Lee Labrada showed his quads at 62 years old!

Lee Labrada is one of those bodybuilders who managed to break into the top 5 at the Olympia. But Lee did it seven times in a row, proving that he was one of the best bodybuilders in the world in his time! Thanks to this, he has gained a lot of experience that he can pass on and teach young enthusiasts of this beautiful sport.

For example, he also passes on his information via YouTube. In a video from last December, Labrada even revealed what he thinks is the most important thing to eat after training for muscle growth.

Let's start with what your body wants from you. It wants two things after a workout. First, it wants to replace the energy you burned during your workout. And second, it wants to start repairing and rebuilding your muscles.

So how do we do that? First, to replace the energy you burned during exercise, you need to raise your blood sugar. And one of the quickest ways to do this is by consuming carbohydrates. And second, start with muscle repair and recovery. You need to supply your body with amino acids, and that means consuming protein."

A rise in blood sugar triggers the release of insulin. Insulin helps stop the process of muscle breakdown in your body, Lee Labrada said. You can reach for a banana as a post-workout carbohydrate source. If you take protein along with carbohydrates, you will also replenish the amino acids needed to replenish your amino acid stores. So your body can start the recovery process.

90 minutes before your workout, have a complete meal consisting of protein and carbohydrates. Secondly, drink a protein shakeright after your workout along with a banana. And third, eat another full meal 90 minutes after the protein shake and banana. Follow this protocol to get the best results from your workout. It takes a little effort, but it gets easier with planning.

However, Labarada Sr. also stays active on social media, where he recently posted a video of him showing off his brutal quads, which he maintains even in his advanced age!
