Dextrose PWO is pointless.... Consuming dextrose PWO is a practice utilised by endurance athletes if they are to be performing again within the same day....

Don't quote me but I believe that glycogen stores will be 'replenished' (well free glucose will be stored) within 24 hours... So unless you train with weights twice a day there is no need to worry....


However, never to rule anything out I will make a suggestion for you...

If/ when dieting consume a COH and BCAA'S drink intra workout.... Creating an insulin spike here is (on paper) IMO the best place for an insulin spike for a few reasons...

1.Consuming a COH drink as soon as you start training will literally give you energy for your workout.... When in an energy deficit we want to try and utilise the energy we consume in the most productive way.... A dextrose shake at the start of a workout will provide a rapid release of free glucose which will be the main substrate for the heavy workout.... If these COH's were not ingested you 'could' be in a position where your body has to start breaking down LBM to release glucose (gluconeogenesis)....

2. The fact you 'have energy' to train will result in a more intense workout which overall will burn more calories which is the goal when cutting....


However I can't really think of any other times to want to consume dextrose....


Layne norton however has done some research into meal frequency and he suggests that a lower meal frequency (every 4-6 hrs) when combined with a COH + BCAA mixture in between meals may increase overall dietary induced protein synthesis
