Bulking diet for 1st time test use- new guy

Valid point. I should of left the word "completely" out when referring to depleting glycogen. As it sounds like you already know, there are many factors that play a part. Is the person carb loading, duration, and intensity of exercise. None the less glycogen stores get depleted and carbs are needed to maintain blood glucose levels. This is why I use a simple carb (graham crackers) with a high GI for faster absorption. I don't disagree with using complex. I know many professionals that always say the more complex the better. I just know the time to get away with a simple carb is PWO meal.

Again PWO meal is the only time to really get away with this. I believe in getting faster absorption through simple carbs for PWO meal.

Bingo. "Get away with" being the operative term here. As for faster absorption - well, no doubt simple carbs will facilitate this. We can argue all day on the necessity (or lack thereof IMO) of this, but I digress. Different debate for a different thread.

Fruit is nutritious and has many significant vitamins and anti-oxidants the body needs. Obviously in cutting due to the sugar in fruit, it should only be used PWO or in morning on empty stomach (glycogen levels depleted).

Yep - no argument against the nutritional value of fruit. I was only questioning the graham crackers. Agreed on your feelings of fruit consumption while cutting.

Ok I'm gonna have to learn how to quote better. Sorry
