I have a question on PWO carbs. I see the not eon consuming dextrose and maltodextrin but where are these found practically?
Would fructose work also? 500ml of fruit juice woudl supply by 0.8grms per kilo. This would be easier to find and consume for me.

leeston

can someone help here please. i know a few guys who have two drinks after they have trained. They seperate the carbs and have those first, then a shower and then the protien in a second drink (about 15 mins later).

is there any credit in doing it this way or is just complicating the issue?

Fructose would refill glycogen stores in the liver first, so that would probably not be my first choice in carbs.
Dextrose can be found in grapejuice and in honey, but I would not buy that from concintrate as this is mostly high fructose corn sweatener.

I would add some protein in that as it helps in spiking. So, grapejuice, protein and creatine would be just fine.

Lee,that protocol is generally applied to WMS due to the absorption rate theory,however,i do know guys who also do it with other carb sources.

It's all part of the greatly overhyped PWO argument that will continue to rage.
If you consume 6 - 8 meals on a daily basis utilising carbs and fats appropriately then you will have your bases covered as you will have a constant supply of nutrients in the system to be utilised.

So,imho,as long as you are getting the adequate nutrition for your individual goal/needs it will make little difference which route you take PWO

nice little read

recc

interesting article.

got a question though they dont mention wms as a pwo carb i dont think...
Ive got a delivery today of wms and maltodextrin, i understand them to be very similar so there may not be any real effect of having one over the other but in that case ive got double the supply so no loss...

But i was wanting a carb pre workout for energy then one after with whey and creatine. just wondering if one would benefit over the other in these scenarios? or just a 50/50 blend would be fine?

Pscarb

well WMS is pretty new so this is probably why it is not mentioned.
WMS clears faster than Malto so i would use WMS PWO but i would use Oats PreWO as the energy release is slower so no spike or fall in insulin levels..
