Who eats fruit on show prep? What type, how much, and when do you pull it?
Why not eat fruits in contest prep even in show day???Who eats fruit on show prep? What type, how much, and when do you pull it?
Exactly fruit is 80-90% dextrose....Most people are still brainwashed by the (false) notion that pure fructose = fruits in terms of health and body composition.
Huh?Exactly fruit is 80-90% dextrose....
this is something i also read or heard a coach say. the fruit satisfies the liver so it won't rob the glucose that the muscles need so a combo is best post workout. liver gets topped up first from the fruits and than won't dip into the glucose that can all be absorbed by the muscles. which probably would increase fullness even more than just glucose alone?but fructose is needed - it replenishes liver glycogen, and if we use large amounts of carbohydrates during and after training, such as 100g+ intra and 150g+ fasting, it would be good if some of them came from fructose, because this will allow us to increase the amount of carbs that the body can store in a given unit.
