    The rule of thumb is 2:1, I as many as many other people here us 40 grams of protein and about 80 grams of dex in my post workout shake.

    I think 50g of protein and 80g of dex is fine... It also depends on what muscle group(s) were worked. A bigger muscle would require a larger amount than the smaller muscle groups...IMO

    my body has a research paper on this topic to find the optimum PWO shake, when i get it ill post, i read it and it is nuts they really went in depth when finding this out right down to the molecular structure,,, i remember the basics of it

    basically the 2:1 ratio but split up into 2 shakes evenly...

    1st: must be taken imediately following weight training
    500ml water
    20g of pro
    20g dextrose
    20g maltro
    1/8 teaspoon of salt

    2nd shake same as first but 15min later, and sip gradually for 45 min!

    I asked the question a while back about taking the same amount PWO when doing a smaller muscle group ex: shoulders only. The answers I got were to take the same no matter what.
