I believe the dextrose is supposed to drive the protein into your muscles? I would have thought only after weights, but I don't see why not after cardio?

Just had a bit of a read and unless you're not doing cardio for fat loss, the dexrose slows down fat burning because it has to burn off the dextrose before it burns off the fat

Interesting and good to know!

Yep my PT is always telling me 'pull your core in towards your spine' and scared me today by telling me if I didn't keep a curve in my back when doing squats I would pop a disc!!!! scary! If you have a strong core it helps lift stuff that's for sure.

Yeah, it must have been the extra carbs

Speaking of which - pre workout supplements

can anyone recommend some decent ones?

[gazza]

are you looking for something to give you a bit of a kick? i've only tried two products PVL nox stac and SAN fierce. found that they both delivered san fierce seemed to work a bit better but my food etc was better as well. alot of the guys seen to like superpump, what aboy thermo's. don't know much about these but your goal seems to be fat loss and they do stimulate you?

the gym i train at is selling tubes of MORPH with 30g of protein added, couple of guys said it was ok.

I'm trying to gain lbm, I'm getting my bodyfat tested again on friday - for me it's just getting it to a level that i'm happy with rather than just continously trying to lose fat. I wouldn't take thermos unless i was cutting hard for a comp and it seems you can't get them here in nz anyway :evil:

I just pop back a couple of caffiene pills. Gets me all excited and jittery for my workouts. :shock:

Haha, i don't like the caffeine jitters

I took some Hydroxycut ages ago and it turned me into some kinda of woman beast that cried and had panic attacks about it raining outside and silly stuff like that

[GreekAdonis]

Haha fair enough!

You could always fire up the glass barbie... :shifty:

You're eating gluten-free aye? Is that because of an intolerance or another reason? If intolerance, how do you find the casein? I'm interested to hear because I read that gluten and casein intolerances often occur together, something about a sensitivity to opioid-like peptides, and/or the release of histamine both cause.

It was quite an interesting article.

(But then you can't believe everything you read).

Nope i'm not intollerant to it, I just choose to eat gluten and dairy free as much as i can because they are classed as pro-inflammatory foods. I've got polyarticular idiopathic juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (whatever that means) so I steer clear of these foods along with potatoes, capsicum, eggplant (veges and plants from the nightshade family). My arthritis has been loads better since i've started eating like this cause the last thing i want to affect my training is swollen joints
