    look at it again, .3 - .4

    meanining if you weigh 175lbs. you would take 52-70g of dextrose post training

    My mistake... it should be .4 - .5 during a bulking phase... meaning 70-85g post-workout for a 175lb. lifter.

    Go to a local wine and beer making shop. They sell by weight there and it's super cheap. I just use gatorade or powerade powder myself. Pretty much the same thing.

    I put in between 60-90grams in with 40 grams of protein after a workout. This is in a bulking phase, but really, I do this while cutting too. Well maybe between 40-60 when cutting actually.

    Your body needs simple carbs after a workout. Won't turn into fat or anything. Simple carbs are actually more important than protein after a workout.

    Dadburnit........ I mean Dangit!

    I never thought of the local beer making shop. Thats a good idea. Mike XXL is a good one to talk to about this subject also.

    Is that you in your avatar Dangit? For 5'6 over 200 that is SWOLE dude. I am the same stature but 20lbs less.

    Peace

    Dextrose is a powder and looks just like white sugar. Tastes a bit sweeter. I bought some last week at a bulk food shop.

    I'd be carefull taking some before or during a workout. Might give you a quick energy burst, but then make you feel real weak. I've put 10-20 grams of it before with 30 grams of protein and sipped on it while working out before and it seemed to work. I usually just workout with a 1 litre jug that has 20-30 grams of protein in it. Then take another 40g and of protein after my workout with 60g+ of dextrose.

    That is me in the avatar. That pic was taken a month ago when I was down to around 190lbs before a show. I'm around 205 now and not quite as cut. It's real hard to stay that lean and grow
