PWO Drink - UK-Muscle Body Building Community

Kevster · 26-11-2006, 02:26 PM

Alright chaps, just a quick question. My training partners for their PWO drink, have a glass of coke (simple sugars to replenish glycogen stores) and then shortly after have a protein drink. I think it sounds quite good, what do you guys think?

Thanks

coke isn't ideal because the sugars in it (i believe mainly sucrose) aren't ideal PWO.

if you are looking for high GI PWO, go for something pure like maltodextrin or glucose.

i have 75grams glucose, 50 grams whey

if nothing else is readily available @ the time then yes its ok but coke is sh*t really mate. i like whey protein & a mixture of high & low GI carbs PWO

In one of his more recent training videos, he mentions he stopped drinking coke pwo.

I used to take Dextrose + Maltodextrin + Whey concentrate.

For the past 2 weeks I've switched to Vitargo and Whey Isolate.

It doesn't fill me up as much, even though the macronutrients are the same as the previous shake, but now I can have my solid meal quicker.

I must be old....

Pretty much, you are insulin sensitive after a workout.
When you are young..............Like you chaps...........
You can get away with the faster acting stuff..........

But if you eat guys, you will grow....
Whole foods are awesome.......

Sure you can do the fast acting stuff, but..........It is compromised nutrition.
Probably unless you are using insulin....

Why not sweet potato?
Brown Rice?
Oat's?

I think the PWO fast acting carb thing is a myth.

Whole foods is best......

I know a guy who drinks Lucozade post-workout. He's a former Mr. Wales so it hasn't done him any harm.

DB · 30-11-2006, 11:23 AM

yeah i have ditched fast carbs like dex now...

i have 40g vitargo 50g oats with 40g whey 20g casien post workout...

works much better imo and i can eat solid meals faster as i dont get te sick feeling i use to get from dex

its even fine with insulin as the vitargo is pretty quick

**hackskii** · 30-11-2006, 06:27 PM

I never liked the idea of fast simple carbs in the first place.
Never did.

Hmm Hackski mentioned this stuff Vitargo too, looks like a simple carb to me though lol!

http://www.vitargo.com/Engelsk/Vitar...rodukt_eng.htm

I was gonna swap my Dex for Waxy maize starch from mY protein http://www.myprotein.co.uk/bulk-powd...y-maize-starch , its claims are identical to those on the Vitargo website, osmality, absorption 70% better etc

Have you tried both DB? Where do you get your Vitargo from?

Cheers

SportDr · 30-11-2006, 06:45 PM

Lol just looked on Bulk Nutrition, turns out Vitargo IS Waxy Maize Starch, no wonder the claims were the same.

Sorry to sound stupid but is there a BIG diff between dextrose and maltodextrin?
I have dextrose atm and thought they were similar?
