Yeah, that's one of my better photos. After the orthodontic work but between full-body waxes
Anyway, Talo, it's like I was saying. 750 ml's all at once and then following it with a liter...it's just too much water at once. It's good sipping something during the workout cuz that keeps things moving out of the stomach but it's the volume of liquid at the beginning that causes the problem. Just plain water is enough to cause gi upset if you drink too much at once. It's dilute enough probable (although I would have used a liter of water) so it's not the "stuff" in the water but just too much at once.
I'm not saying to stop using WMS if is works. I'm just putting this out there in case someone is having these problems. Don't automatically blame it on the carbs because, like I said, it's probably user error. But again, a mixture of carbs would be better in that case because if you take in enough of one type all at once the gut won't absorb it all and it'll end up causing GI distress. I keep saying malto+dex for a reason
. If you want the carbs pre-workout at all, that is.
For me I am not going to take creatine pre-workout anymore. I don't really need to do that at all. This way I will drink a little less before and sip it during the workout.
