I have 10LBS of Waxy Maize...what is it good for?

[LightBearer]

title says it all, i was placing a bulk order on TP, and was in a rush so i figured waxy maize starch would be the best carb for post workout shakes, after the order was placed i did some more research and found that its not good at all for pwo
so is this shit completely useless?how about in a breakfast shake?

 

[SuperLift]

Not useless at all. I have used it PWO with great success. I prefer dextrose over waxy maize if your talking about pwo, but wazy maize is definitely better than nothing imo. I would use it.

I like to use waxy maize right after I am done for a post workout. Here is a good conversation off AnabolicMinds: Waxy Maize Starch Craze - Anabolicminds.com

there was a pretty recent study done http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/waxy_maize_starch_myth.htm i think that showed waxy maize to be inferior to dextrose and malto to post work out spike, its more of a complex carb and not really good for glycogen replenishment. it was said to be just as good as white bread

 

[Good Grip]

If you have it dont let it go to waste and just bite the bullet and finish it. Its better than nothing.

Trash can lol

It's just a carb. not good or bad.

I used it PWO for a while but it tastes like glue and I actually get a better response from gatoraid.

I ended up trashing about 5lbs of Waxy.

well great maybe ill add it to my morning shake, or use it as sweeping compound or something. i picked up a tub of powder Gatorade from target for 3.97 for about 15 servings the other day for until my vitargo gets here
what a shameful waste

How about a dextrose based candy, WONKA'S pixy sticks is one of only a few dextrose only based candy no other sugars 7 sticks (16g) 60 cal, o g protein, 15g carbs, 0g fat. 15g dextrose sugar. consumed immediately after workout perhaps on way home to make pwo and use half dose of waxy maize until it's gone.

Like how you cited your source lol

The simple dextrose candy idea is one that I used to follow also. Essentially that's all it is...dextrose! You could also check out the old-school wafers that they sell at the bottom of the candy isle. Nothing, but pressed dextrose with some flavoring.

pixy stix sound great for once in a while but for the long term id rather something unflavored

 

[cdan19]

I hear ya, I'm don't have the sweet tooth either and never cared for the flavored supps, which makes me think of some of the nasty tasting whey's and liquid amino's from back in the day. sounds like a new thread... good luck with the other 9lbs 14oz you've yet to consume . LOL

Update: since it was unopened, and I opted for the plain unflavored wms, TrueProtein agreed to send me a 50<50 dextrose malto mix and a return label to send back the waxy at no charge to me. Really immppressed with these guys. Also my coconut casein protein taste great.

How is the consistency? Most casein is not fun to drink, is is miscellar casein you got? And is that chocolate coconut or just coconut flavored?

Plain coconut, next time ill go with choc coconut. Its the new instantized micellar casein, supposed to be easier to mix. Consistancy very chalky^fluffy, made mistake of blending 2 scoops in 10 oz milk it came out like cottage cheese thick, so I just added water and blended it more, it was great.
