    I think physiological levels of hormones are irrelevant. The fact carbs may blunt GH will have no effect. I personally put all my carbs PWO, and the hours after. I train at 5pm so all my carbs are from about 6-10. On my non workout days I'm Basically zero carb, on workout days I slam a ton of carbs. You could talk about insulin response, circadian rhythm, non insulin mediated glucose transport, resistance training and glut 4 transport, and lastly anecdotal evidence. There's also the Idea of how food effects your workouts. Eating carbs 1 hour before your workout is a horrible idea , yet many people preach big pre workout meals

    I've read CBL, and followed it as well, had to modify it tremendously for fat loss obviously as it is more for two other things. I personally think it is a decent approach to maintenance, strength accumulation and building mass. But I've been doing things differently lately, and eating carbs 1 hour before workout isn't necessarily a bad idea like he says it is. Lately I will have my dinner which will include both low and high gi carbs. Sometimes I'll have extra high GI carbs after as well, I'll usually train within a couple hours, but I do sip a carb/leucine combo during training. Training sessions have been great lately. I just think that horrible idea statement is taking things too far. Maybe not a good idea for CBL, but for all other diets?
