Rice cakes pre show?

yes . you can't load glycogen without fluid . for every molecule of glycogen loaded it carries 3-5x its weight in water .. if you don't take in hydrated carbs like wet rice, and use rice cakes instead, the carb will pull water from wherever it can and load as glycogen.. and in this way you will actually pull sub q water and put it into muscle cells .


btw - this is totally person and situation dependent . some people pre contest don't need rice cakes and they actually need water and sodium . some people may just need rice cakes with almond butter and extra fats . it all depends

What about pop corn? Not like buttery fatning pop corn. Like bland ass regular popcorn. Wouldn't that be a dry carb?

Mmhmm, as are breads that don’t contain a bunch of fat, cereals that don’t have a bunch of fat or fructose (think shit like Chex and low fiber bran cereals), etc.
I’ve seen people get absurd refeed results with plain bagels as well.

The only problem with dry refeeds is that they will make your mouth feel like desert hell through the whole process of eating and for several hours afterward. Not a huge deal though.
