what's your favorite post workout shake recipe?

**bigss75** · 11-02-2002, 07:36 AM

55 gram dextrose
10 gram glutamine
10 gram creatine
45 gram whey protein

**The Berg Master** · 11-02-2002, 09:13 AM

What do you mix it with bigss75? Milk? Water?

**Robboe** · 11-02-2002, 09:42 AM

I'd guess water, since he didn't list 'milk' in there.

Not to mention mixing dextrose and milk would make for an...interesting taste...

I never set numbers on these things, so:

some dextrose (or maltodextrin, or a combination of both).
some whey (or a combination of whey and casein).
some creatine (if i have any).

This is a little recipe I use:

0.8-1.0 g/kg/bw of a 50/50 blend of dextrose and maltodextrin

0.4-0.6 g/kg/bw of hydrolyzed whey (maybe some isolate blended in for taste) 50% minimum of hydrolyzed

3-5 g BCAA's

5-10 g glutamine

5 g creatine

**Robboe** · 11-02-2002, 11:17 AM

That's Zepplin's right?

**hardHITer001** · 11-02-2002, 11:21 AM

Yep!

With just a little more glutamine.

**Training God** · 11-04-2002, 12:26 PM

5 grams creatine
10-15 grams fructose
25 grams of malto dextrin
20 grams of isolate
5 grams of BCAAs (specifically Leucine and one other that I can't remember)

You take the BCAA's separately?

(Isoleucine or valine BTW)

Very good stuff. I use it religiously.

40 grams whey protein (much of which is hydrolized)
60 grams simple carbs
2 g arginine
10 grams glutamine peptides

I add 5 g creatine to this mix and feel great. I then eat about 60 minutes later.

I`ve been thinking of giving Lava a whurl.

Calories 265
Carbohydrates 32 grams
Protein 32 grams
Fat 1 gram
Creatine Monohydrate 5.5 grams
Chromium 75 mcg
Glutamine 2.5 gram
Taurine 1.2 gram
Sodium 180 mg
Potassium 360 mg

**Robboe** · 11-05-2002, 09:31 AM

Kuso, you can probably make that yourself for cheaper.

GP, you're using arginine post w/o as well as the PE?

**kuso** · 11-05-2002, 01:10 PM

TCD...you are right, but I cannot find Malt/dext over here anywhere.......by the time I buy each ingrediant online and pay for postage, I`m guessing this would be cheaper

**Robboe** · 11-05-2002, 01:14 PM

Mixing the malto and dextrose isn't that essential. if you're taking in 100g of dextrose at one time, then yeah, half and half of dex/malto is a good idea, but really, if you're taking in 30-50g then there's not that much point.

Dextrose is available all over. Have you tried pharamcies?

Breweries? (seriously, they have it as corn sugar)

Grape sugar, glucose, dextrose, corn starch - all the same stuff.

**kuso** · 11-05-2002, 01:23 PM

They are a pretty simple bunch over here

I know its usually the Brewries and chemists that sell it, infact this is where I`ve bought it at home, though the chemists don`t sell it here, nothing but either table or brown sugar, and I have no idea as to where to even look for a brewery

No...right now I just use the PE immediately after the workout and then a shake 30 minutes later.

Before this experiment I was using the Recover X + creatine titrate. Actually, that is what I use most of the year unless I'm being a human lab rat.

Its a creamy orange flavor. Its not great, but not bad either. Yes, I mix it in water. Biotest puts out a good post workout shake too, but it tastes like raw sewage!
