Gotcha, well now I know!

For me it's the heaviest filthiest rock music I can find, and 2 usually get through 2 litres of water

Should waxy maize starch be taken in my post workout protein shake?

icecold · 15 Mar 2012 at 17:32

That's where you're supposed to have it.

But WMS is not the fast absorbing carb source it was supposed to be.

And for this reason, i've resorted to having oats instead, i don't take simple sugars.

I got some free thats all, so just wondering what to do with it. Currently have oats + protein on a morning, then protein post workout, with creatine whenever I remember during the day

Got some more xtend today, I was very pleased with the smaller tub I bought so invested in the larger one this time. It works out so much better value. Smaller one is 390g and the larger is 1260g.

Side by side comparison. Went for a different flavour too.

Is there any reason you buy new one when old ones so much cheaper as most places are clearing it? £10 extra for cheap as chips electrolytes ..

They don't pricematch everything, they just ignore some requests.... and why pricematch when you can order from elsewhere and get it delivered free within a few days?

Few reasons. The added ingredients and the taste.

What are those two flavours like? Hopefully better than watermelon, the stuff tastes naaaasty.

LiE · 15 Mar 2012 at 20:55

Tried some lemon today, I prefer the Apple but time will tell

I normally grow to like whatever it is I take.

RobSmith · 15 Mar 2012 at 20:59

That's the only draw back of them being no carbs, they have to add horrible sweeteners. Still.. definitely worth taking despite the taste.

Could I mix a big batch of Xtend and take it as I needed it over the course of a week?

Looks to be exactly what I need.

Not sure what you mean.

reiyushin · 16 Mar 2012 at 13:24

Could I make up say 2 litres of it at a time?

LiE · 16 Mar 2012 at 13:25

Don't see why not.

TommyV · 16 Mar 2012 at 13:29

Not that I've used it, but would the solution seperate, like a protein shake does if left for a prolonged period of time?

Delvis · 16 Mar 2012 at 13:48

Some random savings in the clearance section if anyone is interested:
