Post-Workout Shakes
Last year our program saw unprecedented strength gains with our new training schedule, and we think this year will be even better. In order for athletes to take advantage of the work they perform in the weight room, it is essential that they pair it with proper nutrition. You can’t build a house without the bricks after all!
The window after training is crucial to recovery. It is important that athletes get protein and carbohydrates in their system as soon as possible after lifting so that their bodies can begin the muscle building and recovery process. This can be challenging in a school setting which is why we offer a post workout shake to athletes who sign up for the shake program.
We will begin our spring post workout Gatorade shake program Monday, Aug. 26. Athletes who sign up will receive a post workout protein shake after every training session or practice (limit once per day). All they need to do is stop by Director of Sports Performance David Neill's office, sign next to their name and grab their shake. The price includes five shakes per week for 18 weeks. There will be a new sign up for shakes in the spring.
We have two options Gatorade Recover Protein Shake and Muscle Milk Genuine Protein. The Gatorade shake has a higher carbohydrate content for help with weight gain and recovery. The Muscle Milk shake has lower carbs for athletes who may be on a weight management plan.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Coach Neill.
