i_like_sun Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 half gallon of V-8 I think you are high on more than just rock buddy....... I would hurl like hell after consuming a half gallon of that crap! I'm super into my blender's home made shakes. mmmmm 20g vanilla or chocolate whey protein 1 LARGE banana 2-3 tablespoons of peanut of almond butter 2-3 tablespoons of blackberry honey or dark maple syrup Dash of salt (salt is important for glycogen synthesis) 1) Its freaking insanely delicious! 2) Great hit of amino acids, sugars to pull the aminos into cells (insulin), and fatty acids to boost those anabolic hormone levels! Plus you get a large dose of Potassium, vitamin E, and minerals from the honey or syrup (maple syrup has more minerals than honey). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

montypiton Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 (edited) I second the V-8. don't knock it till you've tried it. Several years ago I pushed myself to the point of collapse on a four-day high-intensity trip in the El-Dorado area. After my partners helped me hobble that last half-mile back to the car, the e.r. doc in Sedro Wooley piped in two liters i.v. for the drive home, then my doc here in der worth piped in three more liters the next morning. (this was truly hilarious: "can you pee yet?"-"no"-"hey-bring us another liter, willya?") After taking blood, he told me I needed to supplement potassium for a week and then look at blood again. I consumed one-half gallon of v8 per day for that week, in addition to my normal food intake. Say what you will about the taste, the stuff works, and its WAY cheaper than formal supplements... if/when I go hard enough to produce significant DOMS, (a rare occasion) I do supplement with glutamine to resolve that. My wife, a fairly intense cyclist, likes the glutamine after any ride longer than a half-century... and, yeah, the banannas and yogurt and whey protein and all are great, but you're missing a bet if you're not adding eggs and olive oil to those shakes. --but that's my normal breakfast diet -- the glutamine and v8 are specific to the really serious recovery episodes Edited June 18, 2007 by montypiton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ken4ord Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 MEAT like a steak or burger, mmm yeah. I will usually have an Emergen-C or juice. Lots of salt on whatever starch I am eating with my steak or burger. I always mean to eat bananas for the Potassium, but hardly ever do.

Lots of salt on whatever starch I am eating with my steak or burger. I always mean to eat bananas for the Potassium, but hardly ever do. Actually, citrus is almost as good a source of potassium as bananas, and its easily packed into the mountains (bananas squish). Also, I've been reading that magnesium is more important for exercise performance than potassium is. And citrus is superior to bananas for that. Also, zinc is an ULTRA important component to muscle recovery. Exercise depletes it quite a bit, so it is crucial to eat a diet where we get enough of it. This is where MEAT comes into the picture (especially steak and shellfish). So the whole "lets go smash down a post climb steak" is actually one of the best things we can do! OK I'm done.....
