Dextrose????
- Thread starter rgosit
- Start date
I take 35g of Dextrose, 5g of L-Glutamine, 5g Creatine and Crystal Light (for taste) after a w/o. Then 30 minutes later I down 50g of Whey Protein. Be careful of the amount of Dextrose you take. The Insulin spike can work for you or against you. You can get great absorption of nutrients but you can also get fat!
I found this helpfull to me .http://www.avantlabs.com/issue5/pre_post_workout_nutrition.htm

yes... very interesting, thanks!
to sum it up:
you need a quick acting supplement of both carbohydrate and protein
Carbohydrates: 0.8-1.0 g/kg of bodyweight (50/50 blend of dextrose (glucose) and maltodextrin)
Protein: 0.4-0.6 g/kg of bodyweight (hydrolyzed whey protein or a blend of this and a whey isolate )
5-10 grams of Branched Chain Amino Acids and Glutamine (3-5 grams of BCAA and/or 3-5 grams of glutamine)
3-5 grams of creatine monohydrate.
Good link Dito.
Rgosit...I played around with different grams of Dextrose and found that 100, 75 and 50g was too much for me. I got fat. And I mean fat not bulk! So I cut back a little at a time on the Dextrose over a year (2 months per gram amount) to see what works for my body type (I'm a Endo/Meso combo) so gaining weight (fat) isn't too hard for me. I say play with various gram amounts and keep good records. Expect to gain a little fat but not too much. A little fat means you are giving your body enough nutri to GROW. Remember that everyone is different. This is why I buy all my supps seperate and mixed them myself.

You could have bought 11 pounds of dextrose for $10 at supplementsdirect.com and that would have saved you a grip.
