What's you bf%? I'v never heard anyone taking that much pwo.ive been doing 1/2 cup dextrose after workouts and 60 g protien think
this is enough dextrose ?thanks
even for a complete monster, i would say thats an excess of both protein and carbs bro. Im a leaner fella, taking in 50g carbs and 30-35g protein, w/ a follow up whole meal an hour after. (equal amount of carbs/protein approx)125 grams of protein, 50 grams Dex, 10 grams Micro Creatine with 20 oz grape juice for my post shake. Also 2 bananas and 2 potatoes, 10 units Slin...
IMO that's too much of everything especially with the added juice, bananas and taters. You're going to be pissing most of that protein and creatine away.125 grams of protein, 50 grams Dex, 10 grams Micro Creatine with 20 oz grape juice for my post shake.

1/2 cup is 75 grams, yes. Dextrose does work great for many people, but as w/anything you have to experiment w/it. Bobo and I debated the use of dextrose like mad, and determined it's an individual thing. All my clients use it, and well, look at them!

thats great bro,what was your pwo before ?And I am one of them.........I started in Jan. this year at 196lbs at 15.3% BF and for PWO I use around 85g of dextrose with my whey protein, and 11 weeks later I am at 185lbs and 9.5% BF, now tell me that taking in 85g of dextrose PWO doesn't work and makes you fat???
also fructose pw isnt the ideal carb source. how long have you been using this mix and how has your results been?IMO that's too much of everything especially with the added juice, bananas and taters. You're going to be pissing most of that protein and creatine away.
Either way, its working, and it works for me, I am human and I am getting alot stronger eating alot of pw carbs.IMO that's too much of everything especially with the added juice, bananas and taters. You're going to be pissing most of that protein and creatine away.

Amazingly I've many "older" gentlemen (few ladies too, a very good powerlifter as well) who are 40+ doing this, will no ill affects. Does it mean I'm right and you are wrong, or vice versa? No, not really, but it is quite interesting. (G4E is over the 25-30 age bracket, I won't mention his age, but he has no ill affects either)
I suppose I'm just lucky, and have acquired biz from only people with sterling insulin responses. I've told Bobo I'd look into experimenting w/a client, and that has begun already to one who volunteered to try it, so we'll see how this other method plays out. Definitely not going to change my protocol in the programs I construct, not with the success rate as such. However, for purposes of saying it was given a chance and tried as a method, I'll test it.

More fat storage with Low GI? Umm....yeah ok....
I agree wholeheartedly, I never made any real gains till I worked with Swolecat, he totally changed the way I ate, and the main difference was my two HIGH carb PWO meals and yes they are high GI, real world results is what I am after not some bullshit study. Studies don't make me grow, but Swolecats knowledge did.

Yeah I'm sure it was only the High GI that made the difference.I agree wholeheartedly, I never made any real gains till I worked with Swolecat, he totally changed the way I ate, and the main difference was my two HIGH carb PWO meals and yes they are high GI, real world results is what I am after not some bullshit study.

Actually, corn sugar is dextrose. You should be able to find both maltodextrin & dextrose at any brewing supply place though.in regards to getting maltodextrin cheap, try a brewing supply store.
they sell maltodextrin for brewing stuff. they also call it "corn sugar".
cheap.
another good place for cheap nutritional supplies are tack stores (stores that cater to horse owners).
although i have never seen maltodextrin at my local tack store.
Wrong again.As per a very intelligent trainer on this subject:
"Science versus Practice. Science will tell you things shouldn't work but they do in Practice. Just because a study says blah...blah...doesn't mean **** unless the context is the EXACT same.

I didn't know negativity equated to members asking you to explain yourself and not blindly accepting what you say. If thats what you want, don't let the door hit you on the way out....I'm done here anyhow, nothing going on here but negativity and I hate that ****, it's catabolic.
