if you got nothing good to post, keep that shit to yourself.

Chill lean... check it out... if it were me, and I was cutting, I would not use dextrose post cardio. Your metabolism will remain high well after completing your cardio session and I would take advantage of it.

However, if you looking to gain mass and doing cardio for the sheer cardiovascular/healthy benefit, I don't see any reason dextrose would hurt anything.

I take in dex post-workout all the time, both cutting and bulking.

you need carbs first in order to prepare the muscles to absorb protein. Otherwise you just get fat.

insulin spike --> glucose uptake into adipose (fat) tissue. if you gotta take such a high-GI carb, which doesn't really make sense (bulking or not), then at least take some ALA with it.

Post workout not post cardio would seem best. Do cardio in the am. Workout in the evening and it right after workout.

I take it post-workout and post-cardio, but I don't take in near as much post-cardio because I don't feel my muscles need the replenishment the same way they would post workout.

when i refer to post cardio i mean on days that i'm not weight training but only doing a 30-40 minutes cardio session at around 60-80% mhr.

do you think you really need dextrose post such workout?

I only use about 75 g Post weight-training workout.

I don't think you would need it after 30 minutes of lower intensity cardio if you are trying to lean out.

I always take dextrose post workout. It doesnt matter if I am cutting or bulking.

You need to replace your glycogen stores after working out, cardio or not. You can NOT gain fat from taking dextrose post workout.

I average 75grams post workout but sometimes its 100grams. I mix it with 40-60 grams of protien, 5-10grams creatine, and 300mg of r-ALA.
