Tell me why you DONT use dextrose pwo.

[MFT81]

Is Dextrose needed pwo for NATURAL b.b.s? I read the kaptin/Giantz thread and understand that comparing a slin injection vs. Dextrose is comparing apples to rollerskates. I, along with a couple others were confused and it seemed that Giantz said using dextrose pwo for a Natural b.b. was pointless.

I asked some of my fellow bbs at the gym last night and they had never heard of the concept of using sugar with protein pwo, specifically on a 2:1 ratio.

So, before this turns into the new "Can I drink winny" diet thread, for those that are NATURAL, tell me why you don't see the need to mix dex w/ pro PWO. THANKS!

I dont find the need because I havent for 2 years and I have gained 25lbs of lean mass and I keep my bodyfat at 5%-7% year round

Just curious, but whats the difference if your natural or not?

[Bryan2]

A small amount does indeed have an effect but the whole 2-1 ratio isnt neccessary.


Id say that one could get away with as little as 20mg simple carb and have relativly the same response.

Again im no expert though.

I love the 2:1 ratio and get better results with dex PWO then anything else, so I guess It depends on the person. Try both ways and see what works best.

I'd honestly rather not get into the whole debate again. You can use Dex PWO and have it be effective. However we were talking about Dex vs Injected Slin. Thats a whole new ball game. Let just leave it at that. I think the 2:1 ratio is less important than just making sure you are getting in a carb/protein drink PWO. My advice would be to at least have a carbs and protein PWO, whether you choose to use Dex or not, well thats up to you.

Alternatively, I've won all of my shows using dextrose, and use it all the way up until the last week before a show and it works for me.

Just goes to show you that everyone should just experiment and see what works for him/her as someone already stated here.

That is the best course of action.
