Poll To See Your PWO Preference

[InsaneInTheMembrane]

Hey bros,

exactly 30 votes!! Thanks

Well, we have a winner: seems "Whey with Oats" seems to be the favorite here. Then we have Whey with dex or malt/dex with a tie not far behind (although these latter 2 results combined still eclipses the winner).

Furthermore, in the "other" category, the second highest vote getter, a majority specified a whole meal as PWO nutrition, which reflects the growing wisdom that whole foods is becoming a fast favorite because it helps people keep lean and equally as effective as whey...a trend that will give whey companies a run for their money

Finally, only a minority opted for whey only PWO and one vote didnt know what PWO meant... On the whole, we can see that a vast majority believe in carbs as essential for a PWO meal but a growing number of people are turning towards slower release and more complex carbs (oats and whole foods) and away from fast acting carbs such as dextrose or/with maltodextrin (although together, they still make up a whopping majority -40%- of all the votes).

In any case, I hope anyone designing their new diet plan will find this poll useful in helping them decide from the options out there. But judging from how close the results came in the main categories, it could make it even more confusing To that, all I can say is, see what works best for you

Cheers

P.S. Please feel free to continue voting....

I do endorse the Whole Meal aspect for PWO. However I do not think that it should replace Whey or BCAA's. Immediately PWO you want to spike blood levels of Amino Acids, primarily Leucine. This signals to the body to begin protein synthesis. After you have then consumed some fast digesting protein, it would be optimal to follow up with a whole meal of protein and carbs. So that glycogen can slowly be replenished and you have a slow release of amino acids over the next few hours to fuel the protein synthesis that you initiated by training and then consuming fast digesting proteins.
