Sure we can merge logs, that will work.
I tried a packet of dextrose in water after I worked out Tuesday and I didn’t feel as sore, yesterday I lifted and did not have dextrose and am now a little bit sore. Seems like a simple sugar is good to add to the body after working out, I have read that it also aids in absorption of proteins as well. Are you familiar with this?
Dextrose and glutamine immediately following your workout will help with recovery and make for a great anabolic environment. Anytime you can take advantage of glycogen shuttle do it. The first 5 hours after training is when you should consume almost all your carbs for the day.
Just focus on the quality of the workout. Getting sore or not has no bearing on how effective it was. You can have a great workout and not be sore at all after.
