I felt the same for a while, but then on my last workout, after weights I went to do my 12 minutes of HIIT on the bike. I literally could barely pedal! My legs just weren't working. Even at the "jogging" level of 9, it felt like it was already set to 16. That sucked.

To me, this hows quite clearly how important a high carb post workout shake is. Of course I "knew" this from reading advice from People With A Clue, but I wanted to see how big a difference there would be.

So if you are working out and NOT taking a high carb shake afterwards, you could be severely limiting your performance.

If you're wondering how it works, basically it uses insulin, which is a very powerful and very useful hormone when utilized at the right time (it can also be very bad for you if you have a lot of it in you at the wrong times) to shuttle glycogen into the muscles rapidly. This basically shortens your recovery time by a significant margin. If you are only workout out 2 or 3 times a week I'm sure it doesn't matter. But if you are doing weights + HIIT + steady state on off days, that means 6 days a week of training and you will kill yourself without something like this.

Look for Universal Torrent or Biotest Surge, or perhaps something similar. Or even a handful of raisins + whey shake + BCAA's.

yeah bio test is good stuff
