Poll: what PWO carb do you use

[Sim882]

OK - this is pretty simple, for your PWO carbs, what types of carbs do you consume

(1) Waxy Maize
(2) Dex/glucose
(3) Maltodextrin
(4) Whole foods but sugars (bananas, milk, fruit, honey etc)
(5) whole foods but starches (oats, potatoes, bread etc)
(6) Combo of dex and maltodextrin

 

[Sim882]

Currently using mainly starches (quick oats, with some milk), but about to buy some WM

dex

 

[Sim882]

WMS (waxy maize starch, derived from corn) is a long-chain, complex, super-high molecular weight, sugar-free carbohydrate. The high molecular weight produces a solution with high osmality that passes through the digestive system much faster than any other carbohydrate source and it the process rapidly pulls nutrients and protein to your muscles were they are needed the most.

In Australia, it can be bought for the equivalent of $6 US per kilo, and given it's like 80+% carb, that means it not really dearer than breakfast cereals.

I'm about to try it.

The Guardian swore by it, recommending everyone to take WMS, then 20 minutes later whey

wm is the only pw carb i've ever used, after an intense bout of HIIT cardio, I get massive headaches and as soon as the wm hits my stomach I begin to feel better

Combo of plain oatmeal and banana.

Heard a lot of good things about WM, though

 

[Dastrn]

my PWO shake has a banana, milk, and sometimes a scoop of ice cream.

60g Waxy Maize

 

[enacer420nj]

8-10oz natural grape juice....better for you than dex IMO....also drink 1scoop ISOpure zero carb vanilla and 1 scoop ON pro complex chocolate

 

[iggy]

so can you get wm from walmart or sams club? or do you have to go to some health store?

 

[Powerbuilder333]

Cranberry grape juice mixed with 1 scoop Mass Fuel, 25gr Whey, and Metamucil.

[crulexis]

wow this Waxy Maize seems promising how come I never heard of it

 

[Colbycheez]

I got some Monster Amino made by Cytosport. It has 30g WM per serving as well as BCAAs -5g. The fruit punch is amazing

I mix WMS with my WPI about 30 mins after I train and most of the time a banana with it also
