Do You Benefit from Carbs during Workouts?

How important are carbohydrates for your strength training results? And if you’re planning for a long, grueling workout—should you even bring carbs with you to the gym, to eat or drink during the workout? That’s the main subject for today, aided by a new, randomized, triple-blind, placebo-controlled crossover trial on intra-training carbohydrate ingestion in CrossFit-trained adults. In the second half of the episode, we move on to more personal matters: How did Daniel’s bench press competition go? And is Philip still doing his cardio quarters at the gym? *** Do you like what you hear so far? Please leave a five-star review in your podcast player. And hit that follow button!
