During the post-workout phase of training our bodies are in a hypoglycemic stage. Blood-sugar and insulin levels have drastically dropped. Immediately following exercise natural GH concentrations struggle to increase as insulin levels try to rebound from its current highly catabolic state.
A simple carbohydrate supplement combined with the post-workout window of opportunity will give immediate rise to blood glucose levels and cause a state of hyperglycemia. This will force a increase in the production of insulin! In other words simple carbohydrates will lay the smack down on cortisol production.
The newly increased quantity of insulin in the blood will drive much needed glucose (and amino acids) through the receptor sites in the muscle cell at an insane rate.
These elevated stages of blood glucose will begin causing further secretions of Growth Hormone, the key hormone responsible for producing Insulin Growth factor.
Why simple carbohydrates? Increased absorption rates, and an abruptly induced insulin burst. The faster you can get glucose into your bloodstream and muscles, the less protein destroyed and the more glycogen stored.
This is the one time of the day when you want to stay clear of complex carbs. Complex and fibrous carbs simply take way too long to digest and will not give optimal insulin release to offset muscle catabolism.
You also want to stay far away from any fat and fructose sources post-workout. Fructose will not replenish muscle glycogen but rather will replenish liver glycogen. Fat severely delays digestion because it metabolically requires so many more processes to break down.
Another vital key to post-workout nutrition is insulin sensitivity. Creating stronger insulin sensitivity is the primary way to get the most out of your post-workout simple carbohydrate intake.
Jacob covers how to do this in his 13 Weeks to Hardcore Fat Burning “The Diet” article. I highly recommend adhering to the list of ways to increase insulin sensitivity he describes in that article whether you are on a bulk or cut. It will make your insulin spike, via simple carbs, that much more potent.
Only certain types of simple carbohydrates will replenish muscle glycogen. These are carbohydrates in the form of glucose/dextrose.
The basis of our simple carbohydrates (post-workout) should come from sources that register high on the glycemic index. A range of 100-130 will work the best for our purposes. Dextrose or Maltodextrin are the two sources of simple carbs I recommend to ingest post-exercise.

dextrose is glucose.
its cheap. You can buy it at any beer brewing store (brewing store- not liquor store)

I use Gatorade with Whey protein and add some sugar into it, problem solved

richspc said:
dextrose is cheap 2$/kg. welches 100% grape juice is expensive.
it is not true that any form of simple sugar will do Fructose is quite poor at restoring muscle glycogen.
Sucrose is 50d/50f dextrose/fructose
HFCS is 20d/80f or 10d/80f
fructose is of course 100f
excess fructose, above what is needed to be stored as liver glycogen, is easily stored as fat (even without the presence of insulin).
as a further note- fructose over feeding is what is used to induce diabetes in animals.
so the statement "any simple sugar will do" is not a helpful reccomendation.

hey mac,
i know we spke of this before, but adding how much dextrose to my pro complex post work out will be suffice?? i'm @ 180lbs. 5'10" around 13-15% bf. also does the dex make it unbearably sweet?? i have been just drinking my pwo 10-12 ounces of cold water w/ 2 scoopd pf pro complex, nothing elses added.
