Muscles Do Not Grow Without Nutrition

You can not use your fat deposits as an energy source during hard work outs so it is very important that you have enough glycogen reserves in your muscles in order to complete the session. It is not enough to start training as you have to successfully finish it as well. Consume around 300-400 calories coming from carbohydrates around 2 hours before work outs. People that do not train hard do not need this energy infusion but gym work outs are very tough and you will end up using a lot of calories (coming from carbohydrates). If you ever had a sense of weakness during training, as if you had suddenly remained without energy, it is because you consumed your entire reserve of carbohydrates. Your car runs on fuel and if you run out of fuel it will not work anymore. It is the exact same thing with your body. A meal made up of rice, fish, potatoes or a carbo drink/shake, 2 hours before working out, will do wonders. For those that train in the morning there is only one solution: special drinks to aid in working out.
