About the Video

This presentation will include both acute and chronic nutrition strategies for maximizing muscle recovery from intense, eccentric training. Bodybuilder-specific data is often lacking in the sports nutrition literature – a situation that Lowery has worked to correct. This talk will address nutritional pitfalls of resistance athletes with suggestions for correction. Specific data will also be presented on the time frames and physiological systems involved in optimal recuperation. Research on macronutrients (proteins, carbohydrates, fats) will be translated into strategies for personal gains in muscle mass, strength and continued progress.
