[adam12kyle12]

i was reading that is good to take after a workout i read take 40 to 60 gms of whey protein and double the with whey carbs dextrose 50% and maltodextrin 50% for a cutting diet and if take in 40mgs of protein does that mean i take 80grams of dextrose and maltodextrin each because that would be double at 50% each thankyou to anyone who can help and i have been looking online this stuff is cheap 10 bucks for 2lb bag so any info will help greatly thankyou

Maltodextrin and dextrose are practically one in the same...

[adam12kyle12]

is dextrose good to use after a workout or should i just have protein shake and oatmeal?

[IM708]

Oats and protein would be a much better choice.

Why oat post-wo? I thought that high gi carbs postwo were good.

Pro 40g
Malto 40g
Dextro 40g
Probably you heard this. In cutting i would take 40gpro and 40gmalto.

I went back to oats and whey PWO. Dex made me feel like crap and I never noticed the difference in high gi carbs PWO compared to low gi.

I did high GI for many years and now doing low GI. I noticed I stay leaner consuming low GI carbs PWO.

I don't buy the high GI carbs for this reason.
You are trying to restore glycogen right ? Now, if you are a pro and are going to be working out 2 maybe 3 times a day then i can see the need to try and replenish as fast as possible so it doesn't effect your second or third workout.

Now if your an average-joe chances are after a workout you aren't going to be lifting again for another 24 (sometimes 48 hrs) then i don't see the point in trying to replenish it ASAP.

Just my opinion.

i found low GI carbs work better for me too for the most part..although recently Ive been experimenting with karbolyn (similar to waxy) and results have been pretty good..added about 8-10 lbs in 2 months without changing really anything else in my diet..probably going back to oats for a while though

There is no significant benefit. Like dsm said if you are doing multiple workouts in a day and need the most recovery as possible then yes it is feasible. But in yours and my case it won't be all that beneficial and will contribute to fat gain.

Thank u. I'm taking potatoes as carb pworkout, cause i NEED solid food Pwo. It's a complex carb, but with high ig. Is it good?

Potatoes would be more a simple sugar since it is a starch that starts to get broken down into sugar while inside the mouth. Oats would be a better choice, but potatoes is definitely better than dextrose/maltodextrin.

What are you guys thoughts on Waxy maize, seems to be the new hot product for PWO

quick simple sugars are beneficial pwo. the body will look for quick replenishment straight after, aswell as this the simple sugars will help increase an insulin spike. your body will convert some of the protein you consume straight after and therefore waste what you want it to do ie, growth and repair. i have always had a glucose drink straight after and whey protein 20mins or so after that with no fat gain problems

You don't need simple sugars post workout. Your body is already in a hypersensitive state post workout. Protein gets within the bloodstream within 20mins of ingestion. Complex (ex: oats) carbs would be a much better choice.

I use maltodextrin PWO.. reason being I do hard labor for a living and I already struggle to recover as it is.
