Think I'm taking in to much dextrose post workout?

[emptywallet]

One more thing, I totally realize that 75g of protein post workout is overkill, but its strange, any other time during the day, lets say I eat a ton of chicken, or have a myoplex deluxe or something, I rip ass like no tomorrow, BUT after my post workout shake, no farts no nothing for the rest of the day. I couldnt possibly be utilizing all of it could I?

This is the formulas to follow! If bulking I would shoot for 1g/kg of bodyweight. But the above is what I'm following right now- and cutting!

OK what about creatine dosage, i'm getting some Pro Lab, how much should i add? (i'm cutting)
Also, what are "high GI carbs"???

Ok what about if your cutting, should there be a different dosage or will this .8g dextrose/kg work?
Also, what are "high GI carbs"???

High "GI" carbs are known as high glycemic wise. Or they are high on the glycemic index. Meaning they promote alot insulin spike when ingested. Commonly simple carbs have these traits. However there are some complex carbs that do, maltodextrin for example is one. It has a GI rating of around 100 or so, but its complex, so you have to watch for that. Post workout most people ingest high amounts of high GI carbs to spike their insulin. Now however there is an insulin index as well. Some research is finding that foods low on the glycemic index still promote heavy insulin spikes. go to www.glycemicindex.com or search around on google for a good scale to look at when eating foods.

ok so this is whats happening
When you workout your muscle glycogen gets very depleted. You go home and whip up a shake with .4g protien/kg, .8g dextrose/kg, and creatine. Your body reacts to the dextrose by creating an insulin spike which inturn helps deliver the creatine and protien to your muscles. The creatine helps your muscles hold more protien, and water of course.
That about right?

That pretty much sums it up I think.
