do you take dextose to lift?

[Eseloim]

I was talking to a buddy of mine and he says he mixes dextrose in his post-workout Shake
he says the reason he does that is it’s good to restore glycogen in in the muscles and help them grow
do you think this would be a good idea for me to mix in and if so where do I get dextrose from the you just buy it online in powder form and add it?

No. You'll have had food before too

more idiotic bro science

a 'buddy at the gym' is not the person to consult with on nutrition advice

no creature on earth needs dextrose after exercise. does your cat come inside after hunting all night and run to you for dextrose? NO. did your ancestors run to the noble after a battle and ask for dextrose ? no.. did the T Rex after killing a huge dinosaur run back to his forest and drink dextrose? NO.

dex is sold as a supplement for those who are slamming insulin post workout. THAT IS IT. you have to have major bigorexia problems to even consider it necessary and the same goes for ANY sort of powder

you are the best spending your money on herbals they at least are found in nature and have benefits

not normally

is your buddy a pro or overweight?

bro i eat steak after a workout. that's what real men do

 

[JasonPriest]

some professionals will add it to their protein powder post workout with insulin

 

[Monstro]

when i am slamming insulin i might add a little just in case
but i don't need it with simple carbs

 

[Vadim Fedorov]

protein and some raw honey works just as good
