IS MILK PRE/PWO BAD? (MAINLY PRE)

[Deroga]

I'm pretty new to the gym but my routine looks like this currently.

4:15pm - pre workout meal i have 4 cups of grass-fed a2 milk w/ 1 cup of organic fruit
5:00pm - workout
6:00pm - post workout meal / dinner i have 4 more cups of grass-fed a2 milk w/ 200g of dextrose in it for an igf-1 spike along with 1 scoop of isolate whey protein powder. This is alongside my dinner which is usually 8oz of wild caught fish or organic chicken (i have red meat for my first 2 meals of the day) alongside 1.5 cups of basmati rice and some water.

My main thoughts are concerning the pre workout meal, while I am not lactose intolerant and I generally digest milk well I am worried about the bathroom breaks during a workout / possible cramps / other problems. Should I alter this meal completely and have my milk another time during the day (should I have all 8 cups after my workout) or what?

High iq replies only PLEASE

Maybe stop designing it regarding how you could respond to it or tolerate it and just try it out, i mean just do it before a workout and see how it goes if it’s good continue if not switch it out it’s that simple

Yeah im trying it out tmrw. Researched it and theoretically it shud cause cramps plus i was wondering if maybe the carb count is too low. I'm unfamilair with what nutrients u shud consume pre-workout, while ik pwo u want simple monosacchraides / carbs for a igf-1 spike is there specific nutrients / amount u want to have before a workout and dose my 4 cups / fruit cover that?

Why would you drink milk preworkout deliberately ?

The perfect preworkout would be 0.5/1 g of carbs per KG of body weight, 3-6 mg of caffeine per KG of bodyweight.

always try to eat carbs after training aswell. If your session is too long try to eat intra workout carbs

4 cups of milk has 48g of carbs, i weigh 68kg so that passes the threshold of 34g of carbs per .5g of carb per kg

i dont need caffeine alsot i eat hella carbs (literally 200g of dextrose) pwo

Idk, if it’s fine for you then keep drinking it preworkout.

But for me personally I was a great milk lover but 4-6 cups made me very overwhelmed compared to just eating something like rice cakes/gummy bears/banana etc. i always felt sick after consuming so many milk.

But if it works good for you then keep doing it

Still too high fat imo
you can try milk vs. other pre workout of equal calories before sessions and see which you prefer

 

[ascendtocl122]

nigga stop fucking waffling google and figure out what works for you. i literally take a 2l jug of milk into the gym with me every time I train.
