After your workout the DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness) sets in. There is no way your going to be able to reproduce today's effort tomorrow, unless you have the right plan for recovery. The faster you repair and rebuild muscle tissue the sooner your body will be able to give another 110%.
There is a lot more to achieving performance and physique excellence than the proper training regimen. Even by consistently executing the most demand workout schedule you have only completed half of the success formula. The other half begins when you walk out of the gym. It is at that point that your body's need for quality nutrition is most critical. Typically an athlete has approximately a 40 minute window immediately after training to fulfill the nutritional requirements necessary for muscle growth and faster recovery.
For as long as athletes have been training with weights, scientists and athletes alike have been searching for ways to speed up and improve recovery after intense training. Optimum Nutrition has developed AFTER MAX, a revolutionary post workout formula that incorporates the most advanced nutrient technology on recovery and repair to date. Recent research studies suggest that by combing the proper ratio of quality protein, carbohydrates, and key support nutrients you can improve recovery times by as much as 40%. AFTER MAX is designed to put your body on the recovery and rebuilding fast track. The correct balance of quality protein, high glycemic index carbohydrates, and support nutrients deliver maximum post workout nutrition.
What Does A Body Demand After A Workout? The following five points explain why the answer is Optimum Nutrition's new AFTER MAX:
Each Serving Contains: (20 Servings Per Container)
40 grams of quality protein. Why? Because nitrogen levels are at there lowest. This means that in the absence of protein your body will tear down the muscle you worked so hard to earn in order to balance nitrogen levels and produce glycogen for muscle energy.
40 grams carbohydrates in the the correct proportion of high and low glycemic index carbs.. Why? Because this helps to stimulate glycogen production which spares the protein to be used for muscle building and repair. Carbohydrates combined with protein are more effective at replenishing glycogen and nitrogen levels than protein alone.
5 grams of Creatine Monohydrate and 1 gram Taurine. Why? Because Creatine Monohydrate can help replenish ATP levels in the muscle that are significantly depleted after workouts. Taurine helps speed the transport of Creatine to the muscle.
The proper ratio of electrolytes. Why? Because electrolytes help reduce lactic acid levels that lead to fatigue and muscle soreness. AFTER MAX supplies key mineral electrolights Potassium and Magnesium.
