Timing of NR precursors with weightlifting exercise regiment
Posted: Mon Aug 24, 2020 6:52 pm
Hi
I would like to do a bit of re-composition: lose body fat and gain muscle mass in a course of 6 months to a year.
Will be exercising 4 times a week weightlifting/bodybuilding style:
Day 1 exercise
Day 2 exercise
Day 3 rest
Day 4 exercise
Day 5 rest
Day 6 exercise
Day 7 rest
I usually follow a form of 16/8 intermittent fasting on all days, and exercise will be done just before end of fast to optimise muscle building signalling.
A.
Since building muscle is inflammatory process as far as I understand, want to make sure don't unnecessary tamp down on that "good" inflammation.
What would be the best way to take NAD+ precursors - on rest days or exercise days? I have 300mg NR and sublingual NMN 125mg.
B.
Would also like to take curcumin, but it is a powerful antioxidant so was thinking to take it on rest days 24 hours away from exercise on each side to make sure muscle building signals and mTor are not tampered with.
Your advice is much appreciated
