dextrose is unnecesary for pwo. a regular whey shake will blunt cortisol. this could allow you to consume the carbs you need throughout the day. i didnt believe it till i tried it and its made cutting so much easier. also, there is no "pwo window", its bullshit. you can have your shake whenever you please, the sooner the better but it makes no difference.
having your pwo shake before cardio is wrong. no way around the fact that carbs, fast axting ones at that, cause a huge insulin spike and the carbs get burned in place of fat. the whole reason for cardio pwo is because the glycogen and energy sources in the body have been depleted and we are trying to take advantage of this state in our body to prolong the fat burning effect at a greater rate.
