how many grams of dextrose (from pixie sticks) should i take in my post w/o shake?

[derekmac]

25-50 g dextrose or maltodextrin.

[Bignbuff]

40 grams should do.

[Grrrr]

I use 40. Combined with 2 scoops ON Whey, the stuff tastes like sugary chocolate milk.

[shwaym]

If u can afford it,

Doesnt it work fine just to drink grape juice, or are there better sources?

grape juice has a higher glucose to fructose ratio so yes its ideal.

What would be best to take dextrose with post? Past couple days I've been adding 25 g dextrose to small bit of juice, right after same thing with 5g creatine. Then I take my shake. I take the dextrose first to raise insulin levels so the creatine and protein is absorbed better. ( If what I read was understood correctly.) Is the juice alright? Usually I wouldn't make a deal of it but I've been hittin it twice a day for a week now, and I'd rather get every benifet from what I'm doing.

I usually take a scoop of whey and casein with Willy Wonka Bottlecaps Candy (1 pack will give you 40 grams of carbs).

Why did you feel the need to bump a 9 year old thread?

That depends. What exactly are you consuming between each rep when lifting? Also, how many times do you awake at night to drink your protein shakes?

P.S. 2003 sends regards.

I have a theory. He fell asleep with his browser opened. The sleep was sound and long. Upon his "awakening", he just replied to the thread that he had been reading prior to his nap, failing to notice the rust on his keyboard.

Pretty old thread here, my friend.

And you do not need to consume Pixy Stix post-workout.
