Your muscles grow when they recover after heavy stress that you put on them in the gym. Your body 'thinks' that you were running for your life from a lion and nearly escaped, and it builds some extra muscle to make sure that you outrun that lion next time he finds you! The same story in other words: when you stress your muscle to the limit, it develops micro-injury. When it repairs the damage, having enough time and material, it 'overdoes' a little, to prevent you from having that 'micro-injury' in the future....so I guess powerade would help you with your energy.

No, Powerade will not help you gain any muscle mass, as there is no protein in it. You should try out some protein shakes instead.

Powerade does contain a lot of uncomplicated carbs, so drinking a lot of it will help you at least not loose any weight.

Hope it hepls, and good luck :)



Yes, it is full of glucose, which is what food is usually broken down into, as this is the fuel that your body uses the easiest. It is good to drink before and during exercise sessions, if you are not looking to lose weight.
