I just downloaded an e-book called "Body Weight/Martial Arts Exercises" and it seems pretty good.
I just got this from it and it seemed interesting:
Quote:
It is bad if you are hungry before your workouts over. That’s a sign your blood-glucose levels are dropping and
muscle glycogen is being used at a really rapid rate, and you’re about to use muscle protein for energy.
Catabolizing that is BAD. When you use muscle protein for energy, you’re making your muscles smaller instead of
bigger. That leads to overtraining and is counterproductive, and can also compromise your immunity and your
overall health.

Seems to make sense, So before I work out I need to have high glucose levels that arent going to deteriorate quickly.
I guess I should buy some lucozade :P.
