I'm confused, you go with a slow carb (waxy maize) straight after your workout......then you hit again with another slow carb (oatmass) 15 minutes later? What is the reasoning behind this
I'm not sure what you mean by slow carb? as far as I have read WMS is one of the farstest absorbing carbs out there. Below is riped from Fitness Central website. Basically the wms is for delivering the creatine and eaa's into the blood system, then a 60/40 carb protien later.
What Is Waxy Maize Starch (WMS)?
Waxy Maize Starch is a long chain carbohydrate derived from corn.
Why Use Waxy Maize Starch ( Instead of Dextrose / Maltodextrin?
Waxy Maize Starch has some very unique properties which make it different to any other carbohydrate source.
Waxy Maize Starch has a much higher molecular weight and a much lower osmolarity rate compared to dextrose / maltodextrin. This means it bypasses the stomach and is immediately absorbed by the intestines and assimilated by the body. In simple terms,
Waxy Maize Starch gets absorbed and utilised by your body twice as fast as any other carbohydrate.
Dextrose and Maltodextrin can also cause water retention, bloating, and an upset stomach whereas
Waxy Maize Starch is non-sweet and sits lightly in the gut before almost immediately being absorbed by the body.
How Does Waxy Maize Starch (WMS) Assist Bodybuilders?
Waxy Maize Starch is pulled through the gut so fast that it acts like a 'pump', drawing water and other nutrients through with it. By mixing your amino acids, creatine, and other supplements with
Waxy Maize Starch you can increase their speed and level of absorption. Many bodybuilders report that they can feel muscles becoming fuller shortly after consuming
Waxy Maize Starch with amino acids.
Waxy Maize Starch is primarily used Post-Workout as an energy replenishment carb. During exercise your body depletes glycogen, or energy stores. To minimise recovery time and maximize muscle growth it is vital to replenish glycogen stores as quickly as possible so your body is no longer in a depleted, catabolic state. Using
Waxy Maize Starch Post-Workout is currently the fastest way of doing this.
How Much Waxy Maize Starch (WMS) Should Be Used?
Most bodybuilders start with 40grams Post-Workout and adjust from there. It is important to keep the drink as dilute as possible to maximise the effects. Using a 10% ratio of
Waxy Maize Starch to Water is ideal. eg. 40g
Waxy Maize Starch in 400ml water, 50g
Waxy Maize Starch in 500ml water, etc.
Can Waxy Maize Starch (WMS) Be Stacked With Other Supplements?
Yes. You should add your Amino Acids and Creatine to your
Waxy Maize Starch and consume them together post-workout, followed 20minutes later by a protein shake. For example; Finish Workout: Consume 40g
Waxy Maize Starch, 20g EAA, 5g Creatine in at least 400ml water. 20 Minutes Later: Protein Shake
