How much dextrose

**joeybenz** · 10-20-2004, 09:37 AM

I've posted about dextrose and I really didn't get any answers. So my question is how much dextrose should I put in my post workout shake?

2:1 ratio dex/whey

if you use 40 g whey, then 80 g dex

You want to mix the dextrose with whey isolate, i.e. fast acting carbs with fast acting (digesting) protein.

Agreed. And you want isolate because is has hardly any other crap in it, i.s. carbs and fat.
