Carb powders

[Diesel86 249]

Anyone on here use carb powders pre workout and if so what are your thoughts?

The past while I've been using karbolyn fuel by all American efx really liking it def get alot out of it.

Nearly finished the tub so thought Id give cyclic dextric a try from this brand applied nutrition.

My gym sells it for £15 so thought may as well give it ago.

Wouldn't take dextrose pre because of the crash after so powders like this are great 30 minutes to and hour before.

Id always eat a big enough meal about 2 3 before I train so Obviously this is just a supplement to make training more interesting and train harder.

I used to use Dorian Yates Dextrin which worked great for workout energy and pumps!

Did you ever use the original DY pre-workout powder? I'm convinced it was mostly crystal meth.

High carbs throughout the day, including fine ground oats and dextrose in the afternoon. 
A banana one hour before gym  A can of full fat coke on my way to the gym. 
 

This seems to give me enough energy to train after a hard days plastering, Bud

Do you remember the old Jacked 3d before it got banned? I used a full tub of it before and my sleep was s**t the time whole using it.

DMAA was the culprit.

Strong stuff think some users had heart attacks from using it.

Nice one bro

Do you find that after taking dextrose you get a crash after?

I use dextrose post workout and feel great after,  but if I took it and didn't train I'd feel sluggish.

[invisiblekid 1333]

Carbs wise, I use ground oats and maltodextrin. Maltodextrin is a life saver for me when trying to get past 400g of carbs per day

I can crash. I avoid it buy keeping the simple carbs frequent enough, right up to my post wo shake. Then dinner has to follow within an hour or I’m shaking like a leaf.

Spot on Bud. I take a shaker into work, 150g ground oats and 50g dextrose. I drink half with food at 10, then the other half with food at 1. I can easily hit 4200 cals a day.

Thats a good way to do it mate if that works for you, I learned my lesson to not take dextrose pre, took some before a squat session and felt like crap on my third set where normally id be feeling energised and ready to go.

I think it has a lot to do with my physical job, Buddy. On a non work day I wouldn’t take dextrose, just my banana and full fat coke.

I Used to do bricklaying years ago and knew a few plasterers, doing a trade as well as lifting needs alot of calories for sure.

Def is a physical job 

Are you getting much work now mate with this lockdown in place?

Still got half a box to get through. Never use a full sachet though - well not after the first time when I thought my head was going to explode and I had to abandon my workout to go and be sick. A small scoop is plenty. 

[elliot438 21]

Been using Maltodextrin as an intra recently. Never used to get anything out of this type of thing when I was younger but now definitely help. I know Malto isn't ideal but it's super cheap and doesn't upset my stomach so works for me, also use EAA when I can find a good deal and some electrolyte powder

Iv used it. Just like any other pre workout to me. Im very tolerant to pre workouts and have to have double the ammount. Iv had 2 packets of that DY stuff in one go and just about felt something from it. It was years ago aswell would sometimes get them free from a supplement shop if I was spending 

[Jackoffblades 881]

I don’t think you’ll get any Benefit from maltrodextrin than you would with say fruit. Iv used it and didn’t change any of my workouts or I didn’t feel like I had loads of energy. Infact I get more energy if I had banana and milkshake. Peanut butter on toast is a good pre workout because it gets rid of hunger and is quick and easy to eat
