I am using Dextrose (75g) and it has helped me. I feel a lot stonger during my workouts. I just mix the Dextrose with water, soy protein, whey protein, creatine, glutamine and Arginine and Taurin and it is working ok for me.

is that 75 g of carbs preworkout? where do you get dextrose from? any particular reason you chose dextrose over malto or the other ones? also, is whole wheat bread a good source of preworkout carbs? thanks a lot, appreciate the help.

Mikey, I would advise trying several different types, high, moderate and low glycemic index, and see which type gives you the most energy. Also note how fast you go back into ketosis after you finish your workout on different carbs. It is going to vary from person to person. I personally do best on very low GI carbs, plain yogart, oatmeal mixed with nat peanut butter, but other people do great on high gi sugars.

I bought the Dextrose from here:

Here they sell the malto as complex carbs. I thought that those are better for when you are bulking. Dextrose is cheap and like I said I fell a lot of energy during my workouts.
