which is better PWO, dextrose or oatmass?

I've progressed better since i droped PWO shake. Sipping on Aminos pre and during keeps me anabolic. I eat eat straight after.
Insulin spikes were making me fat.
 
That's my point noobs, pre and post workout nutrition have their place when everything else in the diet is spot on. Back on topic, choose one, stick with it for a good period of time and see how it effects you.

I'd go with the dextrose in the pwo shake.
 
I sip EAA's pre and intra post workout and then have about 60g of oats with a shake about 20 minutes/half an hour after training. I basically sip on EAA's most of time these days. It seems to help with recovery and I'm staying lean but putting on weight.
 
I also dropped the big insulin spike pwo as it was making me fatER.. If you are able to eat pretty much straight after thats good but for most people at the gym a shake is just more convenient..

Protein from the meal before eliminates the NEED for intra workout shakes or bcaas/eaas but post workout you need some protein + a carb source straight after. If I was going to have a whole food meal pwo I would be sipping on the aminos during and after until I ate, and I would be obviously eating a protein source and carb source.

I have a prewo meal of protein and low gi carb eg. oats, sip on bccas during, pwo whey blend or wpc shake and cooked oats. This is my opinion and what I do/ what I feel works for me.. each to their own.
