if i use dextrose in my Post-shake

[DSM4Life]

If i use Dextrose in my post shake do i need more carbs ?

[chest6]

You can, or not, depends on how much you use and how much whey you are using. When I use dextrose I just use 80g along with 40g of whey.

2:1 ratio...carbs are doubled to protein

[Buffman]

so, you need double the amount of carbs?

i really dont see why people say you need to double the amount of carbs to protein in your pwo shake...yes it is good to consume 100 grams of carbs and 50 grams of protein pwo but i highly doubt it would make a difference if i used 90 grams of carbs and 50 grams of protein.

[chest6]

True, now I think I get about 50g protein and 70-75g carbs. I dont think it will hurt anything.

[DSM4Life]

how many grams in one teaspoon ? I threw out package.

Why would you need more carbs if you are using dextrose already?

what do u guys thinks is the best pws right now im using large2 with water, tastes good but wanting to try somthing a little healthier any ideas?

[keth'naab]

Mr. Swole, I think he is referring to the "plethora" of information regarding maltodextrin and dextrose combined in PWO being better than just dextrose alone.

There is a mongoloid write-up on dextrose, maltodextrin and "window of opportunity" somewhere out there, and it indicates that due to the GI as well as the osmolarity of both malto and dext., it is advantageous to use both

are we splitting hairs? Yeah probably, but never stand in the way of the anally retentive and their desire for perfection. :P

FWIW, I use 3/8 cup of dextrose and 3/8 maltodextrin in my PWO along with 2 scoops of fruit punch isopure.

thoroughly kickass. tastes like a fruit punch powerade.

I'd encourage you to begin your own thread w/your questions so as to not hijack someone else's thread.

Thanks,

"Mr. Swole"

thats good stuff.

"Good day Sir!" "Mighty heavy weights today there Mr. Swole"

Not sure why... just strikes me as funny

I agree..but starting out on a cutting diet IMO you should keep it strict 2:1 and then later you can cut the dex down a tad...i do this with great results.

I started to use this mix for my post training shake and found my recovery improved and the next days training was better.

700ml Water
45g Natural Whey
40g Glucose
50g Maltodextrin
5g Glutamine
5g Creatine
3000g BCAA

I take this within 5 minutes of finishing my workout. When bulking I will take it again 1 hour later, then resume normal eating 2 hours after that.

That's my two cents.

No that was not what i meant.
I use to use "real food" for PWO shake like brown rice. My question is if i use dextrose thats all i need , correct ?
