| | Haha you wish
It's best to take some dextrose post workout (30G or so).
It makes sure that your proteine's are absorbed better by your body, and it tastes really really really good |

| | No problem, wg. Xenth: 2 TBS (36g carbohydrates) during and 2TBS after. Best taken with about half as much protein, from what I've read...just to keep it simple, mine ends up being 23g protein:38g carb, 'cause that's a scoop of ON whey and 2 TBS of dextrose. That's as close to 20g protein:40g carb as I can be bothered to get to.  Works out to a 1.65:1 carb  rotein ratio instead of the 2:1 I'd like, ideally. |

Or you could just buy straight glucose. |  | | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | | | Display Modes | Rate This Thread | Linear Mode | |
