    PWO Nutrition

    I know my pwo should have dextrose and malto carbs, and i know they should be 50% 50%. What exactly does that mean. half of the carbs i put in should be dextrose and the other malto? and how many grams of carbs should be contines in the pwo?

    I use 100% dextrose myself.

    Amounts are based upon your goals and your other dietary intake.

    i have never needed to try malto, i am happy with the dex alone. but if you decide yes 50/50 should be ok. amount of carbs depends on the intensity of your workout and your fitness goals

    So you bump up the carb to protein ratio if you intend on doing a really intense workout?

    you want a 2:1 ratio of carbs / protien in PWO shakes. so if your having 50 grams protien you want 100 grams of carbs.

    Yeah, David's service is 2nd to nobody. Customer service, potency of products, turn-around time, and cost are all major advantages of this location!
