We are working off a Hypotrophy program ATM and it is completely smashing me... I have close to throwing up in the middle of the gym more times in the last 2 weeks than I have in the 12 months of training before it. I love it 1

Maltodextrin has less calories in it than sugar. It's produced from processing starch in foods like potato and rice. You can add it to a pre/post workout shake. Not sure it would taste good by itself in water. Personally I wouldn't bother with either though. Stick to the basics and make sure you're eating enough. If you need sugar eat a banana pre/post workout. They're a good source of potassium. Edited 08/08/13 04:02 AM by _Velocity_

I put a little dextrose in some water before gym today. dissolved and made the water a little sweeter. lol. tasted nice actually. kinda like a mizone drink.

It's in a lot of those packet cakes and is used as an artificial sweetener. So does anyone here to pull ups for chest/back? Are these worth doing?
