The Science of Workout Nutrition
The Science of Workout Nutrition
To build strength and lean muscle, you need to fuel your body properly before and after your training session. By eating the right foods at the right times, you'll have more energy to train, you'll recover better from intense workouts and you'll maximize the muscle building process.

Pre-workout Fuel
Many people work out first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. While exercising is a great way to start the day, eating something is essential to maximizing results. Even if it’s just half of an apple or a pre-workout shooter, which is something like a watered down glass of orange juice with a scoop of whey protein or simply a glass of water with a scoop of whey, the time it takes to whip up a quick snack will pay dividends in the results you see from training.
Recent research has shown that the pre-workout shooter may produce an effect equal to a traditional post-workout recovery shake. Whey protein is great choice because it’s digested fast so it gets to your muscles quickly. Here are a few sample snacks combos:
1. 1/2cup orange juice + 1 cup water + 1 scoop whey protein
2. 1 scoop EAS Endurathon + 6 to 12 ounces water
3. 8 ounce smoothie – vanilla whey protein, berries, a little orange juice and ice
4. Yogurt with 1/2 cup cereal
5. Energy gel
6. 16-ounce sports drink
7. Slice of toast with natural peanut butter
8. 1/2 energy bar
Post-workout Fuel
For active people, this may be the most important meal of the day. After a training session, your body craves nutrients to repair damaged muscle tissue. If you’re not feeding your body these nutrients—whether you’re working out or even sleeping—not only will you not optimize your training, but you also risk your body turning to lean muscle stores for a source of energy, an process known as catabolism.
Drinking a shake or sports drink or eating an energy bar after you train will help maximize the muscle building process and expedite your body’s recovery process. Look for something with about 0.8 grams of carbohydrates per kilogram of body weight and 0.4 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight.

Tip Top Shape
Great job Robert Stineman..Winner last weekend National Open Doubles and singles Champion
Robert has been training very hard...he is so disciplined as he never misses a work out.
Not only is he working on his speed , agility and injury prevention at Tip Top but he works hard on his own and Pushes himself...That's what it takes!!
Jared Hiltzik is stepping on the pedal as has had great success already in the 18's in Waco, Texas National Open. He has a new commitment to fitness as he will be working hard to get much stronger in the next few months during High school Tennis season. Watch Jared as the MOVER
of the Year!
Watch for Tip Top's summer schedule!

Baseball performance Training
The High school baseball Players at Tip Top are getting ready for try-outs.
They have been improving greatly as they are working on core strength, speed,
agility, acceleration, injury prevention and quickness.
Our debate has been why bench press is not important training baseball players. Think of your chest as a Cadillac and your back a Volkswagon. Large versus small stabilizer muscles ..so the Volkswagons need to get stronger and stabilize the large Cadillacs muscles.
The exercises we emphasize:
Core (center of gravity)
Rotator cuff (injury prevention to rotator cuff)
explosiveness and speed
Good Luck to all in try-outs next month
