Q&A Two views of workout and sports nutrition

What to have for maximum recovery from training and when to have it

I recently was asked to join James Collier on stage at the BodyPower expo at the NEC for a nutrition Q&A. By way of introduction James is a ex dietician and now a Registered Nutritionist and probably the UK’s foremost specialist nutritionist for bodybuilders. Various topics were covered in the seminars we gave but here is a short excerpt on sports nutrition.

James (in the distance) kicks off going into good detail about the products available to the trainee like whey protein, various carbohydrates. I follow (in the foreground) up talking a little on the timing aspects of the issue. My view is that whilst you should look into things like hydrolyzed whey, vitargo, waxy maize starch etc but keep in mind that the timing dogma often followed “drop the weight and start on the recovery nutrition” is a little short sighted.

So there we go, the sports nutrition question covered from two different angles by two different nutrition specialists:
