PWO carbs question
Can someone tell where to find info on PWO carbs? (or what PWO even stands for) I know that its either dextrose or maltdextrin and that they somehow shuttle glycogen to the muscle instead of the liver. I've always used Grape juice with whey protien in my post workout shake. What kind of carbs is grape juice, frutcose? Thanks, bubba

I would avoid grape juice - contains mostly fructose, and if it's a processed kind, then it contains high fructose corn syrup (HFCS, the sutff they use in sodas, and just about everything else)...the body has a harder time processing HFCS and will convert the majority of it directly to fats.

cb25 is right on the money. the best is dextrose\maltodextrin combo 50\50
fructose restores liver glycogen, not muscle glycogen
gatorade powder or smarties are alternatives, but honestly dextrose is one of the cheapest supplements on the market. at www.supplementdirect.com you can get 10 pounds of dextrose for $11 ($20 total when shipping is added)

A supplement called Glycoload by Cytosport has a perfect mix and can be picked up at most website. The devil (AKA gnc) has something called Carbo Fuel. There's no mixing involoved and you can just add two scoops and you are set with a perfect ratio.
