[QUOTE="madman, post: 71500, member: 13851"] Pre workout meal/drink may boost energy for some or make others sluggish depending on what was eaten. If leaning out is your goal I would eliminate the carbs and just have an EAA/BCAA drink pre-workout and maybe a few tablespoons of coconut oil in black coffee or green tea. If looking to add mass and train heavy for strength than carbs are critical and contrary to popular belief the carbs you eat pre workout will improve energy to train but it is really the glycogen replenishment from your most recent training session of that specific muscle that will be stored in the muscle until your next training session that will contribute the greatest to strength/intensity of your next training session, so basically as long as you are replenishing your glycogen stores by consuming carbohydrates daily you should be able to lift heavier and train longer let alone get better pumps in the gym and your muscles will always look fuller when consuming an adequate amount of carbs in your diet. Training with depleted glycogen stores is one of the most critical mistakes people make when trying to add mass/increase strength in the gym. I would put money on it that if you train following a low carb/high fat/moderate protein diet vs a moderate-high carbohydrate/moderate protein/low-moderate fat diet that you will always be bigger/stronger/have fuller muscles/better pumps/improved recovery any day following a moderate-high carbohydrate diet.
