Subtitles section

So, clearly you work out, but do you take aspirin?

Or more importantly, do you take aspirin after working out?

Because if you do, that could be a big problem.

Or maybe not, depending on how old you are.

You see, recent research has shown that taking aspirin after a workout could actually blunt the effect of what you're trying to accomplish with the workout itself.

If you're trying to blunt inflammation, you're interrupting the normal repair and recovery process that actually builds muscle.

However, there is research that shows that in older adults over the age of fifty, that taking up to twelve hundred milligrams of ibuprofen or aspirin after a workout can potentially even be anabolic.

In both cases, a dose of just four hundred milligrams doesn't really have any effect at all.

So, it's not just a dose dependent, but age dependent thing that you're going to need to figure out what's best for you.

Next on the list of things you want to avoid after training is cold water immersion therapy or ice baths.

Now, don't get me wrong, the mood boosting and dopamine increasing effects of this practice are something that's been documented very, very much by some of the smartest people in the world.

That being said, the timing of when you do this will matter if hypertrophy is the goal of your workouts.

muscle.

Because if we do this within four to six hours of training, we will get that same blunting effect of the inflammatory response that's productive for creating those muscle gains in the first place.

What would be interesting to know in future studies is whether or not the same age dependent factor factors in here as well.

Meaning if you're older, maybe this doesn't have as much of an effect and you should be doing more of this cold water immersion.

The fact is that once again, it's the modality that maybe doesn't warrant your concern, but the application and timing of it in your specific circumstance might.

Now, the avoidance of this next practice is one that will not only let your gains breathe a sigh of relief, but also probably the people you share the road with on your way back from the gym.

Because there's no need to rush anymore, necessarily.

That anabolic window that you're rushing home to get your protein shake in doesn't really exist, or at least not as important as we once thought it was.

Now, recent studies have actually shown that whether you have your protein an hour before you train or within an hour after you train, you're going to get the same benefits of muscle protein synthesis.

On the other hand, if you like to train first thing in the morning in a fasted state, the urgency that you might have following your workout to ingest protein will be higher.

The vast majority of us do not do that, however, so take your time, say your proper goodbyes when you're leaving the gym.

There's no rush.

Which leads us to our next mistake that you want to avoid, and that is misinterpreting the misinformation on the anabolic window to the point where you misinterpret the significance of protein in general.

Because protein is and always will be the most important macronutrient you put in your body if building muscle is your goal.

While the specific timing of its ingestion surrounding that small little area of your day that you spend training is less important, the overall ingestion of protein throughout the day and meeting your daily total requirements is critical if you want to see your maximum muscle gains.

Now, what is that number?

Roughly between point eight and one point two grams per pound of body weight, which is more challenging to achieve if you're actually not consciously trying to get to those numbers.

A rough guideline of thirty grams of protein per meal as a minimum will fit most of us into that stated range rather easily.

And also, it helps to cross that twenty nine gram threshold where leucine signals the mTOR pathway to create muscle protein synthesis.

Which is why, by the way, our pro thirty G protein includes a full thirty grams of protein per serving, much more than our competition, because we understand this process.

The bottom line is that while the timing of your protein may be less critical regarding that anabolic window, the anabolic window being open more readily throughout the entire day is going to be dependent upon your intake of an adequate amount of protein every day.

Now, if the goal of your workout is to build as much muscle as possible, the next big mistake that you need to avoid after your workout is doing cardio.

Now, don't get me wrong, it'd be better to do your cardio after the workout than before in this case, because you're simply dipping into the reserves of energy that you should be devoting to your main goal of strength training and lifting weights.

However, any type of cardio done immediately after your workout is going to similarly dip into those reserves and those recovery reserves that might prevent you from putting on the muscle you're trying to.

That being said, the type of cardio that you do also is going to have an impact.

For example, if you just finished a heavy leg workout and now figure that a five mile run might be good for building your endurance, you're competing with yourself.

The energy systems are clashing and you're not going to get the best end result in either direction.

The same would be true if you just finished a killer upper body push workout and think that doing the heavy bag for thirty minutes is a good idea.

It's not.

That said, avoiding conditioning altogether is a giant mistake.

You need to do it, especially if you want to be a complete athlete.

And especially now, as we know about longevity, the inclusion of cardiovascular fitness into your regime is one of the most important things that you can make sure you do if you want to live a longer, higher quality life.

So when do you do it?

On your off days.

In other words, on your non strength training days.

And we don't have to look much further for evidence of this than our own Jesse.

Again, a typical hard gainer who used to like to run miles and miles and miles, but also kind of had this side goal of wanting to lift a lot of heavy weight.

Well, they clash.

the only time he was able to increase those gains seriously in the gym were when he put that running on a different day.

He sort of shifted that goal to a sub goal and focused instead on primarily building muscle.

And if and when you do the same, you can continue to experience the benefits in both areas, just not when you're trying to combine them both at the same time.

Now, unless you're a professional boxer or UFC fighter trying to make weight for a fight, then I highly recommend that you avoid making this next mistake, and that is weighing yourself after your workout.

There's no point to it.

Now, most often when this happens, it's those that are looking to lose weight.

But again, the weight that you will lose in any given workout will never be the body fat that you're attempting to lose from those workouts.

will simply be water weight.

And the water weight will be replaced as soon as you rehydrate your body after your workout.

And you might find yourself becoming discouraged.

Too little, you don't really want to go back and do the workout again.

If there's too much, you overestimate how successful the workout was and you're misled.

You don't use weight loss on a scale as an acute measurement of the success or failure of any given workout.

Now, if you want to use the scale as a measurement of progress over time to make sure you're heading in the right direction, then by all means, go for it.

But still understand this, the scale weight is never going to be the true measurement of success.

Instead, measure your body fat percentage and track that over time, because that will always have a much more accurate reflection of where you're heading and whether you're on track.

So, while skipping the scale is one thing you're going to want to do after your workout, avoiding the opportunity to take that one last glance in the mirror before you leave could be a great opportunity lost.

And that's something that not everyone is comfortable doing, but I highly suggest you start.

And the reason for it is that post workout pump has a lot of benefits beyond just the fact that you feel better.

But mostly because you feel better, you will become more inspired about what you're trying to achieve.

you're trying to build muscle, the pump is one of the few situations where you ever get to experience what the after results are going to look like when we're currently in the before.

You can't see what future weight loss looks like unless at one point in your life, maybe you were skinnier and you can look back at old pictures.

Now, I'm not saying you have to go full out, balls out, naked old guy standing in the mirror for ten minutes, admiring yourself to get the benefits of this.

No, it could be much more modest, but you should do it.

And that motivation to stay on track and to keep aspiring towards that goal is likely to keep you on track to come back the next time and the next time and the next time.

And therefore, the value is immeasurable.

Next up on the list of things to avoid after a workout is one that you might benefit from avoiding altogether, but it's so damn difficult for so many people.

And that's drinking alcohol.

but there's so many reasons why this isn't the ideal thing to be engaging in after you train.

And we don't have to look much further than even available research, where head to head, those that drank after their workouts versus those that didn't experienced a twenty four percent decline in muscle protein synthesis, i.e.

less muscle growth.

And the reasons for this are many and highly supported.

And those are a blunting of testosterone,

an increase in cortisol, the stress hormone that we know doesn't do anything favorable for our physiques, and also the simple ingestion of alcohol in terms of its seven calories per gram are those liquid calories that go down oh too easy.

Well, if your goal was to burn fat, you've got a problem there too, because in the presence of alcohol, your liver will metabolize it over stored body fat, making any fat loss attempts in your workouts that much harder.

Alcohol consumption after your workout is rife with the tripwires that are preventing you from getting where you want to be.

And therefore, it's one thing you definitely want to avoid after training, if not altogether.

The next thing to avoid is also related to your nutrition and it's called playing for the tie.

In other words, you just rewarded yourself for the workout you just did by feeding your face with something you probably shouldn't have.

That's no way to make progress.

And actually, it's looking at this the entirely wrong way.

You see, the reward is not the thing you get to do because you worked out.

The reward is getting to work out and then realizing your true potential.

And that will happen as long as you give it the time to set in.

When the reward becomes the fact that you consistently show up and develop that inner confidence of knowing that you are capable of anything you set your mind to, then all bets are off, you're on your way.

not to mention the fact that there is no equal trade going on here.

Regardless of how many calories you think you burn in the gym, you're going to easily eclipse that with the very first bite of likely that treat that you decide to pick.

Let's face it, a strength training workout might only burn one hundred eighty or two hundred calories, about one fifth of that half pint of Ben and Jerry's you're about to dig into.

The bottom line is that the true reward for your efforts is that you're one step closer to reaching your goals.

Don't do yourself a disservice and put yourself two steps back.

Okay, so depending upon what style of workout you just did, or your experience level that you brought into it, skipping your next workout because you're sore would be a giant mistake.

And the reason for that is, I could tell you as a physical therapist, as long as we're not dealing with an injury, but rather just simply muscle soreness, there's always something else you could do to keep the train rolling and keep your progress on track.

And that means maybe deferring the next workout

to a different muscle group altogether.

As a matter of fact, a well designed workout plan won't have you train the same muscle group back to back to back to back, but instead dispersing the load across the body through a pattern that lets you recover each and every workout.

And even if you did have to come back to the same muscle and you were still sore,

can opt for a lighter load that not only allows you to continue to train and stay on track, but it actually augments your results because that active recovery of performing a much lighter version of the workout you just did earlier in the week that left you sore could actually accelerate your muscle recovery and growth.

If you're looking for one thing that you should do after training, you're going to want to stretch, but at the right time.
