I subtitute Mass maker for the dextrose becuae Mass maker has @#$&! load of maltodextrin in it which spike faster than dextrose does and the proteins are entered in continously over an hour and a half rather then shoved in the muscle. Difference between high glycemic and low glycemic carbs is just the rate they fill the muscle and that is all. Your glycogen level with get replenshed the same amount but just in a slower manner thats all. -------------- As far as genetics go, the skies the limit.
