Brian Fantana Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 The best recovery shake/meal will be rendered useless if you don't get enough sleep.
'Dale Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 WW, The pros, generally: Take afternoon naps.Sleep more than 10 hrs at night.Have daily massages.Have regular physiotherapy with every possible niggle.Have eating plans to the littlest of details. Depending on sponsorship, they use GU, Hammer, and all other products that are mostly available to us.

I'm soooo struggling with fatigue and muscle pain...would be nice to be able to live a normal life again??Illegal stuff and then whatever else the super expensive dietician tells them to eat.My advice, get on to Polar trainer and change your life.
Garfield2010 Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 There is this guy called Dr Ferrari. He lives in italy and specializes in what you are asking.
build2race Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 Take a whey protein shake no later than 40min after your ride/race. This should help alot with your recovery. Do not mistake this for a meal as you still need to consume solids. Obviously you still need alot of rest and sleep.If you want to shed some weight then take only the whey but if you want to maintain or increase your weight take some maltodextrim with the whey. I am no personal trainer or nutritionist but have found these methods to work very well for me. Try and get pure/clean (no added sugar etc) whey and maltodextrim seperately and mix them together.

Danger Dassie Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 Recovery recovery recovery, so getting enough sleep is vital.Supplements wise, there's plenty out there, Just have to find what works for you. Which means trial and error.Personally I'm sold on the Epic Pro, expensive initially but I find I don't use the full serving suggestion, so it lasts me a fair while.
Tumbleweed Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 yeast ? and this stuff , C2H5OH? Recovery drink of champions. And should you be bust by authorities, employ the "JD defence".
