Shake During Workout suggestions

[moosecles]

hey , i was just wondering about inworkout shakes lately. Many people have told me there awsome, and give you great pumps and energy boosts. Recently i read an article by milos ( this months flex) i think , that suggetsed 15g whey , 60g dextorse, but highly diluted so u dont experience gastroinestinal discumfort. Then after your workout have a 50g whey , 50g dextrose shake, 1 hour later solid food. A resectible natural bodybuilder told me he takes 30g whey, 40g dextrose during his workout, 1 hour later has the solid food, steak / potaotes, or steak / pasta whatever, not having that second shake. Now which of those 2 would you guys prefer and why?

any feedback is really appreciated.
thanks

I usually by the pre-made designer whey 40 grams/bottles by the case and drink one through each workout, mixing in water also. good fruit flavors and not sugar.

Its important to start replenishing protien ASAP from an intense work out just lik H20

I always have a shake before and after training! Pre-cycle is a slow digesting protien and post training is WPI for fast absorbtion!

I just drink water during my session. I eat 100g rice and 50g protein 1 hour-1½ before the session and take 30g Whey with 30g Dextrosol post workout ansd 1-1½ after that I eat another meal with 80g carbs, 60g protein.

I drink a pre, during, & postworkout shake. During just 32oz of water with 1-2 scoops protein only.

I drink a pre-workout shake 1 hr before training and a post-workout shake asap after training; during training I will drink water and sometimes (in addition to the water) coffee.

I use fast-acting protein in both shakes as I believe that the body best responds to pulse feeding; also, it is available faster, it's profile is better, and my time from ingestion of pre-workout shake to post-workout shake is 3 hrs or less.

Based on studies done on Olympic gymnasts recuperation needs (specific to carbs and protein), I use a post-workout formula that provides .4 gr protein and .8 gr carbs per kg of body weight. The carbs are in the form of maltodextrose, which edges out dextrose in terms of performance by about 15% (really, either is fine though -- I've used both).

From what I've read, a pre-workout shake is supposed to be about the same formulation -- however, I'm too chicken to take in all those carbs, so I usually adjust the carbs downward on pre-workout to about .4 gr/kg and keep the protein at the same level.
