meal.
The first 45 – 60 minutes following a strength training workout is a window of opportunity for maximizing potential muscle gains. It is during this time after a workout that gylcogen stores are depleted, and the enzymes that convert glucose into glycogen are in a state such that sugar (glucose) can be consumed and is rushed directly to the muscles to replace lost glycogen stores.

I’m just going to warn you straight out. This post is crazy. And if you are one of those people who gets crazy reading about my crazy then you probably want to skip all the crazy and go straight to your therapist (do not pass Go, do not collect 200 xanax). Which is where I would be venting this nonsense if she hadn’t abandoned me for the prison system (sure, like people in prison need excellent therapists… oh, um, right.)

File this under It’s Not Fair (or, Another Reason It’s OK to Steal His Comfy T-Shirts): Men can eat simple carbs like white bread, pasta and rice galore and it doesn’t up their heart disease risk. Women, on the other hand, just smell the stuff and their ticker goes off like a firecracker. To pour salt on our razor-nicked legs, men aren’t even afraid of getting fat – a woman’s worst nightmare, second only to our Pill packs getting replaced with Pez.

2010Weight lifting can be intimidating. While pretty much everyone can do a bicep curl or squat, things start to get tetchy when you depart from the standard five safe exercises – especially if you are doing something with a high potential for embarrassment. Fortunately, those are my very favorite moves to try. It’s a win-win all around: onlookers get some good entertainment and I get to try something new.
