Preworkout and postworkout shake?

[bilat]

I've heard grape juice is good with whey but how much should I drink? 16oz is a lot of carbs... According to fitday, that's 65g carbs.

I know the topic have been talk a lot but I never found some "receipe" for pre-workout shake

If I found some bilat I'll post it here.

whats with all this preworkout shake talk ?

you should be much more concerned about the post workout one

I have my postworkout shake but why not a pre-workout shake to give some energize

The grape juice thing has been debated in great detail. Fructose is a shit carb, and I wouldn't mix my whey with it. Use some dextrose in a whey shake mixed with water, and call it a day.

I might be mistaken, but I think fructose goes through the liver before its release into the bloodstream. That would make the energy boost from fructose kinda delayed. IMHO fructose is better post-workout, but beforehand you want some glucose. Try coolaid

Excellent question.

I can't lift the same without oatmeal. Some people have lucky socks...I have oats.
