Question on SwoleV2

[Sir Foxx]

I don't see any need to add dextrose before the workout. It's after the workout that you need to restore glycogen.

Hey S.Foxx, i'm confused. Some other guy said to add the dextrose before your w/o w/ a protein shake to get really good pumps. So are you saying it would be a waste of time to take the dextrose w/ the shake before my w/o? Just trying to understand the mechanics. Do you know anything about swole v2 and the ingredients in it, like if there's any form of sugar? Then i wouldn't need any added sugar to my protein shake beforehand.
thanks, annie

 

[Sir Foxx]

There is no sugar in Swole V.2, it works thru different mechanisms. Rely on that for your pump. I have a high opinion of Swole V.2. Forget dextrose w/protein before the workout, just use it post-workout. Its purpose is to restore muscle glycogen that you used up during the workout.

Thanks a bunch for all your advice. Do you think i should try dextrose w/ my protein and food i eat p/o or just rely on regular complex carbs like sweet pot. or brown rice, etc. like i've usually been doing? Do you know of dextrose working well for women that you've heard in the bb circle? I've never taken it so i'm concerned about storing extra fat in places that its not wanted.
Sorry to be a pest,
annie
p.s. If yes to dextrose, how do i measure 25 gr.? That's probably how much i would start out w/
Thanks!

Dextrose isn't necessary with the other carbs that you are taking. Some will argue that it works better, but there aren't any studies backing that claim up. Glad to help.

 

[annielovesBB]

Thanx guy. I appreciate you taking time to answer my questions. I'll skip the dextrose and just have complex carbs after my w/o. Is that what you do? Do you take any dextrose at all? Do you take creatine? I'm trying to ask other bb's what they do and what works.
Thanks again,
annie

 

[Sir Foxx]

I don't take dextrose, usually just oatmeal mixed in with my protein. I alternate between regular creatine mono., swole v.2, and satur8.

Thanks S. Foxx. Do you take any dextrose post w/o?
If not, what type of foods do you eat?
