I agree 100%. I always try to eat a meal with some slow digesting carbs an hour or so before I workout. I also have more energy/pumps if I do.
It's the timing of the fast digesting carbs during or after workout I'm confused about.
I keep reading conflicting opinions on timing and dosage of carb powders such as Waxy Maize.
Some recommend it Intra or even Pre-WO with BCAAs.
Others recommend it with a shake immediately Post-WO. (ie.Big Blast)
Still others say just the carb immediately Post-WO and a protein shake 1/2 hr later...
