Training Tips: Multiple Workouts
Using
Pro Power Plus, Rebuild II and Nutri-build III for Multiple Daily Workouts
"How often should a person consume Pro Power Plus, Rebuild II or Nutri-Build III
when they are working out more than once during a day?" This is an
important and often-asked question. I will give you the guidelines we
employ with the San Antonio Spurs during pre-season camp when we go through
two-a-day practices/workouts.
The goal is to consume enough Pro Power Plus, Rebuild II or Nutri-Build III to maximize
recovery - from workout to workout and from day to day. Because of the
additional stress and wear and tear that multiple daily workouts create,
it is important to increase the amount of the product taken. As a rule
we will consume one dose (based on body weight) an hour before the morning
practice and one dose immediately within the first 45 minutes following
this workout. In the evening, we apply the same schedule; one serving
an hour before practice and another immediately following practice. It
is key to note, and it has been scientifically shown, that the body is
at its most "hungry" for nourishment within the first 45 to
60 minute window following intense workouts. This post workout recharging
is critical for fast recovery. We like Nutri-Build III for post workout
supplementation because of the extra carbohydrates in the mix. Extra carbohydrates
have been shown to speed recovery when taken in this time frame.
You can apply these same principles to yourself to supplement your own
multiple daily workouts. Try experimenting with both the number of doses
per day and the amounts. I think that you will like the way you feel and
perform.

Spurs
"There is no
question Rebuild II has made a significant difference in our ability to
perform and recover from our grueling schedule."
