I've been sipping on 100g dextrose intra workout and feel sick after nearly finishing it over about 90 minutes of heavy training and get very distended, can barely eat my post workout meal bc I'm so full (even waiting)
What intra carb do you recommend? And post Meal?
okay, long post
drinking dextrose during workouts is utter shit because of its osmolarity. draws a shitton of water into your intestines... also makes most people sick and that shit doesnt even taste good. you wanna enjoy eating, especially on bulks where you have to stuff yourself heavily
right now im having 150g carbs right at the gym before i start my workout.
i cant be fucked to drink dextrose, i just eat 2 pudding scones and 2 raisin buns right before hitting the weights.
i dont know if you guys got that in the US, over here we have much more bread and patries i think...
just pick the low fat ones. mine have 8g fat for 150g carbs.
i LOVE the taste. put some plum jelly and cinnamon on that shit cuz its christmas and it tastes awesome.
an hour into my workout ill have 100g of haribo (its soft candy), 70g carbs (make sure main ingredient is glucose syrup, you dont want useless fructose from sugar). doesnt digest that well, but i love candy so idgaf.
i eat my post meal around an hour after coming back from the gym.
my schedule goes like this
-drink
protein shake (70g protein 30g carbs), creatine, leucine, agmatine.
-
inject 20iu humalog-go to the gym (5 minute walk)
-get my
pre carbs in (150g)
-start workout (which is around 20min after the shake and the insulin shot)
-60-70mins into my workout snack my
haribo-finish workout after 90-100mins
-get home, chill for half an hour or so until i get hungry again, then
start cooking my pwo meal and eat (usually around 3-3.5hours after my pre shake)
post meal is usually between 1200-1500 kcals, 70-80g protein or whatever. i dont even count carbs or fats anymore (except for intra workout), just protein.
obviously im not gonna stuff myself with fat when the insulin is still active, but i dont watch fats since im more of a carb person anyway. the only fatty foods i like are salmon, cheese and chocolate lol.
all that meticulous counting only makes life complicated and miserable, i have noticed absolutely zero restricting fats like a retard PWO...
nowadays its actually harder for me to get in enough kcals to grow (need 4500+), so im not restricting any nutrient that could help me with that.
