I have been using a carb drink that has 50g carbs and 17 sugars post workout and another protien about 40 grams whey along with ala, creatine and glutamine.

My ? is can I use Gatorade for my carb drink? It is alot cheaper.

What do u guys use??
 
I used to-I mix in some creatine and glutamine in it though. Then about 10 minutes later I take 50 grams of whey. But I found that Gatorade did not have enough carbs in it. I had to drink like 16 oz or something. Now I use Grape Juice, Less I have to suck down right after a hard workout.

I like to use a cheap weight gainer + proteing combo, especially when I'm bulking. My post workout drink would look something like this:
2 scoops weight gainer (1/2 serving)
2 scoops protein (1 serving)
5g glutamine
5g creatine

for
52g protein
166g carbs

I operate on a tight budget, and I just can't justify springing for those carb drinks, they seem like overpriced sugar water to me!
 
Yes you can do that. Somtimes I mix powdered Gatorade in vanilla whey isolate with creatine and glutamine. Throw it all in the blender with a few icecubes and some water.

Yeah why not, but like rubgythug said it would be cheaper & less to drink to use grape juice.

When bulking I usually use a bulk up/protein powder, from Eas.

I had always heard you shouldn't take your creatine, and glutamine at the same time. Because if taken at the same time, they fight over the nutrients or something. I remember Chesta from fitnessboard had some study on this, but I don't think I saved it.
 
i use whey protein, dextrose, and malto in my post workout shake. also throw in 10 grams glutamine.
the dextrose and malto are real cheap i get them for like $5/each for a 5 pound bag. cheap as hell!!!
 
50g protein
50g dextrose/malto combo
500mg ginger root
Water

Bulking: add 5g creatine and juice (orange or Grape)

Keto cutting: reduce dex/malt to ~30g

Gatorade is watered down. Carb drinks are for the rich. Grape juice whips the llama's ass (in a good way)
 
coolness...throw the powder in there with the gatorade!!!
