Some suggest that, since individual lifts or short-duration efforts don’t rely heavily on glycogen, carb intake might not be critical for strength athletes. If glycogen depletion isn’t a pressing issue, could athletes thrive on lower-carb diets without sacrificing performance? Or could there be overlooked benefits to having greater carbohydrate availablily in those sessions?

  • In strength sports and resistance training, do carbohydrates play an important role or not?
  • Are carbohydrates really necessary for resistance training?
  • How does training volume, intensity and goals impact the carbohydrate requirement?

In this episode, Dr. Cliff Harvey and Dr. Eric Helms offer their perspectives on this interesting and practically important issue.
