    It's been retried too. I don't think it killed him but I do believe like some other guy who tried it they eventually just crashed for a day or a few.

    sounds like one loud as heck air gun. I had the pellet gun out the other day warming up for mole season. Fakkerz are ruining my yard.

    Poor little guy! I hope he has a speedy recovery. It's so hard when you can't just "fix" it. Way to be there for him and be a kick ass dad though. Good job on the pedaling, especialy with so much else going on.

    To elaborate more, fructose HAS to go through the liver to digest if I remember biology right. We don't want that in this case, it would steal blood and insulin from the muscles. Also it will be much easier to convert to fat. I read one study where they found that some 30% of all fructose is turned into triglycerides. Though the liver is the main production plant for IGF I don't think it's nesicarry to send it fructose.

    My recomendation is start with dextrose and then try fruit juice later. Grape juice rates the highest on the GI for fruit juice. It's still only in the high 50's I think. Dextrose will cause a MUCH more signifcant increase in nutrient shuttling. YMMV but diabete's research is classic and can help us understand quite a bit about sugars and our bodies. Fruictose is absolutely not ideal, and neither is sucrose. They will work but everything with our biology makes it much harder to use fructose for what we want it to do in this case. If you HAVE to use an all natty juice, use grape juice. It's still at best 50% as good as dextrose IMHO. And that's if you actually do digest it. A lot of what goes into the mouth gets caught up in the intestines. That means you need to consume MUCH more sugar to get the same insulin spike, and that means WAY more empty calories.

    Then heck yeah. If you don't mind the extra kcal then it's a great idea. Milk has one of the best overall amino break downs out there. Great protein profile and you're right. goes great with whey.

    Welcome to the IHoP

    This is a loaded question. I honestly think that if you worked HARD then the sugar you take in will have an extreme low likely hood of being deposited as fat. This rest of this will deviate from the original goal a bit. That goal being performance increase and less pain and faster recovery time, but it does tie in. Unless you're doing a ketogenic type diet I am convinced that overall the sugar after a HARD and depleating work out will result in only a better overall body comp. The sugar in this instance is really only used to force insulin and IGF like compounds into play. They will help shuttle nutrients to the places they need to go. It has a verry low likely hood of converting to fat as the muscles you just work will have so much more blood flow. This is why body builder type guys are always worried about their "pump" and the timing of it. It's getting the max blood into that area as blood caries amino's and the materials to repair the muscles you just broke down. On a big picture scale building more muscle will always result in burning more fat than just trying to burn fat all the time. The more muscle you have the more calories you can burn while resting. Short term fat loss benefits would also be if you have more muscle you can train that much harder. Thus burning more every time you put the muscle to work again Longer term is that if you get sick or injured a larger muscle supply means more to break down and stay healthy/alive and you will have higher recovery performance.

    Also just an FYI.... I am a fan of using more than one sugar and more than one type of protein, but only if you know why you're doing it. So if you get great results from something like milk, I say go nuts. The reason behind my madness here is to create a controll that will handle 90% of what you need. You can then fine tune it from there. Maltodextrin is a great example. Lots of people love it. It may actually cause more insulin to be released over all. There is some debate on that. It's not as sweet either. It gives a silkier "mouth feel" to protein shakes. Can help with protein that doesn't mix well and just clumps. Dextrose does digest easier and faster though. It's a poly sacharide though, meaning complex carb. The term complex is near worthless though as the bonds that hold this starch together are some of the weakest out there. It honestly acts more like a sugar.

    Welcome to the IHoP

    Start with something insanely basic. 1 cup of this Bodybuilding.com - NOW Dextrose Powder - Corn Sugar! On sale now! With one scoop(provided in the tub) of this Bodybuilding.com - Syntrax Nectar - Best Tasting Protein! On sale now! That syntax looks good, and the dextrose is cheap, I may just try some out. I have some protein poweders building up at my place but they are cheap lol Nectrar tastes good. Like fruit. I always got apple myself. I used to take plain yogurt and add a scoop of the nectar product and that would be a really good breakfast. Then I got cheap as I was going through so much protein with 3 shakes a day so I switched to sci fit. It didn't taste half as good but it is dirt cheap. Thankfully I have always had an iron stomach and no protein ever bothered it. Some guys I knew could only have specific types that cost big $$$$. Is it bad to mix the protein powder with milk instead of water? I've found that it makes it taste 1,000 times better. I know it's lactose and not glucose, so a bit different sugar and perhaps not optimal? However, I've also found that it basically makes it impossible to do any more workout afterward because the milk just sits in my stomach and gives me a sideache. I'm not an advanced supplement guy, I only do the simple whey protein powder right after I lift. In this case, for post work out I don't like milk. It would add other vitamins/nutrients that you may not desire after a work out. For someone trying to learn what does and does not work, throwing in an extra variable isn't optimal. For me right after squats I would really dislike milk in my stomach unless it's ICE cold. The protein I linked called nectar tastes like fruit juice, it really does. It has a bit of after taste if you were to mix it alone, but not much at all. Also you will be adding even more sweetness and better mouth feel with the dextrose. That all said I have used milk as a post work out mixer just fine. Other than what I just mentioned there are a few things that tell me it's not "optimal" after a work out. A few reasons why..... lactose. Lactose doesn't spike insulin as much as dextrose. The higher the GI index the better. Lactose is 46. Dextrose is 100. Calcium. Calcium is important. Really important. I just don't think it is right after a work out. We were designed well by evolution. We need more calcium than any other mineral/vitamin(by volume), so if we take vitamins and calcium together there is a theory(studies too) that say calcium is "cherry picked" for digestion and other vitamins might be left out. In this case then the extra nutrients in milk might give show a larger or smaller benefit than if you left the milk out. Fat. Even skim milk has fat in it, and post work out, the less fat the better. Some people respond to it, but fat slows digestion. We want digestion as fast as possible. I know I'm nitpicking, but I have tried everything out there. For a starting point find out the perfect sugar:protein combo for your body and then modify it with different things.

    No not really. I had worse stretch marks when I went through puberty. my shoulders ended up growing wide so fast that around my detls and pecs I have the most stretch marks.

    I hope it helps. I spent so much money on different products, then when I got more knowledge I found that nothing had everything I wanted, or had extra stuff I didn't and a price to match it. The best part of trying dextrose with whey(or similar protein only mixer) is you can find out what ration and total volume of macronutrients best for your needs. Then the real hot ticket is you can add and subtract different additives and see if the work great don't work at all, or work ok but not worth the cost. I got into the whole natty thing to and only used whole foods for a while also. It was ok, but required more set up time and you had to transport your natty PWO cocktail "wet". As in pre-mixed. Because you need more weight when pedaling, or another shaker bottle at the gym right? Also some of my buddies who I would work couldn't stomach the acid from juices, or had issues with yogurt or cottage cheese after a set of squats or 20 miles of their stomach dropping from 3 foot drops and jumps on bike trails. You guys are getting me all motivated to be healthy again, or at least try harder. I'm 140 pounds more than I was 5 years ago.

    J-road made a summation at the end of that thread. Basically, there is no good reason to resin/glass your box unless you're going to compete. And then it may help or it may hurt. You would have to try both and measure what happens. Even if it does help with strength, and that's not a sure thing either as it could hurt strength, it's not worth it. You could do so many other things to make it stronger or louder than cost and effort make is a bad choice to glas/resin your box.
