Just want some feed back on whether its good to add flaxseed oil to a shake pre workout, ive been doing it for the last 3 days and felt very energetic, i have half scoop whey pro and half a scoop soy pro, and 2 teaspoons of flaxseed oil... Is this bad?
flax should slow down the whey, which is good. I personally eat a solid meal 1.5 hours prior to wk out.
IMO, save the flax for non workout times. Better to have carbs around your workout, they are more easily metabolized, and are a much more efficient energy source.
The problem i have with carbs 1.5 hours before workout is that it makes me so sleepy and tired and i go to the gym dead. When i have a all protien meal with some vege and some fat i feel alot better, more energy and more motivated. I usually train at 4pm, my first 3 meals have carbs but my 4th the 1 before my workout i dont have carbs, so 6am carbs, 9am carbs, midday carbs then at 2.30 fats.. then 4pm train..Quote:

Hey man - if that's what works for you, go for it bro! I don't eat carbs 1.5 hours out though. I eat them about 15 min from my workout. I walk to the gym and I eat an apple, banana, or an orange on the way. My meal before the apple is 50g protein and 1 tlbs of flax oil. But that's at about 3:00 - I don't get to the gym till about 5:30 or 6.Quote:
