Jack, ground rice works perfectly in liquid form. Would be as easy as blended oats (if not easier) to consume. You may need to add a fat source as that would be very rapidly absorbed.

Quick question Jordan,
You mentioned that you have changed your intra to solely EAA’s and HBCD. Due to removing the pepto pro, have you increased EAA amounts? Also have you replaced the protein from the pepto pro to other meals throughout the day or was that an intentional caloric drop? -
Seconding Stephen here, drinking calories (especially carbs) at this point does nothing for satiety. You don’t have to worry about getting the carbs in as quickly as possible PWO, especially due to your intra and pre workout.

Vinny, it’s fairly obvious which Santi Aragon is the correct one, he’s an IFBB Pro…

I’m always in the fasted cardio camp! People argue that the differences is insignificant but I feel that you cannot compare the hormonal environment of a fasted state vs a fed. Not only this, but people only consider the caloric expenditure within THAT session!! Well what about the interference affect? I choose to do my cardio fasted at stupid o’clock because it’s as far away from my resistance training as possible. This will not only reduce the interfering mechanisms (CV vs resistance) but will also allow more time to recover between sessions (more time, more meals/fluids…)
Finally, I couldn’t think of anything worse than pounding away on the stairs with food in my stomach!!

I wouldn’t get hung up on one exercise feeling a little ‘off’ for one day!! Obviously if this persists then rotating out is valid but you’ll have to see. Is it a new exercise or has it been in the program before?

From a personal perspective I feel cutting water around 15 minutes either side of meal times works very well. Meadows and Bpak go into more detail about this too; not only from a digestive standpoint but even body composition.

and also, thanks for the reply on the daily meals. I had completely forgot I had asked you for it. What’s the current set up looking like, as you’ve upped food a decent amount since then?
-
Just stumbled on your log Al, enjoying following it!! Making me wish I could be in a position to do similar! Making awesome progress though.

You may be delt dominant, but IMO you could place a delt compound earlier on in at least 1 if not 2 of your sessions (before fly variations), as performing them later on in all 3 sessions will not allow you to reach the loading you would if place earlier. Also, by placing them after you main chest press, you won’t really be detracting from chest training.

I second that strawberry vote!!

Maybe try having foods that don’t make you feel that way and then utilise the excess calories the next day Steve.
But going back to the original question Max, I always try and situate the cheat in the post period. However, if not feasible then I usually lower the content of that PWO meal, but still ensure there is a good amount of Pro/Carbs!

Patrick,
Hydrolysed Whey is another substitute for pepto pro when money is tighter. From what I understand, there is no research suggesting further benefits from pepto pro vs hydrolysed whey, but it would also come down to personal experiences and how it sits/digests during training -
Really like the content provided here Ali, will be interesting to see more!! Unsure whether it will fit in this thread but would also be interesting to see your meal setup too

Nick,
With regards your numbers obviously this is individual dependant; so relative to your resting levels, so providing that would help answer.
Also with regards hydration, if your not already sufficiently hydrated prior to the meal this will drastically reduce glycogen replenishment and if anything consuming large volumes of liquid during the meal could have a negative impact. So in other words, ensure you’re sufficiently hydrated prior to the consumption of your PWO.
