Are you an aging athlete on a mission as myself to get stronger, faster and leaner?

Don’t blame the aging process if you are struggle to get results.

Instead CHANGE how you fuel, train and perform as you enter your 40’s, 50’s and above. We shouldn’t be training the same way as when we were 20 or 30 something years old. Stop blaming the aging process if your program is not going your way- instead adapt and adjust what you are doing, experiment and get a personalized program.

Here is a tip. Build muscle by lifting heavy things, eating more protein and doing less chronic cardio (plus of course more hard/easy/easy days, mobilitly training and prioritize SLEEP!

My Preworkout suggested protocol

Kion Aminos 5 grams
Kion Creatine 5 grams
Plus add unsweetened RELYTE, LMNT or sea salt
2-5 grams Glycine

Post workout, depending on the time of day and workout, I have bone broth (Bonafide Provisions) once home or some days I mixed Kion Whey, Kion aminos 15-20 grams, Colostrum plus a good sea salt with ice and water.

Post evening strength workouts, I don’t do well eating before bed so less is more for my digestive system and quality of sleep – so sometimes it may just be Kion Aminos caps and salted water plus my pre-bed supplements as BiOptimizers Magnesium, Natural Stacks CBD Dream and later GI Detox or Activated Charcoal (as I am doing leaky gut repair and Candida protocol).

Ben Greenfield recently podcast his favorite pre-workout mix you can make yourself “that beats the pants off anything on the market is”:

5 g creatine
50-100 mg caffeine (a small cup of coffee or in time-release tablets)
1 serving ketone esters
10 g essential amino acids and
½ teaspoon sodium bicarbonate (baking soda).

Other coaches suggest… to sip before and during workout

8g of essential amino acids
Electrolyte mix as Thorne, LMNT or ReLYTE
5g creatine

Is this the “BEST pre-workout mix” you can make yourself that beats anything on the market?

5g creatine
50-100mg caffeine

We at Ketogains suggest the “Ketogains Coffee Pre-Workout” before strength training sessions: Strong Coffee mixed with 25g of a good quality whey protein, 10g MCT’s for energy, some sodium (add half a gram of sodium to this coffee for increased energy!) and in some particular cases, 5-10g rapid absorbable carbs like glucose. This is a true and tried formula that will help you maximize muscle gains.

The TKD (Targeted Ketogenic Diet) protocol is a specialist and advanced approach for ketogenic athletes that will allow one to lift harder and heavier, do some extra reps, as well as promote muscle growth while minimizing fat gain (as long as diet and training are on par, of course).

The Targeted Ketogenic Diet (TKD) is nothing more than the standard ketogenic diet (SKD) with carbohydrates consumed at specific times around exercise. This means that extra carbohydrates are consumed on days when exercise is performed. If fat loss is the goal, the number of calories consumed as carbohydrates should be subtracted from total calories, meaning that less dietary fat is consumed on those days. The TKD is a compromise approach between the SKD and the CKD.

The TKD will allow individuals on a ketogenic diet to perform high intensity activity (or aerobic exercise for long periods of time) without having to interrupt ketosis for long periods of time.“The Ketogenic Diet” by Lyle McDonald
