Gatoraid?

[Mindwraith]

Yesterday I decided to try something different and drink gatoraid during my training. I normally just drink water. I noticed a vast improvement as far as the number of sets and reps I was able to do. Is there anything good or bad about this? I'm sure the carbs were giving me extra energy but is this recommended or not?

If your goin to go that route which is better than drinking plain water, then yet even better than Gatorade is Poweraid. IMO I notice a much better hydration than Gatorade and its not as sweet. I feel real good off of Poweraid. I'm a mild hypoglycemic so Gatorade really messes with my sugar.

I used to drink powerade during every workout...but then I would end up puking it up on event training day. Too much sugar. I switched to Pedialyte. Less sugary...

Pedialyte is the shit for rehydration. I used to drink that when i had the flue. Tastes like ass though. Never though of drinking that while training. I usually drink a formulated carb drink.
