Overview

If you are serious about weight training, you have probably experienced the ''plateau phenomenon.'' You train harder, you consume extra protein in your diet, but you just don't get the strength and power gains that you want. For the last ten years sports nutrition has focused on what to eat. The latest research from leading sports science labs now shows that when you eat may be even more important. Nutrient Timing adds the missing dimension to sports nutrition, the dimension of time. By timing specific nutrition to your muscle's 24-hour growth cycle, you can activate your body's natural anabolic agents to increase muscle growth and gain greater muscle mass than you ever thought possible.

    The most comprehensive book you'll find.

    This book offers an incredible array of data that cannot be ignored. The premise of the book is that those who consume a carb/supplement drink before, during, and after a workout increase their metabolic rate, sustain energy, blunt cortisol, and increase muscle mass. This book is for both men and women alike. I definitely recommend it to any fitness professional, as well as any lay person. I thoroughly enjoyed the research, which would have taken me months to compile on my own. A definite must for any library of fitness books.
