Drink During Workout

[daande]

What do you drink during a workout. Do you drink a gaterade, vitamin water or something like that or just water? State what you drink and your reasoning behind it. Personally I find if I am drinking a gaterade or something with sugar in it I feel more of a pump. Could be in my head though.

I use to drink the premixed gaterade until delt king told me that it was useless because if its premixed its filled with fructose. But if u buy the gaterade powder its filled with dextrose and u will benefit if u drink it durning ur workouts cause it will keep ur insulin levels spiked.

I mix my own gatorade with BCAAs.

Is there any benefit to drinking BCAA's during a workout?

I know lots of who bcaa's durning workouts...I personally think its more beneficial to drink post workout with a shake.

Big time difference, you should try it when dieting. Strength stays up and muscle soreness goes down.

bulking: BCAAs+Carbs
cutting: BCAAs

You guys that drink water have you ever tried drinking something high in sugar, like a gaterade?

ya but i personally don't find a difference i just take dextrose post workout...

How are BCAA's mixed in with Gatorade Powder ?

[PdH]

I've put dextrose in my water before but didn't find any appreciable difference. Plain water does the job for me.

water and bcaa's sometimes added waxy.

I like scotch, but gin and tonic with a squeeze of lime is good too.

I drink about 4 scoops of Xtend by Scivation which has 5g glutamine , 13g BCAA's and 2g CM with 2L of water - every workout .

I also drink this with about 4L of water and 6 scoops ALL DAY when I 'm on a low calorie diet ( which I am now ) I find it helps with cravings and helps fight hunger.

bcaa supplementation shou;ldn't be taken with a shake. Take your BCAA's right after training then do your shit, go home and then eat or drink a shake.

Why shouldn't BCAAs be taken with a protein/carb shake?

I'll try to find the study but from what I recall reading it had something to do with the uptake of the BCAA's into the blood stream. Basically slowing their entry.

Lemme see if I can dig it up. Was a cpl years ago that I initially read it though.

^^ take BCAA's right after workout with carbs or without carbs?

well it really doesn't make sense since BCAAs are components of protein. And protein+carbs has been shown to be more beneficial than protein alone

If your having protein intra/post-workout though, BCAAs really are not necessary/beneficial at all

[Chaps]

Scivation Xtend sipped on during and after my workout.

So i'm getting bcaa's citruline malate and glutamine. I get better pumps/endurance and noticeably better recovery from workouts.

I am a big advocate of intraworkout mixes. I mix 35g of gatorade powder with 10g of BCAAs. Works awesome, I can keep the intensity up for much longer doing this. My leg and back days suffer if I forget to bring this concoction with me.

BCAA, sodium citrate, citric acid, calcium pyruvate, l-glutamine, potassium phosphate, bromelain, lipoic acid, gymnema sylvestre, asorbic acid, magnesium citrate, royal jelly, and chromium citrate.

Are those the ingredients in a drink mix you use, or is this homebrew?

Electro Carb by Advanced Nutrition. Discontinued long time ago. I just add BCAA. Will homebrew when I run out unless I find something similar.

[Ritch]

If you homebrew that, you`re crazier than me! That`s gonna be alot of powders on the counter going through a funnel...
