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.

 

[gmanlax7]

the topic of shakes has been covered a ton, run a search on it

 

[daok]

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.

 

[gmanlax7]

whats with all this preworkout shake talk ?

you should be much more concerned about the post workout one

 

[daok]

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

why not preworkout solid food ?

Excellent question.

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

so long as it isn't A LOT and it isn't TOO SOON before working out...I hate that full feeling when I lift...uuugggghhhh!

I usually train after my supper so I always have a pre workout food but if I eat some meat I do not have the same amount of carbs that if it was pasta.


SPATTS can you tell me how many grams of dextrose you use?

 

[spatts]

I guess it's about 60g. I like the Protein Factory Post Training Formula. It's 50% maltodextrin, 25% CFM Whey, and 25% hydrolyzed 520 whey (fastest absorbing whey available). This is the only shake I have ever FELT a difference from. I can be dragging ass BAD after training, and ten minutes after chugging that, I'm a new person.

 

[bilat]

So I should have coolaid (just any kind??) with whey preworkout and grape juice with whey postworkout?

I've read it's better to have a preworkout shake than a postworkout shake but both are good. So, i'm gonna try both.

anyone?

 

[gmanlax7]

not getting into this again

there was just a giant thread of pre/postworkout shakes

by legion kreniok 2 or whatever the hell his name is, search for it

 

[bilat]

I read the thread. I dont see anything about whether it's better to have preworkout with grapejuice and post with coolaid or vice versa...

 

[Thaibox]

bilat, no offense my friend, but pay attention. Spatts answered this. Ditch the grapejuice and coolaid. Buy some dextrose or malto from protein factory, supplementsdirect.com, or a few other bulk powder places. You can get a ton of good carbs for dirt cheap. You save money, and get a better carb.

A little carb pre-workout and throughout(but not a lot) and a shitload immediately post workout.

 

[bilat]

I don't have money to spend on supplements except whey...

 

[spatts]

bilat, the matodex from protein factory is IN the whey...one cost.

Maltodex is cheaper than 100% grape juice some places.

In the time you spent bumping this thread you could've donated enough plasma to buy a year's worth of maltodex.
