ideal prot/dext PW

[WarriorPL]

What do you all think is the ideal ammount of protein and dextrose to take postworkout? I usually take about 40g protein and 50g dextrose.

I'm kinda curious about teh dextrose ... as for protein, one of the smartest biochemists I've ever known, supposedly even does research for met-rx, told me anything over 20 g's post workout is a waste... Whey is cheap enough to where i'm not worried about wasting, I usually put about 30 g's in my shake. more dextrose quantity numbers.... how much is NECESSARY to induce a sufficient insulin
SPIKE

I normally take about 50g protein/50-75g dextrose PWO...

ZKaudio, that's interesting. Has he published any of his findings or told you by word of mouth? I would like to read a little more on what he thinks. That's the first I heard that 20g is all you need

the ratio of carbs : protein in a p/w shake is usually 2 : 1
depending on your size and the intensity of your workouts
somewhere between 50-100g carbs unless you're doing monster workout or weight more then you can probably go upto 150/200g carbs
