post workout carbs crap?

[danilo7559]

has anyone actually benefitted from post workout carbs, i mean everyone goes on about them, but its like there just saying what they read in a book or what sounds right! christ i went through an entire tub of post workout drink and after 5 weeks i got no additional strength or weight gain, just a yuky full feeling for about 3 hours after every drink.
pack in carbs before training to lift big weights is far far more important imo.

please dont post back and write what we already know about the theory, i just want to know if anyone 'put' on size or strength from post workout carbs

Carbs after training don't guarantee results, they only partially help in recovery. I would suggest boosting your PW protein intake instead of thinking about carbs.

PW carbs are supposed to spike insulin inorder for nutrients to better be absorbed. i didnt see any benefit myself ethier untill i became diabetic. when i took insulin after a workout i was easily able to abosrb 80 to 100 g of protien PW
