Great video.The problem is that eating carbs before training works best, if the goal is building muscle. If the goal is longevity and health, opposite strategy should be applied. Then lowering mTOR and increasing AMPK is desired. Keeping some balance and switching those approaches might be a good long run solution...

@@andy431431 thanks dude, ive tried that level of carbs per day before, and it was just terrible for strength training (natty). Recently I've been doing around 150, while on a calorie deficit and its significantly easier to output intensity. Perhaps enhanced bodybuilders can tolerate low carb better?
That's a complex question with an even more complex answer. All I can give you is an anecdotal answer. I've been doing ketogenic carnivore and working out since Sept 1 2019, which eliminates antinutrients. It's been good for both fat loss (55#) and muscle gains (doubled the weight in every exercise in the same period). Now being on the diet/ way of eating I am on my main power source is ketones, however 15-25 grams is not enough carbs to kick me out of ketosis, but it enough to cause a rise in igf1. So I am running of primarily ketones for the workout but trickling the 15-20 grams of carbs through the work out. I'm still in ketosis, still have energy and still getting the igf1 response needed for protein synthesis. Hope that helps
@@andy431431 sounds like you are peaking your novice LP, so congrats, and especially on being able to lose fat. I'm a two year solid intermediate, struggling to lose fat while retaining muscle. I tried ketogenic carnivore type diet at a caloric deficit of about 300/day and lost 2 kgs of muscle the first 4 weeks, my strength collapsed. I did lose some fat but it was in equal measure to muscle loss. It wasn't worth it lol. Recently I've taken a lesson from bodybuilders and walk 60 mins every day (-500cal aprox). It seems low intensity cardio paired with strength training is doing the trick, I lost 2 kgs of fat the past month, muscle is intact and I'm PRing all my main lifts. Diet ...I've actually been on a calorie surplus (I mean BMR upwards, not counting calories for exercise, 2350/day is the mark).
That video explains why I felt always so bad after fasted workout session, unfortunately they are still people out there recommending it fir fat loss and claiming it increases testosterone. Never felt right to me.
Exact the same experiences i've made in over 20 years of training. Please don't laugh - I eat gummi bears before each training session. I got more power the whole training session and the mental motivation increase.
With the exception of morning training sessions due to elevated testosterone levels, pre workout carbs make a drastic difference in my experiences. Very informative video.
Answer is and should always be “it depends” as everyone is different , what is current body fat, what is current goal, which would equal a better work out for you, i find when lean having carbs is better, when fat and insulin resistant training fasted is more optimal
Consume carbs before, during (carbs drink) and after workout. Before workout = to get energy available. During worlout = to maintain energy levels (only if your workout lasts for more than one hour).After workout to resplanish and get back the used energy (glycogen) to the muscles. 1 gram of glycogen = 70% water. Which means muscle = 70% water. So, no carbs = flat looking weak muscles. Thank me later.
For me carbs in the morning or before a workout make me sluggish and sleepy. I always have the best workouts training fasted (after I got used to it), I think it is because I'm a neurotype 2A with poor insulin sensitivity. I handle carbs better post workout and in the evenings. Maybe muscle gain is not optimal like this but I can be agressive during workout and I also assume that we should be catabolic sometimes to be anabolic later then. Being catabolic is the trigger to being anabolic. You know: yin and yang.
Maybe that would be a good approach to maintain, as ying and yang is all about balance lol. But you'd wanna spend more time in the anabolic state if your primary goal is to build muscle. Example: enhanced bodybuilders; 24/7 in the anabolic zone, uitcome: rapid muscle gain. Or when protein breakdown equals protein synthesis the end result would be neutral.
I agree 100%, This Coach has a very good approach on building muscle, at the same time reducing Cortisol levels. This also addresses adrenal insufficiency, something that could over extend your adrenal glands. I always take in carbs before my workout, so my reserve is not being used up.👍💪
@@earlcoles5215 I usually start a small breakfast, I use a 32G scooper from my protein powder to get an accurate measurement, cook 32g of oatmeal, add 25G of your favorite protein, mix well....then add a no sugar or low sugar powder peanut butter 1 teaspoon only. I eat this 1 hour before working out, you'll get a good pump, the carbs in the oatmeal will drive the protein into your muscles quicker and stablize your cortisol level and insulin, this is why no sweetener or sugar.....some people put honey in but, it will off set your cortisol levels, hope this helps? This is also great tasting and an excellent breakfast.👍😎💪💪💪💪
I think it's important to make a clear distinction between natty and non natty training methods. Any natter lifter that follows methods of any BB that is on PED's is just failure waiting to happen.
So I love this video info thank you Coach! Would you also benefit to add some carbs like dextrose after the workout as well? Or just strictly pre-workout?

May be true if your only goal is hypertrophy, but AMPK also turns on mitochondrial adaptation for health and power. Pavel's Quick and the Dead book goes in depth on this. Not everyone has the goal of maximum hypertrophy
Hi Cristian thx for great video. So what would you say about a pre workout shake mixing 30-50g fast carbs like Maltodextrin 24-50g protein 15g Creatine and taking your L-Carnatine at the same time. Thx
What do you mean? You don't have enough energy during the workout if you don't have carbs before the workout or that your energy crashes if you have carbs post-workout?
which kind of carbs? White rice or brown rice? or soda? maybe sweet potato? soda would be instant carbs, brown rice and sweet potato should be released slower.. which is best?
Gist:Consume pre workout carb to decrease cortisol & Catecholamine Level during workout & Increase Insulin level by consuming carb for better mTor pathway
I eat before and after I train. So if I'm doing cardio with weights, should I do it before or after weights? I know AMPK from cardio after weights suppresses mTOR, but cardio after weights also suppresses myostatin. Cardio before weights increases cortisol. So if I'm eating carbs both before and after training, which one undermines anabolism more: cardio before or cardio after?
To those of you who have more experience with training and diet, I have some stupid questions... What about having a protein shake only (without carbs) before my morning run? Would it have a negative impact on fat mobilization compared to fasted cardio? Do you think it is better to consume protein or BCAA before or after the cardio session? I often feel dizzy when I get up in the morning and tend to fall over or get injured more easily... (I'm not really a morning person). If I eat carbs only (even with a lot of fibre) in the mornings, I get hungry very soon. For the rest of the day, I'm used to eating much more CH than protein. I try to replace them with their healthier alternatives (wholegrain, fruits or protein bar instead of regular chocolate, more vegetable instead of bread and pasta, etc) but I haven't experienced any significant weight loss :( I know that I don't eat enough protein, and even less from meat or dairy. Lots of articles sponsored by supplement companies recommend 120-180 gramms of protein for women but I can hardly eat 50-60 gramms a day (I'm really curious about how vegans can manage this and lose 40-60 lbs of weight without consuming meat / fish / eggs / milk products or protein supplement? ). I build muscle relatively easily with weight training but also lose it very quickly if I skip workout for a week or more. Fat loss is even more difficult as I have always been overweight, and if I stop counting calories, the fat would come back sooner or later :'(
Gang: curious to know for your pre-workout carbs..what type do you prefer ie..fruit, grains, faster digesting or slower..also are you eating them in just isolation prior to workout meaning no other macros like fat and protein mixed in.
45 minutes before a workout what I do is eating 1 peanut butter sandwich & 2 banana with black coffee. Rest of the the day keep your carbs low. It works for me
What carbs are best then.?? I wake up at 5:30 and in the gym at 6:10 so I dnt have time to make a meal before or realy eat before... I prefer a shake and after gym I can eat. What do you recomend I eat or put in my shake before gym thank you?
I Mr. Thibaudeau, thank you for this informative video. I have a question - but this may be on the verge of coaching so I will understand if you do not answer of course - regarding carb/meal intake for early morning workouts. I wake up at 4 AM and train from 4:30AM till 6:00AM, and was wondering how I should eat around my workout. I am currently doing 20g isolate + 30g cyclical dextrine pre workout, 20g EAA + 20g cyclical dextrine intra, and eat a solid meal ~90 minutes after my workout. Here are my questions: (i) shall I switch pre-workout with a solid meal (say egg whites + banana + cream of rice), and (ii) is it necessary to take protein (currently isolate) with my pre-workout carbs? Thank you :) (and sorry for my bad English, I am French...).
How can the carbohydrates i ate 2-3 hour before workout is readily available as an energy source for my muscles ? Isn't Glycogen re synthesis takes 24 hours ? Also can someone answer during workout how much hepatic glucose and muscle glucose is burned
I agree at most but may I ask about insuline if you eat fiber the meals before if you add more carbs after won't you release more insuline while you have insulin sensitivity , like more and more targeted to muscle cells?
Well if you eat fibers, they should slow down carbs entering the bloodstream, so insulin release should be more steady and without spikes.But i don't think youll release more,maybe even less.
I am broscience thinking, if you eat carbs before and after workouts that will pump up the muscle glycogen and incease mtur thus increase muscle Synthesis, not forgetting dropping cortisol or Just make me fat lmfsao?
I eat carbs INSTEAD of training. The “gains” are massive.
Lol thanks for the chuckle

To those of you who have more experience with training and diet, I have some stupid questions... What about having a protein shake only (without carbs) before my morning run? Would it have a negative impact on fat mobilization compared to fasted cardio? Do you think it is better to consume protein or BCAA before or after the cardio session? I often feel dizzy when I get up in the morning and tend to fall over or get injured more easily... (I'm not really a morning person). If I eat carbs only (even with a lot of fibre) in the mornings, I get hungry very soon. For the rest of the day, I'm used to eating much more CH than protein. I try to replace them with their healthier alternatives (wholegrain, fruits or protein bar instead of regular chocolate, more vegetable instead of bread and pasta, etc) but I haven't experienced any significant weight loss :( I know that I don't eat enough protein, and even less from meat or dairy. Lots of articles sponsored by supplement companies recommend 120-180 gramms of protein for women but I can hardly eat 50-60 gramms a day (I'm really curious about how vegans can manage this and lose 40-60 lbs of weight without consuming meat / fish / eggs / milk products or protein supplement? ). I build muscle relatively easily with weight training but also lose it very quickly if I skip workout for a week or more. Fat loss is even more difficult as I have always been overweight, and if I stop counting calories, the fat would come back sooner or later :'(
If you're vegan and won't budge on that I'd suggest finding a vegan bodybuilding channel to get the best information that will help with your goals.
What I don't eat carbs. Is it still possible to gain muscle? They said glycogen is only depleted by 30%. I am overweight and I want to lose weight
If you're overweight, you are already full of glycogen. Yes, you can build muscle w out eating carbs before a workout.
Bak to school, some professors giving out such knowledge with passion only limiting factor being my feather freakle mind wandering off.
So Carbs before only? Or before and during? Or before during and after?
depends on the type of carb, fast carb like glucose before only
javierrruiz1 why? Glucose gets stored as muscle glycogen. Better to have fructose before & glucose after
@TheEnd fructose >>fruit

Well if you eat fibers, they should slow down carbs entering the bloodstream, so insulin release should be more steady and without spikes.But i don't think youll release more,maybe even less.
Of course Milo advises using Insulin pre workout as well so without the insulin is that still any value?
but you would release insulin naturally.
When u eat the simple carbs before training your body will produce adequate insulin to drive the sugar into the muscle
