Pre-Workout Fueling: Maximize Starch and Glycogen Loads
Ensure your muscle cells are fully saturated with glucose before high-intensity output. This plan utilizes complex rolled oats, root vegetable starches, and complete plant proteins to guarantee slow, non-spiking energy release.
Why It Matters for Performance
Glycogen depletion causes immediate strength loss and cognitive fatigue. Loading targeted, slow-burning complex carbohydrates 2-3 hours before exertion secures stable glucose levels so you do not hit the wall.
