When it comes to working out, it isn’t just what you do during your workout but after your workout as well that makes a difference in how much muscle you can build. In this video, I’m going to share with you the 10 worst things to do after training that can hold back your gains and undercut the effectiveness of the time you spent in the gym. The first of these is the use of NSAIDS or ibuprofen after a workout. People often take these in order to diminish the delayed onset muscle soreness they may experience the next day. While this may in fact help with that it also prematurely interrupts the inflammatory process that is a natural part of muscle repair and recovery. Without this, your body may not grow to its fullest muscular potential. The next thing you want to avoid if your goal is to build muscle is jumping into an ice bath. While cold water immersion therapy has been shown to be beneficial in so many ways it, similar to the use of aspirin, can prematurely blunt the natural inflammatory process that is a natural part of helping to grow muscle. Next up is one that many are likely happy to put in the rear view mirror and we are talking about the anabolic window. It was once thought that you needed to ingest protein within 45 minutes following a workout in order to see the benefits of muscle protein synthesis. Thankfully, that is no longer supported by science. As long as you have protein either before or within a couple hours after training you are good to go if your goal is to gain muscle mass. That said, you do not want to diminish the importance of protein in general. Some have taken the lower importance on protein timing to mean that protein intake can also be casual. This is not the case. You need to try and ingest at least. 8 to 1. 2 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight. Doing this in small and somewhat equal amounts will ensure the consistency is there to see your best muscle growth possible. Next you want to be careful about when you are doing your conditioning and cardio workouts. If the choice was to do them before or after your workout and your goal was to build muscle then you would definitely opt for after since you wouldn’t want to tire yourself out before your strength training. That said, even right after your workout can be counterproductive for reasons supported by science. You are better off putting them on off days if able. A couple of things that people might overlook but they are no less important in terms of seeing results from your gym workouts is not weighing yourself after a workout and forgetting to look in the mirror before you leave the gym. If you gauge the effectiveness of your workout by the weight on the scale you are going to be misled, either up or down, by the number. Also, if you forget to look at yourself with a pump you are missing a golden opportunity for motivation to keep you coming back based on the fact that this is one of the only times you get a glimpse of what the after will look like when you are currently the before. There are a few other mistakes you are going to want to avoid and make sure you’re not doing after a workout. I will summarize them with time stamps here to follow. In the meantime, be sure to avoid these after workout mistakes and make sure to head to athleanx. com if you want a step by step workout and meal plan to help you build muscle without any guesswork at all.

Does anyone have any advice on some things
One: If you have the app from Jeff, could you advise me on how to do certain exercises for the Exercise Ball For example, the plank stand knee tucks. I completely fail on those, along with other exercises of the ball.
Two: How do y’all stay consistent with workouts I have a physical trainer and a nutritionist helping me. But I’d like other people advice on it. My trainer even has an app for me to go to everyday expect my rest days. But that leads me to the question above.

2 questions I had from this video.
Cardio before workout: if I do a mile run in about 9 mins before workout because it isn’t too fatiguing and makes me feel warmed up, will I still have the same negative impact on my weight training
Rest days: I haven't really seen anyone cover this. Do you adjust what you eat on your rest days considering that you’re probably burning far fewer calories by not working out that day. Obviously meeting your protein goals, but do you eat less or reduce carbs on those rest days

Lol, who tf takes more than 200-400 mg of Ibuprophen at a time If you are in that much pain, you are doing your routine wrong. You have to stack 6 pills in a 24 hr period to reach that 1200 mg dose, which is normally a maximum. If you need that much, your metabolism is probably burning through it and building muscle anyway. Fix your form and be realistic about what you are trying to accomplish, nothing will set you back like an injury.

Hey Jeff! Love the information, but I wanted to point out that the there is some ambiguity in the first point. Verbally, you said aspirin several times, however all the reference information in the background was for ibuprofen or generically mentioned NSAIDs, it might be better to make mention NSAIDs or anti inflammatory medications in general.
As always, love the video and thank you for the information.

re: the cardio and conditioning on your off days, what if you follow a 6 day a week plan like PPL would it be ok to go for a run on your rest day, and then also your two push days for example, since your legs aren't being worked on push because if you just do cardio on your rest day that's only one day a week, and deffo not enough
reply

So you're saying that if I consistently work out on a semi empty stomach to wear in the middle of my workout or towards the end I start getting hunger pains in my stomach because it's empty and then let's say 20 minutes or 30 minutes later I'm done take my shake would be a lot better for me because it'll go through everything
reply

Hey Jeff, thanks for all the great content!
What’s your advice to people being dependent on high doses of antihistamines to treat severe allergies and more specifically chronic hives. This type of medicine supposedly impacts the body’s stress response negatively in such a way that it diminishes the results of training.
reply

Loving these videos. As like most of us here, optimising the progress made in the gym is the goal. As someone who commutes to work by bike, immediate cardio (or within an hour of lifting, is unavoidable to me.
Any advise from/for those who cycle

Hello M. r. Jeff, my feet are flat. Usually it happens to me while running and jogging, once or twice a month. It feels as if I've snapped something and I'm unable to walk for a few minutes. It hurts so bad. Please help if possible.

After work, well. times one has to take advil. More to do after the work day is done. As for working out after some days, well. Was already pumping iron back in the day as a welder. Finding enough rest was an adventure on its own.

Question: That. 8 - 1. 2 grams per body weight, I’m 340lb, I have a pretty big frame, but I’m still around 40% bodyfat. My goal weight is around 250lb.
Should I use my goal weight Or actual weight when calculating my protein goal
reply

0: 10 Aspirin
0: 50 Ice bath
1: 45 Anabolic window
2: 40 Insufficient Protein
3: 45 Immediate Cardio
5: 35 Weigh bodyweight
6: 35 Last look
7: 45 Alcohol
8: 45 Wrong Reward
10: 00 Soreness

I think a post workout flex with pic included is a good thing also for accountability. You know what you’ve gained and having a record of it will help you want to maintain it and go back to it if you ever fall off from training.
reply

1200 mg of ibuprofen is potentially toxic to your kidneys, especially if you did that regularly. Really think you should let your subs know the perils. Otherwise, some may start taking ibuprofen as a supplement. NOT GOOD.
reply

Jeff is overthinking. I do Cardio right after my weight training and I have no problem gaining muscle and losing fat at the same time. If you're just a normal person like me, there's no problem whatsoever.
reply

I have listened to your videos for years, so many! I always wanted to thank you for your generosity jeef. I am a woman, 58, eventhough you address mostly aman crowd. too bad I love your explanations.
reply

9: 47 yea, definitely stay off of, the sugars. Pizza Pasta cereals cookies muffins BREADS, DOGHNUTs, sugary GATORADE, sugary Orange/Apple/Cranberry Juices. All these are so useless to the body.
reply

cold plunging is BS. just because it gives you a provable dopamine hit, that makes it good wake me when it makes you healthier and helps to build muscle, until then Im out
reply

Hi Jeff I've tried many types of protein powders but it seems it doesn't agree with if you get what I mean. What esle can I do to hit my protein goals each day
reply
