[QUOTE="BigTex, post: 254319, member: 43589"] Let me explain energy substrates needed in weight training. Type II muscle fibers, also known as fast-twitch muscle fibers, are a type of muscle fiber that contract quickly and generate high levels of force. These muscle fibers are specialized for activities requiring short bursts of intense power, such as sprinting or weightlifting. They have a relatively low capacity for aerobic metabolism and rely primarily on anaerobic metabolism to produce energy. When it comes to glucose, Type II muscle fibers have a high reliance on glucose as a fuel source. Glucose is a form of sugar that serves as a primary source of energy for muscle cells. Type II muscle fibers have a high density of enzymes involved in anaerobic glycolysis, a process that breaks down glucose into pyruvate and produces ATP (adenosine triphosphate) without the need for oxygen. During high-intensity exercise or activities, Type II muscle fibers primarily utilize anaerobic glycolysis to rapidly generate ATP. This process involves the breakdown of stored glycogen (the stored form of glucose in muscles) into glucose, which is then converted to pyruvate and further metabolized to produce ATP. This allows Type II muscle fibers to produce energy quickly but with the drawback of limited endurance due to the accumulation of metabolic byproducts, such as lactic acid. [ATTACH type="full" alt="lacticsystem.gif"]32150[/ATTACH] You need to eat carbs to supply the energy substrates to grow type II muscle fingers used in weight training. If nothing else, the bare minimum which would include 2-3 hour before and after training. So you might think about splitting that 150-200g of carbs to before and after training. [/QUOTE]
