What Intra Workout Drink you should use & why

Intra workout drinks can be a bit confusing. You need to know what to take and when to take them. If you are just starting off in the gym you can get away with just H2O but for the more advanced lifter you need something stronger. Watch this video and see what i have to say about the subject. And as always make sure you like share and subscribe.

Best advice I've ever followed is Johns. Alongside training with the Onslaught program I decided to switch up from having post work out shakes to Hydro Casein and the Highly branched cyclic dextrin (intra), and I was really apprehensive of ditching the PWO shake.. but.. just do it. I've gotten stronger, bigger and I'm continuing to lose body fat.. I bow down to you John!

[@mountaindog1]

very cool! Yes I try to get people to try, if they would just try it they would see...

[@rube6729]

Thanks Jon! I'm always thinking about this. Prefer Gatorade G2 to regular Gatorade because of the dextrose and have always used BCAAs, glutamine, and a little AAKG. How about post workout and R-ALA? I've seen both arguments, use it as you would insulin (pwo with carbs) but I have also seen the opposite argument against taking it pwo because you want a bit of insulin spike. Thoughts?

you can do the R-ALA pre too if using carbs during..very versatile ingredient! That is when I would do it personally.

Hey John- I'm a 27 y.o. Type 1 Diabetic who has become increasingly obsessed with bodybuilding. Gets a little tricky trying to relate the advantages of carb/glucose loading pre/intra workout with people who actually produce insulin. Any suggestions or pointers on optimizing pump/muscle growth for Diabetics? Awesome channel Thank YOU !

[@mountaindog1]

I am not a doctor so I am always careful. You have to use insulin though because your immune system is eating up your pancreatic beta cells. Type 2 diabetes is a completely different animal. Since you use insulin, you might want to research using it around training and showing in proper nutrients during that time.. :)

[@kencamera]

I've been on an insulin pump for 12+ years so I constantly have insulin pumping - it gets tricky around training and stressful times so yes, I am looking into proper sports-nutritionist consultation. Wasn't sure if you had trained or worked with any diabetics. Thank you !

[@250garbear]

He is not shitting you about the cluster Dextrin. I've haven't tried his brand yet with the added pump agents etc,I use a pure cluster Dextrin and it makes a world of difference. I started doing high intensity lifting like you see in John's videos where I started really going for extra sets, partial reps after failure,10 second pause holds at the end of sets as well as drop sets to failure. I wasn't using any cluster Dextrin and for the first month I found myself very sore and taking longer than I had been previously to get back to any given body part, especially legs. I started cluster Dextrin drinking a steady amount with lots of water as I started my workouts,during, and a short time after and John is not kidding when he talks about how strange it is not to get sore, even after the most intense lifting sessions I felt somehow i wasn't lifting hard enough, even though I'm working out harder and with more intensity than I ever have (I'm mid 40s male who only started seriously lifting 2 years ago). If you are a casual lifter on a light schedule you don't need cluster Dextrin,but if you are attacking the weights with great intensity and drive, definitely give cluster Dextrin a try. I've made more gains since I started using alot of John's advice and training methods and have used his advice on proper form especially as it concerns older bodybuilders to take on weights that I couldn't lift in my 20s now in my 40s with ease and stay injury free. I can't recommend a better person to follow for the young as well as older lifter.

John are you saying maltodextrin does not have a positive effect in an intra drink with eaas? At first i have been using malt beer with eaas, then i tried cyclic dextrin and now i am using maltodextrin (just bought 5kg :P). To be honest, i cannot notice a difference in it's effect. Also maltodextin is not cheap, well compared to cyclic dextrin it is, but not so regular dextrose or other sugars.

I always get confused with classifying people as beginner, intermediate and advanced. What if you are someone with years of experience who has just gotten back in the gym after years of not lifting? That's where I am/was. Been back into the gym after a 7 year lay off. I was able to get the muscle memory for my lifts back within a few months and at about 6 months I was no longer feeling fatigue or gaining much strength from lower intensity. So I have been training higher intensity (albeit with longer rest periods) since, going to or close to failure on some sets, hitting everything x2 a week and lifting in the 70-90% range depending on the programming while testing my max lifts periodically. I have noticed significantly more progress in strength and muscle gain. So I am at the 1 year mark as of tomorrow. Am I a beginner, intermediate or advanced? Just curious about the philosophy here.
