Dextrose Postworkout?

[Isaac79]

I've read many different ideas on how many grams to consume postworkout, anyone have a site or article that has some more info on it. I've seen a range from 25 grams to 100 grams. I take 2 scoops of ON 100 % Whey, but I'm guessing on the dextrose, is body weight a factor, I'm not on any gear or anything BTW. Karma for any help.

I use Aftermax, It has 40 dextrose and 40 protien and 5 creatine. Its great. Many guys reccomend 2 dextrose for every protein, but i do not like that, as i am carbophobic. I think that is for a bulking diet, which I will never do again in my life.

opinion varies on this, and the amount needed depends on the individual.

most shoot for 50 - 100g.

My dextrose intake depends on whether I'm cutting or bulking.

try different amounts and see what works for you. in fact only minimal amount of insulin is necessary to blunt cortisol and shuttle aminos (best be petides/hydrolysate whey, otherwise looking at premature spike). As for replenishing glycogen stores I'd rather consume low GI carbs an hour later if I consume carbs at all

I just add 50g and it seems to recover me pretty well. 5'9 165-170, 7% bf
