Hey, I'm 165lb, and I'm currently not trying to bulk nor cut, stay at 165 for now. I just got my shipment of dextrose today and am planning on incorporating it into my next PWO shake tomorrow.

My question: What should my ratio be c/p? 1:1? usually I have 24/48g protein and water. So I was thinking 24g carbs (so I think 7.50 tsp), 24g pro, and water. How does that sound?

Agreed with the 2:1 suggestion

Hehe I asked this recently.

I try to have it just under 2:1, my mix is probably 1.75:1

because the drink can get 'too' sweet lol

Hence, maltodextrin is a great solution as well Not nearly as sweet as dextrose.

I do 2:1 as well, and it tastes great, and has been working perfectly with my goals. It's an awesome treat after every workout.

It's kinda funny when friends say "Why the hell do you have sugar after your workout? Doesn't that like defeat the purpose??"

I'll enjoy my sugar damnit!!!

2:1 for me regardless of what my goal is.

Generally, I've always read a 2:1 but I thought that was for those who were bulking. I didn't want to be adding weight because I have to keep 165 for my May 19th comp. I used a 2:1 Tuesday, and will continue that from now on. Thx everyone

BTW, 2:1 isn't that sweet, pffft lol

What competition is that Merciless?

Powerlifting. I had my first one March 24th, '07. Second and final of the year is the 19th.

Wow, that's pretty awesome for someone at 16 - same age as me. I see you're into wrestling as well, I'm planning on starting this coming up season as well as picking up boxing, any tips?

Haha, no way! I'm planning on doing boxing this summer as well.

For wrestling: weights, endurance, and technique. Alot of weight lifting. I'm sure you already do alot, but you can have the best technique in the world, but if you don't have the strength to do the moves, you're screwed. Legs and back (pull muscle) would prob be the main things, but VERY close would be well, everything else. You need every muscle in your body for wrestling. Make sure every muscle is getting it's share of work.

Endurance. You need to go balls to the wall for 6 minutes. They say 3 rounds of 2 minutes but that's bull because it's not like you get a break, you go RIGHT back into action. I would say get your running up the best you can. I'm going to see if I can either get permission/sneak into a HS like a mile away from me to use their track.

Wrestling is a winter sport, so I suggest you get to a camp this summer. At least get the basics down. Stance, shots, reverses, pins, point system, etc.

I can't wait for the summer, hopefully I'll get enough money so I can do boxing!! PM me with any questions, I'd be happy to help =]

Wow, sounds pretty brutal. Can't wait for it man, thanks for the tips - I think that I am going to end up working with my teacher for a lot, he has been wrestling for something like 12 years and has a lot of experience. But boxing's been a long time coming for me, I wanna get out there and actually start now.

What other hobbies you into Merciless?

You name it man, I'm into everything under the sun.

I love music, play guitar, write alot, draw alot, I own at pool, poker with friends, biking, paintballing, basketball, hang with friends alot. A lot I can't think of atm lol but you name it, I prob either do it, or want to

What kind of music you into? Pool and poker I own at Also ping pongs pretty sweet, I got into paintballing a bit and want to get into it more, have an auto****er just sittin around... I see you're into shot put, I was going to get into track and field stuff, but nobody I knew was with me in it and I eventually didn't go.
