What do you Drink While Working-out?

[vtec96]

What does everyone drink while working out? I have heard things like if you drink a carb drink then you wont be able to burn fat! I am actually trying to bulk but want to keep up my glycogen levels. Im now drinking a Gatorade-type drink, just a few carbs to keep me going while training. It seems to work pretty good.

GLUTACENE ALL THE WAY

I particularly don't want to be drinking sugar during my workout, then again post workout. I would prefer insulin levels to spike once w/ my post workout shake and that's it. I drink water during the workout, then after I have the dextrose/whey shake.

If you want to bulk and are worried about muscle glycogen, all you have to do is eat carbs before a workout. I'm sure when bulking you have enough carbs to last you the workout and then some. You're not going to be catabolic that fast.

If you want to burn fat, you'd restrict carbs. I wouldn't particularly take them w/ my workout, I prefer after. But I would make sure I take in enough before I workout to last me the workout and then replenish it w/ the shake. You want your metabolism to be raised for several hours, that's where the fat burning you want. Raised metabolism and restricted calories.

im same as risky biz, carbs and protein pre workout, water during workout, and dextrose/whey post workout.

I take a dextrose/whey shake before w/o. Then dextrose/creatine shake after w/o. Wait 30min and take a whey protein only shake. Go home and eat.

Ditto on Risky and 110%. Water during. I have tried drinking aminos/carbs during my work out, but it just sits there. It's like my digestive system stops dead in its tracks once the work out begins. Seems like all my energy is focused on lifting, then afterwards I slowly feel my digestive system start churning away again. So I'll eat an hour or so before, then post work out shake asap after.
