Simple sugars after workout????? wtf

[arsoniq26]

OK IM GONNA START BY SAYING I KNOW LITTLE ABOUT ROIDS.

Ok, this guy I know, who just got done with a cycle, claims its good to drink a soda after working out to help his 'insulin level' and repair muscle fibers.

His exact words are -- "An insulin spike after a workout helps to quickly repair torn muscle fibers."

 

[chefbone]

That's false. It replenishes your glycogen levels when taken with some protein!

 

[arsoniq26]

EDIT: he takes it with a light meal/shake. still, does it help or hurt him?

About 70 grams of Dextrose and 50 grams of Whey is perfect after a work-out...(Actually, I have read that Cutler will have a Coke and Whey Protein after training) one hour later it a complex carb and low fat protein meal.

No, he is not hurting himself.

i prefer dextrose, it has a glycemic index of 100. it spikes insulin and just as chefbone says.. i hear about guys drinkign a coke or 2 after working out, works the same way, also gotta get some whey in there too with it

Also it is good to take some R-ALA (like Glucorell R) and creatine with the sugars to enhance the glycogen replenishment and creatine uptake.

I love Coke. Just another excuse to drink one...

I love coke too.<<sniff...sniff>>>>>

dextrose will work the best

Coke contains high fructose corn syrup which is basically a 'junk' carbohydrate...unless you buy the mexican coke - we're still talking about sodas right?
