GM / WF / PW stack - queries

[Kayfabe]

Hi guys,

I have been browsing these forums for about a year now. Its great stuff. i have been using GM / WF / PW on and off for about a year, and love them.

A couple of queries on how I am taking them and whether its the "right" way to do it. I will be stacking the three when soccer season finishes early Sep 09 and hitting the weights hard again.

Morning workouts - pre going to work.

Get up 5:30am mix GM / WF together with 600-700ml water.

6am - workout - consuming PW mixed with 600-700ml water.

Post workout - protein shake and then throughout day various meals.

I suppose I just wanted to know if working out on an empty stomach (apart from GM/WF mix) is ok? I have been doing this for a while with WF only, and it seems ok.

Other workouts I would use the same routine - 30 mins prior GM / WF, with PW during workout and protein after.

Another query is the recommended water intake while using these products.
Should I include in my calculation the actual water I am mixing the WF/GM/PW with? Or should I consume the recommended water intake over and above what I mix with GM/WF/PW???

I'm from Australia so any talk in gallons and ounces are jibberish to me, would prefer talk in ml and litres.

Also, i am 6'5 and 100kg athletic.

cheers guys

Solid, and yes... you include the water used to mix supps. Just keep a water bottle on hand all day long and you'll be good.

I'm using a similar stack! All sounds good. The amount of water is really based on you own tolerance, imo.

This is my routine:

GM - 30 mins prior with 250-300 ml of water.
WF - 15 mins prior with 400-500 ml of water.
PW - During with 750-ml of water.
GGS - within 15 mins post.

Throughout the day I have approx. 6-8 L of water.

This works for me. It looks like you doing things right.

Keep at it and be consistent.

No, just converted the oz to ml, to help a brotha out.

thanks guys.

I can convert (am an accountant), just hate having to do it.

Pounds, ounces, gallons etc. Bloody Americans. hahahahaha

I'm counting down the weeks until soccer finishes so I can hit it hard again. Only getting to gym twice a week and feel myself losing strength.
