ratio of postworkout

coolnatedawg Posts: 813 Joined: 2005/03/09	2005/10/17, 05:33 PM hey all. i have NOW maltodextrin and dextrose, creatine monohydrate, and some whey with like 19g per scoop. If i plan on building muscle and minimizing fat gain... what would be the ratio i want. i weigh 183 and i am 6'2 and i would like to weigh something along the lines of 190 or so with just muscle gains (very unlikely) but anyways what is the proper ratio? thanks a lot... -nate

However, this depends on your needs. A bodybuilder would usea much lower ratio, and similarly, an athlete would use closer to a 3:1 ratio. It depends on your goals. -------------- Your two most important minerals: Iron and Chalk. If you smoke or don’t wear your seatbelt, please don’t tell me the deadlift is dangerous.

For example, on a hard leg day you should probably need more than for example an all arm day. The object is to get your bodyily functions back to normalized as quickly as possible, so protein synthesis can begin.
