How much dextrose should you intake in post workout shake?

How much dextrose should you intake in post workout shake? I'm only weighing in now at around 178 (I'm only about 5 foot 6 fellahs). Is there like a percentage of your bodyweight you should intake? I think I'm chugging down around 40g in my post workout shake, its the dextrose from proteinfactory.

.4-.8 grams per lb bodyweight.

I like to take in around 80 g of simple carbs and 40 g of protein post workout. Through trial, I have found that I seem to recover quicker from my workouts with that cocktail.

.4-.8 grams per lb bodyweight.

Even at the lowest part of that range, I'm still under that, so I'm taking in to little? Think I should bump it up to around 50 or 60?

40g of dextrose should be fine, but if you are bulking try adding 40g-60g more of more complex carbohydrates to maximize your gains.

Yes, I would at least take in .4 grams per lb of bodyweight...no matter bulking or cutting, your body needs to be replenished. 71-142 grams is your gadge to go by. On days that you train with extreme intensity take in more carbs. I always take in up towards .8 after Legs. Days that I work arms, I don't take in that much.

Well, I pretty much go balls to the wall no matter what I'm doing. I bust my ass as much as possible in the gym with the highest intensity I can muster. I do slow down for a week, maybe every six weeks or so, but for the majority of the time, all my workouts are extremely intense. Now my younger brother, weighs in the 150 pound area. So .4 X 150 = 60? Hmm, that seems like a pretty good equation to go by. Anyone else have anything they like to do for dextrose post workout?

I slap my nuts to girls butt's too, but when your using a bigger muscle like the legs the workout become's more taxing than working small muscle groups like the arms...so you can see how you may need more replenishment for larger muscle group days.

Fo those of you that are taking Supplement Direct Dextrose, is the dextrose labled correctly? It states 1/3c dextrose = 292 calories and 75g carbs. I've been using it for a while, but thought it was mislabled and I've been using 1/2c dextrose..thinking it was about 75g carbs.

Any help?

i have been using supplement direct dextrose also at 1/3 cup. i guess its 75 grams of dextrose been using that tub for a while though.To answer the thread i believe 75 grams of carbs is just about perfect after a workout
