Ok. ok.

But i cannot be to creative here cause what works best works best.

Post workout:
-60 g dextrose
-30 g whey
-5 g bcaa's

But i also have a little pre workout thing going:
-30 g dextrose
-15 g whey
-5 g bcaa's

Since i read amino acid uptake by the trained muscles even seems to be more increased when the shake is taken pre workout than post.

[BlueAndromeda73]

Pre
50g whey protein
5g creatine
4g glutamine

Post
50g whey protien

doesnt the semi spike pre workout(30g dex) hinder the effectiveness and severity of the spike you are trying to obtain post workout(60g dex)?

Sorry bro, I cannot guarantee that. Probably your body will react a little less to the second spike.
But the research done regarding the pre workout shake indicated that both the pre- and post workout shake elevated amino acid delivery and remained elevated for 2 h after exercise.
Which is pretty cool since during exercise the pre workout shake also elevated amino acid delivery, and even at an increased rate.

[bigordie]

i understand that the pre workout spike is proven to elevate amino acid delivery- but i also understand that it will decrease your reactions to the post workout spike. i guess its just personal preference. I choose to spike my insulin only once. This has proven to be extremely effective for me and i do not see my body reacting well to two minor spikes.

[bigmitch]

1 1/2 scoops protein, 1-2 scoops gatorade, creatine

do you have proof of this?

The point of a pre workout shake is to start protein synthesis, and blunt cortisol. Glycogen replenishment is not totally insulin dependant either, so worrying about lesser insulin spikes is not really applicable.

PPWO amounts?

about three quarters of the way down swole gets into this exact topic...

Aree. glycogen synthesis and protein synthesis are both improved by insulin but protein/amino's improve protein synthesis independent of insulin.

And taking more than one shake in the period - pre workout to a few hours following the workout - will probably give the same metabolic effects. (as long as your not taking mega doses that is.

opinion, not proof. I never drink a shake pre workout, but I sip a diluted shake during the workout. Lethargy has never been an issue. If your cutting, than Id dump the during workout shake. I have noticed much better workouts since using a during workout shake, and wont workout with one.

[bigordie]

i agree-and though it is opinion it is the opinion of someone who gives these types of opinions for a living...i dont drink preworkout shakes either but i have read the plenty supporting both views and i feel that either keeping a constant flow until your pwo or relying solely on pwo is the best way to go
