Clav recommends 200g carbs, 2 hours pre workout?

[ssxjdgh]

Clav recommends 200-300g carbs pre workout that sounds like a crazy high amount. Over 1110kcal calories for 200g carb alone for sure. Is this right?
Is the 2 hour thing right. Difficult to do workouts in the morning waiting 2 hours.

[gymcelld]

Way to much lol you sure it’s not for the whole day?

 

[m0ss26]

200g carbs is like 850 calories if you get the right food

 

[m0ss26]

I do 100g an hour before I lift

 

[ssxjdgh]

Way to much lol you sure it’s not for the whole day?

Nah he really says 200-300 pre workout.

I do 100g an hour before I lift

That sounds more normal. How many calories?

 

[gymcelld]

Have candy pre lift trust me

 

[m0ss26]

Nah he really says 200-300 pre workout.



That sounds more normal. How many calories?

Like 500 probably

1g of carbs is 4 calories so if you get something like gummy worms which is basically pure carbs you eat around 400 worth

 

[Ch1gga]

Who would even listen to Clavicular

 

[ssxjdgh]

Like 500 probably

But gummy worms you'd have to eat closer to workout no? Idk why he says 2 hours pre

 

[ThomasDeutsch]

I wouldnt stop eating if i ate 200 grams of carbs pre workout

I only drink black coffee and take nicotine as a pre workout meal then binge on carbs before sleep

 

[ssxjdgh]

I mean he's clearly doing something right.

Using carbs to fall asleep?

 

[ThomasDeutsch]

Using carbs to fall asleep?

Yeah it helps me sleep better
Anyways I only eat one meal a day cause i used to eat multiple meals and i had binge eating issues with it

 

[Tonymontana]

As long as I get at least 50 grams of carbs 30-60 minutes before my workout, I notice zero difference in performance going higher.

What about during?

 

[Optimizing]

If your listening to Clav for health advice your a tard

 

[John-Erik-Hexagon]

Have candy pre lift trust me

Yeah quick energy I like to have honey about 30 mins before I workout and a black coffee with abit of salt I would buy pre but I it’s so expensive

 

[ssxjdgh]

If your listening to Clav for health advice your a tard

There's probably some amount of truth in there tbh

 

[ssxjdgh]

Honey with what lol?

 

[Nerian]

100g is plenty. You're not gonna burn 400kcal of muscle glycogen.

 

[SoundnVision]

About what I do but I lift plus run 8km

 

[Optimizing]

There's probably some amount of truth in there tbh

Not at all, all you’re doing is turning those carbs into sugar. No difference as if you ate 20 Rice Krispies

 

[ssxjdgh]

Not at all, all you’re doing is turning those carbs into sugar. No difference as if you ate 20 Rice Krispies

So how many carbs is optimal?

 

[John-Erik-Hexagon]

Honey with what lol?

Rice cake

 

[ssxjdgh]

Rice cake

Thats 7 grams of carbs lol

 

[John-Erik-Hexagon]

Thats 7 grams of carbs lol

Yes

 

[Aryan Incel]

I do 100g an hour before I lift

Same I eat like 20-25 jelly babies

 

[ssxjdgh]

Yes

Thats nothing

Same I eat like 20-25 jelly babies

Is that a little pack?

 

[Aryan Incel]

Thats nothing

Is that a little pack?

Yeah around thst

 

[Nectar]

I think it’s to do with the pump and more glucose storage the better logic. Same goes with why you have to consume sufficient amount of creatine that is stored in the muscles

 

[Futura]

Most of the health benefits associated with exercise are due to exercise using glucose

U should probably eat carbs if you do intense workouts tho

 

[ssxjdgh]

Yeah around thst

So a pack 1 hour before? Hows the pump

 

[Aryan Incel]

So a pack 1 hour before? Hows the pump

Very good, I do half pack before then the rest of the pack after with insulin

 

[Restitutor Orbis]

I mean he's clearly doing something right.

He is exchanging his future health for success in the moment. He's gonna look like SHIT in a decade, while everyone who stays clean and natty and only does sparse high ROI hardmaxxes will chill on the beach with excellent looks and health. He's burning hot, but he will burn out quickly

 

[unovasub4]

for an average person you wouldn't need more than 60-90g pre-workout as your body cannot possibly use any more than that during one workout, even if you were to be doing a long fullbody session. Even in that case you can bring some type of sugary drink and just have it as intra like 50 minutes in. Don't listen to clav cuz he only larps in the lifting community and has no idea what he's talking about.

He's not doing sunbeds so he's preserving his skin. Only taking TRT dose test. He wouldn't be doing that if he wasn't thinking long term.

Is it worth doing an intra drink or snack for the pump?

IF your workouts are long and you feel burnt out like 2/3 into it. at the end of the day you don't need to overthink it.

 

[Optimizing]

So how many carbs is optimal?

0

 

[ssxjdgh]

0

For building muscle

 

[John-Erik-Hexagon]

Thats nothing

Yea ik i only have like 30 grams of carbs as pre workout as my glycogen stores are full and ready to go as i eat a sufficient amount of carbs throughout the day leading up to my workout. I don’t need that much extra carbs it’s just adding calories. I only need a little bit of simple carbs for a boost.

Not optimal before gym performance carbs pre workout drive more growth

 

[Andreiv_12]

Whats wrong with roidmaxxing?

that you shouldnt follow what that nigga says, the 200g carbs before lift is a very good take, but he is onto all the drugs, if you are natty, 90% of what he says doesnt apply to you

 

[Andreiv_12]

ice cream lol?
