now im not saying IF cant be done without pre workout carbs, im just saying IMO ur training is not gonna be as productive. if u have carbs already present in ur system, then u will also have circulating insulin and fuel to start the recovery process immediately PWO, not to mention the energy from dietary carbs in the form of blood glucose..

just my opinion..
Hmm sounds interesting, but if I get pre work out carbs my insulin will spike already, so I loose the point with my huge insulin spike. And if I get carbs I will be using them as fuel instead of the fat on my body.. I understand you and it may give a minor strengh increase, but the question is if it's worth it?

I know personally if I get any carbs in my fasted stage I will get hungry like an animal immediately, because I affect my insulin level, what do you think about that 405?

The thing I really like about working out fasted is an incredible focus I get aswell.. because I have not affected my insulin level in any kind of way during the day

And btw which carbs do you take pre work? sounds interesting
