What to Eat Before, During and After Training
by Cris Edmonds on November 20, 2023If you all follow me on IG, you know how much I believe in Peri-Workout Nutrition. To me, these are the most important to get right and John taught me this from day 1.
I have taken his concept and adapted to what works for me, but here is the premise:
• 60-90 mins prelift have a balanced meal (high protein, high carb, moderate fat)
• 20-30 mins prelift have Granite Pump products with salt
• While you train (EAA, carbs, creatine and coconut water)
• 30-60 mins post lift smash a meal (high protein, high carbs, no fat)
This has worked beyond well for myself and clients over the last 12 years. Apply this today to your workout window and watch your pump, performance and recovery go through the roof.

His understandings of John's philosophies from exercise selection or order, rep ranges, volume, intensity and days of training per week are ingrained in him from the 1,800+ workouts he had done under John's watchful eye.
