[dizdabiz]

Im going to be on a bulk soon and was thinking of 60g protein/100gram carbs in my own shake would like to find out your opinions on the best and how much carbs&protein you put in your shake. cheers!

personally i only use slow digesting carbs, even post workout. ive noticed tremendous leaning out effect since ive switched to slow digesting low glycemic carbs. i use simply oatmeal =)

I like to use 15g BCAA, 60g WMS, and 15g of SuperCarb. A mix of high and low GI carbs along with BCAAs to kickstart protein synthesis.

I like to use a mix of WMS, maltodextrin and dextrose

yeah i used to use oatmeal,but it kept me too full as its slow digesting,but i was assuming that the quickest digesting carb would be better? especially as id want my stomach as empty as it could be so i could eat a monster post workout meal.

I saw the most gains while on sweet potatoes pre & post.

I can't really comment on how each is supposed to work scientifically. I can say that WMS gave me the least amount of upset stomach though. Dextrose seemd to be the worst. I'm doing like 50% WMS, 25% dextrose, 25% malto b/c I happen to have all 3 right now. If I had to just pick one, I pick WMS.

wms is bomb

If I'm doing carbs post-wo I do oats.

Been putting slow cooked oats in my pwo shakes for years with great results..

I usually go with WMS. Oats are good as well and taste good in PWO shakes.
