    Bingo... a sustained insulin response vs. spike

      ^^ I learned from the best! Our old conversations about postworkout supplementation was one of the first thing that got me interested in supplements. Ah the olden days!
      Back to the basics!

        so basically, so long as you get your AAs in and your protein during and after your workout, carbs of any source is not really needed, right?

        if that is the case, when should the next meal be.. asap? or 30min, or an hour later?

          That's a loaded question and in bold above is why...

          As usual it all comes back to the big picture. From a digestion standpoint for example, carbs pre / during / post may not be optimal BUT IF they give you even a small increase in energy / strength they are obviously worth it and I would just experiment with dosage 40g may be overkill and 10g may not be enough... or you may want a different dosage when cutting vs. bulking.

          Now let's say you add Purple WRAATH into the picture (those that can afford it) now you have a optimal source for both energy and free form aminos for recovery (and timing is key here), this addition changes everything...

            It's a real bitch when dicussing things that you cannot get straight answers about, and the if and buts and variables... all this thinking. What happend to the days when you could just be a meathead?
