Maltodextrin/Dextrose

[Paul]

I have always been told to have the shake 30 mins before working out that way your muscles are using the protein source straight away.Then eat within 45 of trainning for me thats normally dinner anyway chicken breast etc .

Alright...

A question here, 80-100 grams whey post workout? Is that not overkill? Surely 50 will be ok?

To paraphrase ...."if you take any more than 30-50g whey PWO all you will get is FAT"

My brain is not able to distinguish sarcasm after just waking up... but I don't see how an extra 50 grams of whey will make you fat. I'm, just wondering whether it will end up passing through your system.

excess protein that cant be used gets stored just like anything else .

I'm a firm believer in the importance of a good post-workout meal. When I improved what I was eating post-workout, my progress picked up enormously. I'm not talking instant size explosion here, but I would equate it to adding another meal into the diet.

Having said that, 100g whey, 100g maltodextrin, and 3 cups of water does seem a bit like overkill! Obviously it's all relative to your size, I guess, but surely most people only need half that! :shock:

Yeah maybe so but it just helps me get in all the protien i need for the day. I am no nutritional expert but on the matter with protien usage i beleive that its better to get more then not enough. Haha just something that i have gotten usd to over the last 8 months. I dread to say this but this is what some of my bodybuilding buddys use after there workouts......

i dont think its an overkill anywhere from 60-100 is ideal mixed with the other goodies really does work try it for a month you have nothing to lose but maybe a few kilos to gain.

In the toilet according to my friendly supplement store owner

I'd rather take too much protein in than too little. Who's to say what's too much anyway.

Who's to say? Scientific studies, lol.

Here's a good site that goes into detail with PWO nutrition:

You sound like a PT from Les Mills. :grin:

Scientific studies are just that. You have to find what works for you.

[Paul]

What happens to the protein:

* It is broken down into building blocks known as peptides.

* Then, it is further broken down and it becomes amino acids.

* The amino acids are absorbed through the small intestine's lining and enter the blood stream.

* From here, some of the amino acids build the body's protein stores.

* Excess amino acids are converted to fats and sugars and follow the paths described above.

Haha, I'm just 40kg too heavy to be hired by them and far from pretty enough.

Hell even that muscletech site said .4g/kg for protein post workout. That works out at 40g for a 100kg guy. I come out as needing a little over 50g. I'm just saying its a complete waste to use 80-100g. Protein is a far less efficient in getting your blood sugar levels up post workout, so any excess is simply wasted. But hey, to each his own.

Blah, try the powerlifters PWO shake, half a bottle of jack daniels and 2 pies :pfft:

[Dyceast]

I went to check some of this stuff today, and found Bretec Liquid Brewing Sugar.

Is this the kinda stuff you get?

Per 100g = 80.5g carbs (44g Dextrose and Maltose)
