    buy it in bulk from your local brewery.

    Take it post workout,25-50grams, with creatine and whey isolate

    if you don't have a local brewery most food stores will sell the NOW Foods brand in 2 pound bags for like $3. Above ratios and recipe for a post workout drink are accurate.

    If you do have a local brewery.. screw the dextrose and buy the beer instead....

    That's what I use. Here in Australia you can buy it in the local grocery store. Aussies and alcohol....lol...some stereotypes are accurate. LOL

    Am I the only one who finds dextrose to be sweet as FUCK? Natron, you recommend 25 - 50 grams, but just a couple tablespoons is almost too much.

    I mix it with my whey iso, creatine and water. I add more water to lessen the sweetness. Doesn't bother me at all. I do tend to keep my dose on the low side though, I only use higher doses while bulking, and training legs/back

    one question...i wake up and have either half scoop of isolate or xtend....should i add some dextrose to it like even 15g? Do you need a little fast carbs to start everything up?

    If you want to use maltodextrin (brewers sugar is not the same as dextrose) you can use som pre workout, post workout you should avoid it, thought you knew this Carl?? ;-)
