Gas, a bad thing to have while attending church. Those hard pews are not very forgiving.

But the gas we want to discuss today is fuel for your muscles. Especially the pre-workout meal. A planned out pre-workout nutrition plan will benefit your bodybuilding workout with optimum results. If you experience a "dead" workout, planning ahead could help obliterate this condition. A dead workout would be one that you run out of energy half way through or that you never get a "pump".

Because you don't want your energy to give out during the bodybuilding workout, you should consume foods with low glycemic indexes. To be fueled up will ensure that hard-earned muscle tissue will not be used for energy. These should be complex carbohydrates and not simple carbohydrates.

Save the simple carbohydrates for after the workout to replenish blood glucose levels. Some examples of low glycemic foods are apples, oranges, yogurt, milk, kidney beans, peanuts and soybeans. Remember the idea here is not to carbohydrate load with mega amounts like a trithalon or marathon athlete.

If you follow this practice you will be carrying the excess carbs as fat around your middle.

The fuel ratio the body uses for bodybuilding energy is 60% fat, 35% carbohydrates and 5% protein. You notice the low amount of protein used for fuel. The main reason for protein in bodybuilding is to rebuilding the muscle you have worked. The fat calories should come naturally from foods. Not fat saturated potato chips and other junk foods.

Make sure to drink plenty of water after your pre-workout meal. It will help you load your muscles full of glucose energy.

Some examples of high moderate and low glycemic foods.

High glycemic

• Gatorade-91
• Bagel-72
• Watermelon-72
• Potato-85

Moderate glycemic

• Pasta-41

• Orange juice-57

• Corn-55

• Peas-48

Low glycemic

• Apple-36

• Grapefruit-25

• Fructose-23

• Green beans-27

• Skim milk-32

• Yogurt-33

• Power Bar-30

My own personal pre-workout nutrition plan. We usually work-out about 5:00 pm. My pre-workout meal is about 3:00 pm. I generally eat a serving of soy protein natural cereal. You can usually find it at the natural foods section of the grocery store. And I also eat a couple pieces of fruit. I drink a liter of water during the afternoon. One thing I detest is being hungry during a workout. I try to eat foods that burn slowly to keep that full feeling.

I don't know how many times somebody comes up to me at the gym and says "I have no strength today, do you know what is wrong?" I retort with "did you eat plenty of good carbs throughout the day and drink a lot of water?" They then look puzzled and then walk away. I guess not. If achieving bodybuilding gains is your goal, design a pre-workout nutrition that works for you.

Jeopardizing your health is the last thing Nature Boy wants. Please check with your doctor before starting a fitness program. We want to make this a healthy start to a better lifestyle.
