I must be training on outdated concepts then.
How beneficial could it be to spike insulin and then crash 20 minutes later?
Are you going to have energy when this happens?
Do you like to train with your insulin levels bouncing all over the board?
The only insulin surge I feel comfortable with at training time is from the aminos I take, but hey that's me.
I think everyone is different and if it "ain't broke don't fix it" ......I'm not talking about taking in 100g of dextrose....but maybe 20-30g of something like waxi maize.....I usually use insulin pre workout...so it's somewhat of a moot point for me anyways. I say do what works...but always keep an open mind...whatever source of fuel you give ur body it burns for energy....so if u eat a moderate protein and carb diet with minimal fats my body wants to use carbs for fuel....and if there are no carbs...guess what's gonna get burned for energy? First those bcaas....than muscle. I'm all about doing cardio in a fasted state as I usually wake up, take gh....do 30-40 minutes fasted cardio and than wait another 2 hours to eat. But I have never felt good doing a workout fasted
I almost seemingly feel the muscles gettig depleted and I can never get a pump...but that's me
