Right now, I just take 5g creatine about six hours before, preworkout immediately before, and drink a protein mix after my workouts, but I read an article about optimal creatine use ane now I’m wondering what everyone elsr is doing
I find it hard to believe carbs don’t increase or decrease performance. As someone who does a lot of carb cycling when cutting this is crazy to hear. Of course everyone is different but I can feel a noticable difference on those high days vs low days. Similar to overall eating diet in general.
Edit: mind sharing the research as article I like to learn about this stuff.
If you feel a difference, then keep doing it. Scientific studies tell you how the sample population responds on average. If some people experience a positive effect and others get a negative effect, that can average out to look like there’s no effect. In the end, what matters is how it affects you.
I can say with certainty that carbs before and during a workout helps prevent me from passing out. The effect is very obvious.
