It's my understanding for lean mass gain you're better off using something like oatmass as your pwo carb source as opposed to dextrose? tell me if I'm wrong

bcaas during and post workout then whey + oats cooked in microwave.. yummy. Im an endomorph so I feel oats are better for me to be leaner as my bodys not very sensitive to insulin.. Depends on body type / how your body responds to carbs. The big insulin spike postworkout is unnecessary.

1L Whole Milk. Or 8 raw eggs in a shaker bottle.

I think I do pretty well without the magical insulin spike. Don't get much of one with milk, and don't get any with eggs.
Out of curiosity, why do you think it's necessary to have an insulin spike via nutritonally void sugar post training? You get the "glycogen refill" from your PWO meal and you should have plenty in your system as is from your previous meals.
That's directed at no one in particular.

i too am interested in this one...
currently while dieting down, i am not having any carbs in my PWO shake. previously i would have about 40g dextrose. I also have plenty of oatmass, i've never considered having this PWO.

yeah, im beginning to think the dextrose is unnecessary too. plus i don't like the idea of having a whole lot of sugar.
what do you use during your workout?

haven't tried apple, might get that one next time i order from the states (unless you know a cheap local supplier..). i like having some first thing in the morning too, like an instant protein hit
by 'Bulk EAA's', do you mean from bulk nutrients? if that mixes well with the xtend, that sounds like a pretty good idea!
Do you find that you are still getting the same gains?
I currently have EAA's Pre/During and then a Protein shake with Dexrose after.
Shrek is this just your pre/during drink and then you go straight to your meal (meat & vege) or do you have more aminos post workout before your meal?

Yes Bulk Nutrients for the EAA's. I got Xtend from e-bay. &0bux delivered in 2 days. apple is very good.
Yes same gains without added fat storage. I do not have a protein drink. After I finish my custom mix I eat my meat and veg or salad straight away.
As above. No protein drink just aminos and then eat.
Once i start bulking again i will do the same except I will add sweet potatoe to my meal.

These days you can get xtend anywhere in Aus. If it's not a your local supplier just google it.
At the moment I prefer to sip faster carbs during workout, then some oatmass after.
