ok but is post workout After a work out ? i am pretty sure it is and pre workout is before one but i am not so sure and Why is dextrose good for post work out and what does it do ?
A link would be great if your not intrested in explaining
Some carbs ( like dextrose ) have really high GI scores. High GI scores means that these carbs get into your bloodstream really quickly and trigger a high insulin response ( spike ).
You want an insulin response ( spike ) after a workout because insulin not only optimizes your body's ability to get glucose into your muscles ( to replenish them ) , but it also optimizes your body's ability to get protein / amino acids into your muscles as well.
If you want to learn more about " The Importance of Post Workout Nutrition " , this article by John Berardi may be of help.........
Isn't creatine over-hyped? I mean studies suggest that the gain is simply due to greater water retention inside the muscle cells. In fact I think the French have banned creatine use.
