When to eat before a lift

About 30 minutes before you get a lift in you need to have a good combination of both protein and carbs, for example try mixing protein powder with oatmeal which if you haven't learned already is one of the best foods for a wrestler to have in his diet. Do this and of course remember to stay hydrated. Do not over or under eat before a lift.

Post workout you want to eat approximately 30 minutes to 1 hour after you want to try drinking a simple sugar like juice or have a milk shake, to get protein in try tuna, or eggs ideally you want around 40 grams of protein in you post work out.

Proper nutrition before and after a workout is critical to recovery and the quicker we recover the more we can get out of your next work out.
