I wanted to comment here quickly on the quoted text above. 20 grams dextrose will do NOTHING for you post WO, as the most beneficial dextrose to whey ratio is 2 to 1. Meaning if you have 60 grams of protein from whey post WO, ideally you'd include 120 grams of simple carbs from dextrose in that "shake" which is made with water of course.
I don't see what 20 grams of carbs from dextrose will do, especially coupled with 60 grams of protein from whey powder. It's so minimal it will get blunted effect wise from the whey, and you really want to concentrate on getting at least some of the glycogen replenished post WO as that step is necessary for the repair process to begin quickly. (even though repair will take days to complete totally, you benefit greatly by commencing the repair process asap and in the correct manner) The aminos from the whey will assimilate that much more easily w/less waste when the carb/glycogen aspect is addressed post WO, and that first step is very key to obtaining the best and most expedient recovery for the said bodypart(s). The sooner you can repair the muscles the sooner they can be worked again. The number of days you must rest/recover have been shown to differ greatly from those who have a methodical post WO scheme vs. an approach that is sub-par in nature. Those few hours post WO can, and do, make a difference in the overall time-frame needed for the bodypart(s) to make a full recovery. How much quicker/days ahead of the "norm" or "what was" will depend on each person and his/her genetics and recovery ability in addition to the nutritional strategy that is implemented.
Bottom line: Make that first liquid post WO feeding impeccable to address your goals/aspirations as they pertain to fitness and progress of your physique development. Ideally, you will want to also address what I personally utilize (inherited from my own coach) in the form of my 2nd post WO meal, as that is almost equally important, but is another story/offering in and of itself.
Good luck, pm me if you'd like to know more about my
inherited strategies that have changed my physique entirely in what is now only my 6th week with the set of
principles and "rules" that I now execute on a daily basis.
