The worst I see is the younger dudes who are naive and believe that eating gummy bears after a workout is a good thing.
The use of gummy bears post workout may seem like broscience but there is some validity to the argument. Knowing that our body is filled by Glycogen and that’s what helps us push though those final reps. It’s essential to recoup those glycogen stores after a workout. You have to know your body and your anabolic window however in order to get the required performance that you expect from them.
Jim Stoppani, Ph.D, doctor of exercise physiology stars on his website that you should invest them right after a workout. They are a fast digesting carb so it enters the blood stream faster and spikes insulin levels.
Using a high glycemic carb and the taking post workout supplements feeds the muscles faster.
