Hi people,

Want to introduce a PWO shake with carbs to help recovery after a work out. At the moment I'm only having whey in water with l-glutaminem straight after I finish my work out. It's a little over 40g of protein.

I have Whey, and l-glutamine and water obviously lol. Do I add some dextrose to that then? I've also read Maltodextrin and WMS is good too. Is there a difference in anyway re the effects between them? i.e more likely to gain fat?

Can these be bought from MP?

Say I go for dextrose. How much do I need in a shake?(Same Q for the others too really)

I've read you should not go more then 50g of carbs post work out due to the insulin spike it causes which will increase the chances of fat gain due to the surge in insulin.

So how many g's of dextrose(or others) is 50g of carbs? < That sounds silly to me. Knowing my luck it's 50 and I look a tool lol.

No oats etc due to fibre slowing down absorption right?

Would rather go for a home made one then a packaged brand ready made one (Biotest was recommended but ££!!) so I can save some cash.

Thanks in advance guys,

Hi mate,

I'm cutting. I've been on really low carb and want to loose a bit more body fat before I start building mass. But I want to re-inrtoduce carbs slowly and at least reap some rewards from my weight sessions at the gym (with the understanding you body will utilize intake best for up to 3 hours after a workout)

Considering that, shall I order both then? Will one do?

If your still cutting just go for dex, Malto is mainly for bulking as far as i know.

a pretty good pwo drink is CNP Pro-Recover. It has the whey protein and simple carbs that you need after your workout. Also it does taste good!

^^^ Out of interest are you sponsored / associated with CNP ?

I always mix fruit with pwo shake.
A few guys here seem to disagree with this but it has always worked for me and alot of guys I know

no, im not sponsored by any supplement companies. Wish i was, itd make everything so much easier! lol

Just use cornflour nice or cheap, or as your cutting just take whey in the grand scheme of things it wont make too much difference providing you have a decent ppwo meal
