🍎 Fuel Tank Theory: Targeted Nutrition

Nutrition is building blocks, not just fuel. To execute a spinning hook kick in the final 10 seconds, your glycogen management must be flawless.

🥗 Pre-Workout (90m Prior)

  • Complex Carbs: Oats, sweet potato.
  • Light Protein: Greek yogurt, egg whites.
  • Avoid: High-fat or high-fiber items (potential GI upset).

🥩 Post-Workout Recovery

The 30-60 minute window is critical. Aim for a 3:1 Carb-to-Protein ratio to replenish muscle glycogen and initiate fiber repair.

💧 Electrolyte Mix

Sweat loss is more than water. Ensure you replace Sodium (nerve signal), Potassium (muscle contraction), and Magnesium (ATP production).
