During the post-workout phase of training our bodies are in a hypoglycemic stage. Blood-sugar and insulin levels have drastically dropped. Immediately following exercise natural GH concentrations struggle to increase as insulin levels try to rebound from its current highly catabolic state.

A simple carbohydrate supplement combined with the post-workout window of opportunity will give immediate rise to blood glucose levels and cause a state of hyperglycemia. This will force a increase in the production of insulin! In other words simple carbohydrates will lay the smack down on cortisol production.

The newly increased quantity of insulin in the blood will drive much needed glucose (and amino acids) through the receptor sites in the muscle cell at an insane rate.

These elevated stages of blood glucose will begin causing further secretions of Growth Hormone, the key hormone responsible for producing Insulin Growth factor.

Why simple carbohydrates? Increased absorption rates, and an abruptly induced insulin burst. The faster you can get glucose into your bloodstream and muscles, the less protein destroyed and the more glycogen stored.

This is the one time of the day when you want to stay clear of complex carbs. Complex and fibrous carbs simply take way too long to digest and will not give optimal insulin release to offset muscle catabolism.

You also want to stay far away from any fat and fructose sources post-workout. Fructose will not replenish muscle glycogen but rather will replenish liver glycogen. Fat severely delays digestion because it metabolically requires so many more processes to break down.

Another vital key to post-workout nutrition is insulin sensitivity. Creating stronger insulin sensitivity is the primary way to get the most out of your post-workout simple carbohydrate intake.

Jacob covers how to do this in his 13 Weeks to Hardcore Fat Burning “The Diet” article. I highly recommend adhering to the list of ways to increase insulin sensitivity he describes in that article whether you are on a bulk or cut. It will make your insulin spike, via simple carbs, that much more potent.

Only certain types of simple carbohydrates will replenish muscle glycogen. These are carbohydrates in the form of glucose/dextrose.

The basis of our simple carbohydrates (post-workout) should come from sources that register high on the glycemic index. A range of 100-130 will work the best for our purposes. Dextrose or Maltodextrin are the two sources of simple carbs I recommend to ingest post-exercise.

sso post workout i could chomp on some glucose tabs and that would be to my best benifit?

I mix a little dextrose in with my wey protein post workout and in the morning. These are the two time that you're body has been depleted and needs a little jumpstart. I wouldn't suggest using it any other time though.
 
Dont waste your money, Dextose is one of the 5 sugars. that exist. Any form of simple sugar will do immediately following your workout. I personally use 100% welch's grape juice mixed with creatine for the insulin spike.

dextrose is cheap 2$/kg. welches 100% grape juice is expensive.

it is not true that any form of simple sugar will do Fructose is quite poor at restoring muscle glycogen.
Sucrose is 50d/50f dextrose/fructose
HFCS is 20d/80f or 10d/80f
fructose is of course 100f

excess fructose, above what is needed to be stored as liver glycogen, is easily stored as fat (even without the presence of insulin).

as a further note- fructose over feeding is what is used to induce diabetes in animals.

so the statement "any simple sugar will do" is not a helpful reccomendation.
 
hey mac,
i know we spke of this before, but adding how much dextrose to my pro complex post work out will be suffice?? i'm @ 180lbs. 5'10" around 13-15% bf. also does the dex make it unbearably sweet?? i have been just drinking my pwo 10-12 ounces of cold water w/ 2 scoopd pf pro complex, nothing elses added.

This isn't true! Dextrose is much better at quickly restoring glucose levels and spiking insulin than say table sugar. Plus dextrose isn't expensive anyway.

80 g dex 40 g protein

It is not super sweet and actually makes the protein taste pretty good

I get mine @ www.supplementdirect.com 11lb for $10
 
thanx axe, "you must spread k before giving to axe again"

i'll get you later!!
 
you shit out simple sugars. So you will shit out what ever you take with it. I would not drink grape juice let alone take any supplements with it.
Pure Vitargo is the best out there. At last check at least 5 of the top 10 guys at the Olympia use it...
I will follow their lead.
As for personal results. I started using it 2 weeks ago. I'm up 10lbs. These results are probably not the norm. I am usually very low carb. I upped the post workout carbs with the Vitargo and wham.. 10lbs!

*I'm clean too BTW.

clean as in not using gear? Nice fkn work man! Where is Vitargo sold? that good advice

You can google search for it...

or

You can get it at www.artatwood.com

*I am using "adenergy" with it. I just started NO XPLODE yesterday. I am hoping to push my way to 245 clean.
**If I can hit 245 I might think about AAS again. 260 ripped would be sick!
