How much Dextrose PW do you guys take while cutting?

[lonewulf]

I also like a piece of fruit pre-workout(with fiber), an apple orange or pear. If you are really concerned about it, have 15 grams psyllium fiber with it. This is regardless of what people say about simple sugar pre-workout, I think the fiber slows absorbtion and i always feel better if i do this. I have learned to keep your calories as long as possible when cutting. This keeps muscle fullness best for me. I would keep your dextrose at 75 grams until u stop progressing, then, and only then you could reduce it slightly, but never eliminate it IMO. I also agree with the carb/pro meal about 2 hours after your dextrose/whey postworkout shake, as long as that meal is not immediately before bed.-WULF

BTW, you hit any PW cardio? Or just morning cardio?

JG1, I usually have the Postworkout#2 meal when I start to feel hungry which is usually around an hour to 2 hours, but will not wait longer than 2 hungry or not. Your 8:30 meal looks great. And the apple and timing as well. I just started incorperating 20min cardio postworkout because I'm trying to loose some holiday pounds, but if I were happy with my bf i would just stick to the morning cardio. And yes if I must train early in the day I will have no carbs after postworkout#2 meal. I will keep it Protein after the solid carb/pro meal (no fat) just in case I still have insulin present in the blood. Then will incorperate some moderate fat/pro meals till bedtime. Not as high as I would early in the day. The best thing would be to do your cardio in the am eat pro/fat all day then train in the evening and have your carb/pro #1,2 meals then hit the sleep. However, I know many have schedule's that don't allow it, like me (bartender). Another recommendation is to do your workout first thing a.m. cardio after then have your Postworkout meals, then protein/vegies, then switch back to protein fat.


Dialtone, www.supplementsdirect.com has dextrose 11lbs for $10 bucks. That's where I get mine till I find a better deal.

Wulf, I agree. Although too much fiber may bloat you out during workout...don't know haven't tried it. I have also had no probs having that carb/pro meal right before bed, actually have had great results. Just something to think about?

If you live in city that has any type of beer brewery-check it out. They are usually more than happy to give their dextrose away cheap. Miller hooks me up, I got 50 lbs for 5 bucks.

Protein Factory has it cheap!

Protein Factory has it cheap!

not as cheap as supp'sdirect. Jman's hookup looks to be the best if you can get that deal.

Solid,

How are you measuring out 80g of Dextrose from Supplement Direct? I know the labeling is wrong (1/3c=75g dextrose), and I've been using 1/2c (bout 70-75g dextrose). Is that what you're using too....1/2c of their dextrose?

yeah I just use a more rounded scoop, just estimating 80g, not being to particular, and I always have a tendency to have a heavy hand.

Solid,

Forgot to ask you....do you do any kind of carb-up/refeed/cheat day once a week while cutting? Many say on a low carb diet you need a refeed day once a week for leptin levels...although a cheat day would accomplish the same thing.

Or do you just diet strict all the way threw?

don't you guys have a bulk store where you are, you can get 5lbs of dextrose(corn sugar) for $3.00. no need to order anywhere.
