What is dextrose exactly? Where can I get some? I've heard many positive things about the stuff.bigmack said:30 minutes before

mix 40 grams of dextrose with it each time .dextrose is a sugar,it just sweetens it up.dont put table sugar lol,make sure its dextrose. what it does in the body is spike insulin,which will let the protein get absorbed even more,which is what you want. dextrose is cheap, u can get a huge bag for 10 dollars.

Thanks bigmack, im gonna probably order a bag, cus I hear this stuff is great for post workout insulin spiking. If i take it during my workout it will increase my pump you say? as appose to just taking it post workout??bigmack said:dextrose is a sugar.corn sugar is a form of dextrose.it tastes like table sugar, but it reacts differently in the body. table sugar converts to liver glycogen when it enters the body.dextrose on the other hand converts to muscle glycogen,which in turns,aids in protein synthesis. try taking 50 grams of dextrose in the middle of a workout,it will give you orgasmic pumps lol.you usually mix it with your protein drink pre and post workout.
the cheapest dextrose is off the internet.you can probably find it in a health food store.

Also, what do you know about Maltrose? You ever tried the stuff?
Thanks. Rep.bigmack said:you can take it during the workout,it will bring your strength and pumps up. you still have to take it pre/post workout though.
maltrose is a starch which you do not want to take pre and post workout since it does not spike the insulin,therefore has no use.

from personal experience, prolab creatine is excellent.. do some research and i think you'll find the name 'prolab' thrown around as the best there is.
pinG said:loading isnt necessary but necessary if you want the full creatine benefits as soon as possible certainly do not load longer then a week as after this, anything more than a teaspoon is useless
pinG said:creatine cycling is necessary if you tend to be doin this for the long term unless you want some fucked up kidneys
